Star Trek
4.3
(109)
"Captain Calhoun was ‘Star Trek: New Frontier’ which I agree was fantastic."
"My recommendation of books. TOS: The Kobayashi Maru; TNG: The Romulan Prize, Blaze of Glory, Ship of the Line, Balance of Power, Here There Be Dragons; DS9: The 34th Rule, The Laertian Gamble; VOY: Just finished 'The Escape' and really liked."
"There are a lot of decent and many great ones to choose from. The movie novelizations are generally good. Federation, Q-Squared, Vendetta, A Stitch in Time, Captain's Table series."
"Can also confirm that the Destiny trilogy is really good. The Q-Continuum trilogy by Greg Cox is also really great. Lastly, The Autobiography of Captain Picard."
"Vendetta and Imzadi would top that list for me. I also really enjoyed the New Frontier series."
"I'd suggest the three Destiny novels by Mack which are terrific."
"My favorite is: *The Nanotech War* ... It takes place during season 6/7 and is a solid piece of Sci-Fi. I love it."
""A Stitch In Time" is by far the best I’ve read."
"The Final Reflection is definitely one of the best."
"*The Final Reflection*."

"Every Peter David book I've read is fun."
"His New Frontier series with Captain Calhoun was fantastic (chef's kiss)."
"My favorite is Strike Zone followed closely by Q Squared."
"Everything Peter David's written would fit the bill"
"I always tend to recommend Peter David to folks looking for a Trek book. "Vendetta," "Imzadi," and "Q-In-Law" are some popular suggestions. The "Destiny" trilogy by Mack is quite good. The "Titan" series beginning with "Taking...""
"If you like the Borg, check out Vendetta by Peter David. It functions as somewhat of a sequel to TNGs "Best of Both Worlds""
"Peter David's work in general, and Q-Squared and the New Frontier series in specific."
"Q-in-law is a whole lot of fun. Q-Squared is also a blast. Peter David is certainly the author for lighter humorous Trek books."
"Q in Law is one of my favorite Trek novels, bar none. I've read it so many times that the paperback is literally falling apart, and I still find it hilarious."
"Anything by Peter David"

"The Rihannsu saga by Diane Duane - 5book miniseries about romulans and the TOS crew."
"Seconding anything written by Diane Duane."
"Spock's World by Diane Duane is really good."
"I'm a big fan of the Diane Duane novels - besides Dark Mirror, there's also Spock's World, The Wounded Sky, My Enemy My Ally, and Doctor's Orders."
"The Rihannsu series by Diane Duane"
"The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane. It features TOS crew and was adapted into the TNG episode Where No One Has Gone Before."
"Anything by Jean Lorrah, Diane Duane, Diane Carey, or Peter David. The Corp of Engineers series."
"My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane"
"Diane Duane and Diane Carey did some excellent ones."

William Shatner
4.0
(4)
"Despite self aggrandizement, Willian Shatner's novels are pretty decent. He makes Kirk occasionally a ridiculously OP character, but he does a fantastic job at understanding other characters."
"Doctors Orders. TOS. It is still my favourite Dr McCoy Book."
"Doctor's Orders (TOS), A Stitch in Time (DS9) and Collision Course (TOS) by one W. Shatner."
"The novels that Shatner wrote were actually not bad either."
