Not sure where to begin your reading adventure? Here are some suggested starting points for you: If you want to get straight into the modern prose continuity the Destiny crossover trilogy is a great place to jump in, leading to stories from several series set after it. One step back from Destiny is Articles of the Federation, which is the perfect introduction to the world of Federation politics which becomes prominent in Destiny and beyond. DS9 was the first series to enjoy a post-TV relaunch; the main new DS9 adventures start from Avatar. If you'd prefer to jump ahead to the more recent DS9 stories they have a good jumping on point comes after Destiny, in Rough Beasts of Empire. The ongoing TNG narrative really starts from the A Time to... series, but you could jump on from the first book set after Nemesis, Death in Winter. The other branch of TNG, Titan, gets going from Taking Wing. Voyager's first post-Endgame stories start from Homecoming, but the series got something of a second start later with Full Circle. Enterprise's post finale adventures begin from The Good That Men Do. This series also has secondary relaunch with the post Romulan War era in A Choice of Futures. While there isn't such a solid ongoing narrative for TOS, 23rd century fans can start Vanguard from Harbinger. There is also a small run of TOS stories set after The Motion Picture, those start from Ex Machina. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Unique Geek" group.
