Not sure if you’re familiar with this chart thetrekcollective.com/…/trek-lit-reading-order.ht…
DS9 Millennium (3 books) is good. Like a future what if end is the universe thing.
New Frontier series (at least 6) is a fun read. Follows after titan era. Not too serious, and some new characters in the fringes of federation space.
An older crossover, Invasion (4 books) is a story told through tos, tng, DS9 and voy. Was fun to see all the familiar characters dealing with the same overall problem.
The fall (5) was good. I was looking for something random and stayed at a recommended spot on the chart. I do feel like I missed a bit that they kept summing up. Probably better to start with the borg invasion of you don’t want to drop like you got plopped into like season 3 of something.
The buried age was fun, Picard as captain of the stargazer more or less gathering the tng crew.
Can’t beat an old TOS random paperback sometimes. Those can be so wacky.
Hope that helps

Bought that trilogy and will read it after ST: Destiny
That one was also recommended. It’s in the wish list, but I gotta figure out the reading order and buy them in order.
I didn’t even see those when I was looking, but will search for them directly.
Also on the wish list :)
Will check it out.
Thanks for the suggestions, and nice stack/collection! One of the drawbacks of ebooks is they’re not great for showing off or filling up a bookcase lol.

The Fall is a multibook ‘event’ in the Relaunch novelverse with each book by a different one of the regular authors.
It comes after Destiny and the Typhon Pact series of books.
While I like most of the books in all of these, there’s one author David R. George III whose books I find unbearably dull. He clearly knew his canon cold but his books are long on excessively detailed exposition, and short on dialogue or action. By the time I got to The Fall, I had learned to skip his books and just count on the recaps provided by the other authors.

For invasion, they’re randomly sprinkled in each series run. Quick Google search shows there’s a collected edition.
Enjoy your reading :D
