Season six opens with SG-1 still trying to find a replacement for Daniel (Michael Shanks). Carter (Amanda Tapping) thinks that Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec) would be a suitable replacement.

Harcourt ‘Harry’ Fenton Mudd is back to cause trouble for Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise in Jerry Oltion’s Mudd In Your Eye, set during the original five-year mission, the tale ties into the previous Mudd episode, “I, Mudd” and arguably before (?) the animated series episode “Mudd’s Passion”. The Enterprise is requested…
Star Trek: The Captain’s Daughter (1995) – Peter David
Space, the final frontier… It’s been a while since I’ve read a classic Trek novel from Simon & Schuster, but like an old friend you just fall right back into conversation with, I dove wholeheartedly into the next novel in the series, The Captain’s Daughter, and enjoyed every minute of it. This was definitely an…
Star Trek: The Fearful Summons (1995) – Denny Martin Flinn
Space, the final frontier… I take up the journey with Kirk and company again this week, and was delighted in how most of The Fearful Summons read. It’s a fast read, and has the pacing of a screenplay, and even reading it, you can tell what things would be edited out of the film, or…
Star Trek: Traitor Winds (1994) – L.A. Graf
This week’s Trek novel takes us back to the The Lost Years, those years set between the end of the Enterprise’s original five year mission, and the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. While some of the crew are wandering around in their TOS uniforms, the new uniforms are present as well. This time…
Star Trek: Firestorm (1994) – L.A. Graf
Space, the final frontier… More voyages this week with the Enterprise, call numbers NCC-1701, in Firestorm, that sees the supporting characters, especially Uhura a chance to shine. Set after the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but after the new burgundy uniform jackets came into circulation. The Enterprise has come to the planet Rakatan,…
Star Trek: Windows on a Lost World (1993) – V.E. Mitchell
Space, the final frontier… Not all the voyages of the starship Enterprise are going to entertain me, sometimes they are going to miss the mark, and for me, this one definitely felt like it missed the mark. There’s some big sci-fi ideas in the story, but it doesn’t feel like it’s told in a Star…
Star Trek: The Starship Trap (1993) – Mel Gilden
Set during the original five year mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Mel Gilden’s Trek novel is one I really enjoyed. He totally has the characters down, and not only could I hear the characters in my head, I could see everything in my mind’s eye playing out like an episode. Captain Kirk is less than…
