Best Book Series

Which series do you think puts out the best books? I know alot of writers write for all series, but some series, IMO, are better in book than they were on TV.

At the moment? DS9. The DS9 relaunch is the only series that has had *consistently* excellent books. Well, the first two MGs were kinda slow, but still good.

You left out SCE (Starfleet Corps of Engineers), BTW. There are only two paperback compilations out, but there's something like 20 or so ebooks by now.

You also left out Star Trek: Challenger, but that's OK, because there are only two books in the series so far, and only one of them is called "Star Trek: Challenger" (the other is New Earth #6: Challenger).

Then, of course, there's the upcoming Star Trek: IKS Gorkon series, but that's not out yet. There are, however, two books which fall into its continuity even if they don't bear the title explicitly: TNG: "Diplomatic Implausibility" and ST: "The Brave and the Bold book 2".

EDIT: OH! I nearly forgot Star Trek: Stargazer. There are three books in that series so far; the first one is "The Valient", and then the ST: SGZ label begins with "Gauntlet" and then "Chainmail". I was sufficiently unimpressed with "Gauntlet" that I haven't read "Chainmail" yet.

^LOL, perhaps you'd better edit my poll then,

Well, since you asked....

It was like a three way tie for me... but I had to go for TNG. Rogue was really good, as was erm.... The TNG Gateways one, I forget the name.

But a lot of the DS9 books I've read are really good and VOY ones too, but I figured TNG wouldn't get many votes.

hmm I haven't read all of these series of books but right now the Ds9 Avatar (Relaunchs) get my Vote but they better have a good storyline for Sisko's ressurection

I thought Avatar was pretty good although I like the Enterprise books at the moment. Although there's not many out, I liked What Price Honor and Surak's Soul was quite good despite being too short.

Lindley · **Thu Jun 05, 2003 10:09 am**

I was able to figure out the ending of What Price Honor on page 50....it wasn't bad, but it was just really simple. No complexity to it.

I liked what price honor a lot...I thought it was sad.

And Surak's Soul was good, too. I like the ENT books even better than the episodes.

I'm not a fan of the DS9's though.

I like Stargazer the best. It's kind of cool to learn about Picard's past, and his first command.

The Delta Flyer · **Tue Jul 01, 2003 11:39 am**

I've only read one of the Stargazer books and didn't like it all that much. All the characters with the exception of Picard seemed a little 2-dimensional IMO.
