What's your favorite Star Trek novel?

View Answers

I read all the TOS and TNG novels up through the mid-90s. I haven't read novels for any of the other series.

Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan is my favorite TOS novel. I am still salty that the tag remains unwrangled on AO3. There were a lot of good fic for this novel last Yuletide (mine*cough*mine LOL), and I don't think anybody beyond the recipients knew they were there.

Also loved Dwellers in the Crucible by Margaret Wander Bonnano. Wow, what an iddy, kinky, porny book full of OCs. Very formative for wee!Lorraine.

For TNG, I have a great fondness for all the books written by Peter David, especially the ones that feature Q. His writing is so funny, but then it gut punches you when you're not expecting it.

I also really enjoyed Masks by John Vornholt.

Tell me about your faves.

Oh and what's the one...about Kirk's nephew falling in love with a Klingon? Sarek, that's the one! All that other stuff didn't register, but the forbidden cross-species romance did!

I don't remember that one at all, but it sounds awesome!

Yeah, really it's about Sarek's history, how he met Amanda, how he became Ambassador to Earth, and there's a whole Romulan plot thrown in too. I think the author is A.C. Crispin. But, see, the Romulans arrange to have Peter Kirk kidnapped and blame it on Klingons! In a dastardly, dishonourable plot! So he's also a prisoner of a beautiful Klingon warrior! So you can see where things go from there!

I liked A.C. Crispin's Time for Yesterday and Yesterday's Son, so I bet I did read this and just have no memory of it. LOL

it was by a.c. crispin. i like that novel too.

sometimes i think about peter saying she smelled like peaches or something. she wondered if that was god & he said it was, but for some reason didn't explain that it was a fruit.
