Treklit.com has added a new review for Christie Golden‘s “Star Trek: Voyager: Spirit Walk Book 2: Enemy of My Enemy”: If nothing else, Enemy of My Enemy makes up for the lack of plot in Old Wounds by leaps and bounds. My biggest complaint about that novel is that nothing really happens; in this novel, […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for L.A. Graf‘s “Star Trek: New Earth: Book 3: Rough Trails“: I tried reading the New Earth miniseries years ago, but wound up not being able to get through it.

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for D.C. Fontana‘s “Star Trek: 44 Vulcan’s Glory“: During her time on Star Trek, Dorothy Fontana was responsible for much of Spock’s character development, so it is no surprise that Spock plays a large role in Vulcan’s Glory. There is a lot to unpack with regards to Spock’s character in […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Michael Jan Friedman‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Death in Winter“: While the Picard/Crusher romance is central to the novel, I found myself more interested in the Romulan political situation. Following the coup by Shinzon and his eventual death, the Romulan Empire finds itself in turmoil. Tal’aura, the […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Peter David‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Triangle: Imzadi II“: In the final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, an unexpected romance took shape: the brief romantic relationship between Deanna Troi and Worf. The seeds of it had been planted much earlier; some would argue that as […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Andy Mangels, Michael A. Martin‘s “Star Trek: The Lost Era: The Sundered“: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was the first Trek film I saw in the theatre. I remember being amazed at seeing my heroes on the big screen; Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock leading the charge in preserving peace between […]

Vardeman‘s “Star Trek: 12 Mutiny On The Enterprise“: Although the Enterprise is badly in need of repairs and the crew requires rest, Starfleet orders Kirk to take her on an emergency mission to prevent war between the planets Ammdon and Jurnamoria. The Romulans have been making aggressive […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Carolyn Clowes‘s “Star Trek: 49 The Pandora Principle“: The backstory for Saavik is one that always fascinated me. Although it never made it into the finished film, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was to initially establish her as having a Romulan background and an unorthodox childhood. Unfortunately, […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Michael Jan Friedman‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Valiant (Stargazer Prequel)“: Over the course of his Star Trek writing career, Michael Jan Friedman has been responsible for nearly everything we know about the crew of the U.S.S. Stargazer. While (of course) non-canon, his depictions of the Stargazer crew which began in the TNG novel Reunion have […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Garfield Reeves-Stevens, and Judith Reeves-Stevens‘s “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Millennium: 3 Inferno“: Inferno marks the conclusion of the Millennium trilogy, three books that unironically embody the word “epic.” Perhaps it’s a cliche that so many Star Trek adventures involve the “end of the universe as we know it,” and of course we […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Kevin Ryan and Michael Jan Friedman‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: 32 Requiem“: Ever since their appearance in the Original Series episode “Arena,” fans of Star Trek have been fascinated by the Gorn.
