Treklit.com has added a new review for Peter David‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Before Dishonor”: Following the defeat of the Borg in the novel Resistance, the massive cube has appeared dormant. Starfleet has assigned the U.S.S. Einstein to lead the investigation of the cube, and Admiral Kathryn Janeway insists on accompanying them, ignoring the […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Brad Ferguson‘s “Star Trek: 54 A Flag Full Of Stars”: I love when books “fill in the gaps” in Star Trek future history, and the so-called “lost years” are one of my favorite gaps to fill! The years between The Original Series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Geoffrey Thorne‘s “Star Trek: Titan: Sword of Damocles”: In Greek literature, Damocles was a man who greatly admired King Dionysius for his wealth and power. Dionysius offered Damocles the opportunity to take his place on the throne for one day so that Damocles could experience having the king’s […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Charles Pellegrino and George Zebrowski‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: 50 Dyson Sphere”: The massive Dyson Sphere introduced in the TNG episode “Relics” is a true marvel of engineering. In fact, that is a massive understatement. The Dyson sphere as shown would be an absolutely incredible work of […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Jean Lorrah‘s “Star Trek: 38 The Idic Epidemic”: If you are a long-time reader of Trek Lit Reviews, you may remember my review of the TOS novel The Vulcan Academy Murders by Jean Lorrah. I was very impressed with that novel, not so much by the plot (which […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Keith R.A. DeCandido‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q&A”: The post-Nemesis voyages of the Enterprise continue! In this novel, Picard is assigned to explore the planet Gorsach IX, a strange, seemingly artificial world with an odd symmetry to everything on the surface. Complicating matters is the appearance of […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Diane Carey‘s “Star Trek: New Earth: Book 6: Challenger”: In this, the sixth and final novel in the New Earth miniseries, we find the focus of the main plot shifted away from the usual gang of Kirk and company. Rather, the main character is Commander Nick Keller, who […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Christopher L. Bennett‘s “Star Trek: Titan: Orion’s Hounds”: After the two previous novels in the Titan series dealing with the Romulan situation (plus a side quest to the Small Magellanic Cloud), we finally get the beginning of Titan’s mission of exploration beyond the borders of the Federation and […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for J.M. Dillard‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Resistance”: The Borg. To the Federation, they are a menace and an existential threat. To Captain Jean-Luc Picard, it is much more personal. His experience as Locutus created wounds in his psyche that are not easily healed. The scars left behind […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Dayton Ward‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Available Light”: A strong continuation of the on-going story post-Nemesis, drawing a lot from the previous novels going all the way back to the A Time To series. Very excited to see this story continue, and the personal stakes for Picard […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch‘s “Star Trek: New Earth: Book 5: Thin Air”: The newly-established colony at Belle Terre is once again threatened by the Kauld, and similar to the previous novel, The Flaming Arrow, the attack is an unconventional one. In that case, a huge […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin‘s “Star Trek: Titan: The Red King”: At the end of the previous novel, Taking Wing, Captain Riker and the crew of the Titan are assisting Romulan Commander Donatra in her attempt to locate her missing fleet, somehow pulled into an anomaly called […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Margaret Wander Bonanno‘s “Star Trek: Burning Dreams”: At the time that Burning Dreams was written, not much was canonically known about the history of Captain Christopher Pike. We have the original pilot episode, “The Cage” (re-purposed for the only TOS two-parter, “The Menagerie”), and that’s it, canon-wise. Outside […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Jerry Oltion and Kathy Oltion‘s “Star Trek: New Earth: Book 4: The Flaming Arrow”: As I continue reading the New Earth miniseries, I find myself hoping that the overall story improves with each successive book. The overall premise is an interesting one: the Enterprise shepherds a long-term colonial […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Keith R.A. DeCandido‘s “Star Trek: Articles of the Federation”: Articles of the Federation combines two of my favorite things: it is basically The West Wing in the 24th century. In Star Trek, we usually follow the adventures of the officers of Starfleet as they explore space, defend the […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin‘s “Star Trek: Titan: Taking Wing”: When Star Trek Nemesis first hit theatres, I remember thinking that it would be very cool to be able to follow Riker to the Titan and learn about his adventures as the new captain of that vessel. […]

Treklit.com has added a new review for Una McCormack‘s “Star Trek: Discovery: The Way To The Stars”: The Way to the Stars is an excellent bit of backstory for one of my favorite Discovery characters. The young Sylvia Tilly comes to life with a past that seems far too familiar to many people. Buy on […]
