- Star Trek: Discovery: Dead Endless – Dave Galanter, 2019. This first pick is one of the more recent Star Trek novels, based on Star Trek: Discovery, that spotlights the relationship between Paul Stamets and Hugh Culber, played by Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cruz in the show, respectively.
- Star Trek: Coda: Book III – Oblivion’s Gate – David Mack, 2021. This book is one of the most recent entries in the Star Trek literary universe; in fact, in one sense, it’s the final one.
- Star Trek: Federation – Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, 1994. Released in 1994, this is one of the oldest books on this list, but pay that no mind.
- Star Trek: New Frontier: House of Cards – Peter David, 1997. Peter David is a legendary author to Star Trek fans, and for good reason. He’s written 48 works of Star Trek fiction, the most prolific of which is the New Frontier series.
Highest rated TNG novels: https://www.treknovels.com/?tvshow=star-trek-the-next-generation&order=best. Highest rated Voyager novels: https://www.treknovels.com/?tvshow=star-trek-voyager&order=best. The "Destiny" trilogy is a great series.
The “Lost Era” novels are all good reads, especially “The Buried Age” which tells us what Picard was up to in-between starship commands, and “Serpents Among The Ruins” which shows us some key adventures of the Enterprise-B. Also, pretty much anything written by Keith R. A. DeCandido is worth a read. Reply reply.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of Star Trek books. There are hundreds of novels and I wish I could just put them all here. But I can’t, so instead I listed a few of the best Star Trek books from each series that I personally like for one reason or another. I truly hope you enjoy it.

Federation: The First 150 Years, David A. Goodman
This is the history of the first 150 years of the United Federation of Planets.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia, Michael and Denise Okuda
A newly revised, 2-book set is to be released on October 18, 2016 with about 300 pages of new and expanded entries, up to and including Into Darkness. YES.
The Star Trek Cookbook, Ethan Phillips and William J. Birnes
Some genuinely great recipes, many volunteered from the cast and crew themselves, and doctored up to sound more Trekish. Jeri Ryan’s wild mushroom soup is one of my very favorite recipes ever now and I make it often.
A very pretty hardbound book which includes several novelizations of the most popular episodes of The Original Series, including “The Menagerie,” “A Taste of Armageddon,” “The City on the Edge of Forever,” and “The Trouble with Tribbles.”
Star Trek Academy: Collision Course, William Shatner
I’m a huge sucker for back stories. This novel shows us the backstory of how Kirk and Spock met and became friends at Starfleet Academy.
The Kobayashi Maru, Julia Ecklar
Back stories! Dreaded no-win scenarios! Sign me up.
Gulliver’s Fugitives, Keith Sharee
Alost Earth colony where imagination and freedom of thought are crimes. Pairs well with modern American politics…
Imzadi, Peter David
One of my all time favorite Trek novels ever OMG. Riker and Troi’s entire back story, and you know I love me a good back story! Plus, Peter David is considered one of the greats of Trek authors. His novels are universally funny, action packed, and always amazing.
The Death of Princes, John Peel
I’m also a sucker for books about diseases and plagues. This is disease and violations of the Prime Directive all in one book.
Fallen Heroes, Daffyd ab Hugh
The first DS9novel I ever read. It was action packed and sad and made me fall in love with the characters. This made me a DS9fan every bit as much as the show itself.
The Lives of Dax, ed. Marco Palmieri
I may have mentioned I’m a big fan of back stories? Yeah, this gives you ALL the back stories of Dax! What’s not to love?
A Stitch in Time, Andrew J. Robinson
Elim Garak. That is all I needed to know.
Pathways and Mosaic, Jeri Taylor
Back stories! Pathwaystells the stories of all of the Voyagercrew, and Mosaictells Captain Janeway’s story specifically.
Seven of Nine, Christie Golden
More back story, this time on the Borg drone who Capt. Janeway liberated from the Collective and who has since become one of my very favorite characters.
Death of a Neutron Star, Eric Kotani
I liked this book because it is written by a real scientist. Eric Kotani is the pseudonym for Yoji Kando, a Japanese astrophysicist.
Surak’s Soul, JM Dillard
I dig the Vulcans, their logic, and their stoicism, so any book about a Vulcan having an ethical or existential crisis really lights my fire.
Tales from the Captain’s Tableanthology, ed. by Keith R.A. DeCandido
Every star system has a bar called The Captain’s Table, where the first round is paid for with a story…
Tales of the Dominion War, Keith R.A. DeCandido
A short story collection that tells the tales of the various ways in which the Dominion War impacted all the characters we’ve come to know and love, and a few we can’t stand but want to know about anyway.
Strange New Worldsvolumes 1-10, plus the new one coming out for the 50th anniversary this year
These are great because fans get to write fanfiction and get published, for reals, and it’s so rad. Also, yours truly was selected to be included in the anthology for the 50th anniversary, so naturally I think that one is awesome!
