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.

I'll cast a vote for Enterprise: The First Adventure. It doesn't entirely mesh with canon in a few places, but oh well. I love the backstory for Rand pre-Starfleet so much it's become part of my headcanon for her whenever I write her, the pitch perfect (heh, wordplay simultaneously intended and not, considering plot details) characterization of Uhura throughout, the fascinating glimpses of a Klingon ethnic hierarchy beyond valor, the excellent depiction of Sulu as protector and upstander. That is canon, darn it. :) And the broken food synthesizer situation will never not make me snicker!

Honorable mention to a novel I didn't get to finish; thanks school holidays... Doomsday World, which is TNG era. I'm still amused, even years later, whenever I remember an exchange between a planetside Troi and Riker.
Troi: "Will, be careful. You're going to end up in sickbay."
Riker: *promptly slips and falls down loosely rocky hillside in a shower of scree*
Ha!
