Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Keith R.A. DeCandido‘s “Star Trek: I.K.S. Gorkon: Book 1: A Good Day To Die“: Over the years, I have known Trek fans who wanted a Klingon-based Star Trek series. Instead of following the adventures of a primarily Starfleet crew, this hypothetical series would take place on a Klingon ship and follow the […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Judith Reeves-Stevens‘  “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Millennium: 2 The War Of The Prophets“: Sisko’s role as the emissary of the “False Prophets” means that Weyoun keeps him and his crew alive while the pieces are put into place to fulfill a prophecy that will bring […]

Here it is, much delayed: my review of James Swallow’s Star Trek: Discovery: Fear Itself! Literary Treks 234: The Seed that Never Gets any Water

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Judith Reeves-Stevens‘s “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Millennium: 1 The Fall of Terok Nor“: The Millennium trilogy is a series of books I had heard a lot about but took a long time to get around to reading. Thankfully, my co-host on the Literary Treks podcast, Bruce Gibson, […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for Gene Deweese‘s “Star Trek: The Next Generation: 2 The Peacekeepers“: A planet on the brink of nuclear war suddenly discovers they are not alone in the universe when mysterious alien technology appears in orbit. One man takes control of the technology and uses it to halt the […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Captain’s Glory“: I found myself surprised by how much I enjoyed Captain’s Glory. Readers of my earlier reviews know that I’m not exactly the biggest fan of the “Shatnerverse” novels, with their rampant Kirk-worship and outlandish plots that serve to feed the “Kirk is a god” […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Captain’s Blood“: Captain’s Blood is the second book in William Shatner’s “Totality” trilogy, and as such, I feel like it learned a few lessons from the first book, Captain’s Peril. For one thing, in both books, certain characters are under the impression that a major Star Trek character has […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: 23 The 34th Rule“: The Ferengi, a creation that came from the early days of Star Trek: The Next Generation, suffered from an image problem. Initially meant to be the “big baddies” of TNG, the Ferengi were never really taken seriously. Many fans saw […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Captain’s Peril“: Captain James T. Kirk has had an eventful few years in the 24th century after having been resurrected by the Borg in the novel The Return. Along with Picard and the crew of the Enterprise, he has saved the galaxy from the likes of Vulcan […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q-Squared“: I first read Q-Squared nearly twenty-three years ago, back when it was first published. I don’t think it was the first Star Trek novel I ever read, but it was certainly the most well-loved. A gift from my aunt and uncle, Q-Squared became one of those novels […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Dark Victory“: Dark Victory is the second book in William Shatner’s Mirror Universe trilogy, following on from the previous novel, Spectre, and concluding in the next, Preserver. After Kirk faces down his evil doppelganger, Tiberius, a few months have passed. Starfleet considers Tiberius dead, and tries to convince Kirk of […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: 36 Worlds Apart Book 2: How Much for Just the Planet?“: Star Trek is no stranger to absurdity. “The Trouble with Tribbles,” “I, Mudd,” and “A Piece of the Action” are probably the most notable instances. However, I think it’s fair to say that Star Trek has never […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: Voyager: 2 The Escape“: For the most part, I wasn’t disappointed. While The Escape is the first original Voyager novel, and thus is vulnerable to the pitfalls of not knowing much about the source material beyond the series bible and scripts of the first few episodes, the story manages […]

Trek Lit Reviews has a review of Star Trek: Enterprise: Last Full Measure In many ways, By the Book feels a lot like a story that fits in Enterprise’s first season. We have a crew that is quite green, encountering situations for the first time that would feel like old hat to later Star Trek […]
