If you had to make the events in one book cannon, which one would you choose?

None. While some of the stories in the book universe are cool, so many are bad and ruin things.

I would like to see something canon regarding Voyager after they got back. However, I don't think I want it to be Homecoming. I was definately disappointed with the nonchalant attitude everyone had about them getting back. I would like to have a Voyager sequel novel made canon.

Also, Dark Passions would be a good one. Those are two very good novels, and they wouldn't really affect any storyline were they made canon.

Voyager- it would have to be the Spirit Walk duology.

All the Voyager seasons 1, 2 and 3 books. They are excellent!
Especially "The Black Shore" by Greg Cox and "marooned" by Christie Golden.

I'd make the whole Deep Space Nine relaunch series cannon. They are amazing, as good as the actual show!

I think the only two books I really loved were Jeri Taylor�s Voyager set Mosaic and Pathways � but they are considered canon, and brought the series full circle for me.

I believe that the Dark Matters, as said above, the R'ihannsu series, and Nanotech War for Voyager are all deserving of canon. Also, I would say that although it seems that/like they are already, the Imzadi books *must* be considered/indoctrinated into canon.

Agreed. I'd also add in the "rihannsu" books.
Sorry, I fell in love with both Arrhae and Ael.
Plus the re-use of K's't'lk made me happy.
Gotta read "The Empty Chair". Very fascinating.
