Re: Recs for Star Trek TNG novels?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, man, do I love the TNG novels. But in my experience they're all pretty terrible, so I'm not sure what to recommend.

I should preface this by saying that I haven't read any of the relatively recent novels - I understand that the written version of the Trek universe has gotten rebooted in the past 5 years or so, and a lot of people seem to have high opinions of the relaunched books, but I haven't read them.

The ones I did read, I don't think they're all that great, but I still love them. I read a ton of Trek novels, and especially TNG novels, when I was a kid - I pretty much devoured them. I would go down to the library and pretty much take out any book that I could find that said Star Trek on it and the TNG ones were the ones that I loved the most and the ones that were most plentiful. They had such a sense of adventure to them a sense of an infinitely expansive universe - they weren't afraid to present things in a serious way - but they were also fun and something that I could easily understand. And they made a huge, huge impact on me - probably more of an impact, when I was a kid, than the actual Trek TV series did (my parents didn't let me watch a whole lot of TV). They're wonderful for the color they provide and I love them to this day - but at the same time, they're mostly pretty short and simple and often kind of sloppy, looking back.

So my advice to you is, first of all, find a time machine and read them all while being about 10 or 11 years old. Barring that, just pick them up and read them and you'll probably enjoy them, as long as you don't expect too much. Or pick up the new books, because they might actually be good.

In terms of specific novels that I remember - the best / weirdest is clearly Planet X, which is a literal X-Men crossover set in the Star Trek universe. I remember liking the Double Helix books a lot, and I thought the Captain's Table series was usually pretty reliable. Other than that, as far as I'm concerned, it's a crapshoot so just pick and choose.
