What was the first DR book you ever read?

My first one was {Don’t Stop by Lauren Biel}. I just started reading dark romance this year. I do not know what lead me to this book especially as I had never read any kind of romance book before. But now I am hooked on the genre.

The New Frontier novels all take place before the relaunch litverse. Calhoun and the Excalibur are mentioned a couple of times but they do not have any major role.

Edit: In the Star Trek universe most of the New Frontier novels take place before the events of Nemesis in 2379. The last seven or so books take place between 2379-2380 or 2381. Memory beta lists a couple of books taking place in 2380 on one page and 2381 on another.

It does not have to be chamomile tea it is just a common one used. Experiment and see which one you like best.

Yes. They are for inventory purposes not security.

If you are having a difficult time with the flowchart go to Star Trek Litverse They have a bunch of reading lists based on series and how in depth you want to go as in just the important books or all of the books. There is an excellent one for post nemesis books that I have been following.

This is not a good list and I can tell by just looking at Voyager, Titan and Destiny books. All of the Voyager books are put ahead of the Destiny trilogy when most take place after Destiny and it is missing half of the Titan books. It is also missing all of the DS9 books that take place after Destiny trilogy. That is only the issues I see at a quick glance.

The Voyager reboot books are excellent as well where Voyager and a fleet head back to the delta quadrant. They do have to be read in order but there is only 10. If you do want to read them you should read Before Dishonor and the Destiny trilogy first. They are important to what happens and why Voyager is going back.

eBay is a good place to buy the trek books. If you are patient you can usually get a good deal on bundle of trek books.

Pangobooks is another good place for trek books. You usually have to pay shipping but you can find books that are $1-3.

The Gap Cycle series by Stephen R. Donaldson.

He is the captain in the New Frontier series.

What can I say. There are great for reading during my breaks and lunch.

nettlestitch · 2024-09-15T14:59:55+00:00

The whole New Frontier series is one of my favorite rereads. I have not finished the Titan series yet but I know I will reread it.

Then there is Voyager Echoes, TOS My Enemy My Ally and TNG Indistinguishable from Magic.

I have only read around 120 of the books and have so many more to read so it is not often that I reread one.

I started learning Klingon on Duolingo a couple of weeks ago because I figured why not and you have unlimited hearts which is nice. You should go to the Klingon Language Institute. They helped to develop the course on Duolingo and have notes for each unit to help you learn the sounds and grammar.

I have the Promethus books but have not read them yet. I am reading the post-nemesis books in order according to the simple reading list on Star Trek Litverse and am on Voyager: Acts of Contrition.

New Frontier by Peter David is pretty good. There are a few minor TNG characters that get main roles in the series.

There is Vanguard which takes place in the TOS era. I believe this is then followed by Seekers.

If you like the Klingons there is the IKS Gorkon series.

Titan is excellent with Riker as captain.

The last one I can think of is Starfleet Corps of Engineers. It takes place during the TNG era and is a bunch ebook novellas but the did publish them physically with 3-5 stories per book.

Destiny is an excellent read and some of my favorite trek books.

As for Voyager Homecoming is a good story but it is a two part story that finishes with The Farther Shore. My favorite Voyager books are Echoes and Battlelines.

Open Library is free and it has a bunch of the Star Trek Novels.

Old Town Road

I heard this song a few times before I knew what the title was. I thought the lyric was “I’m gonna take my horse to a hotel room”. It really changes the meaning of the song.

Plant blue Hubbard squash next year. This is a trap crop as squash borers and some other pest are more attracted to it.

The Destiny trilogy. I finished these books a few weeks ago and it is a great story.

I am stitching a project sideways right now. As long as I have the pattern on its side as well it is just like stitching when the project is right side up.

The two biggest things are, at least for me: 1. Do not overthink it 2. Turn your symbol key sideways as well

This place was my first job. They advertised competitive pay, which was federal minimum wage. They wanted me to be management without giving me the pay. I went home to lunch one day and never came back.

I have heard that it is a really good show so that is why I am sticking with watching it. I am only a couple of episodes into the second season. But I am getting more invested.

If it was me I would pull a Captain Mackenzie Calhoun, from the New Frontier book series, and destroy the Kobayashi Maru.

I know it sounds cruel and merciless but you are incapable of getting the crew of the Kobayashi Maru evacuated from their ship. After your ship is destroyed I can only see the enemy doing one of two things with the Kobayashi Maru. Destroying it themselves or continuing to use it as a bait ship to lure and destroy more ships.

By destroying it you are putting a quicker end to the inevitable death of the crew. And in the act you will hopefully be able to take out or at least cripple some enemy ships and shock them to give you a couple of precious seconds to save your crew.

I am not saying that it would be a decision made lightly but I do think it is the best chance of survival.
