Set during The Original Series, this week’s Trek book is fairly run of the mill and doesn’t do anything exceptional with our characters, but it makes for what would feel like a fairly solid two-part episode. The Enterprise is pursuing a pirate through uncharted space, and when it enters the atmosphere of a planet known,…

Star Trek: Ice Trap (1992) – L.A. Graf
There are times. Not often, but every now and then, that despite my love for the subject matter, I can’t get into a book. This is what happened with my latest foray in to the Star Trek novels. I loved the sound of it, I’m enjoying my time with Kirk and company as I go…
Star Trek: The Kelvin Timeline (2009 – 2016)
Space… There was a lot of it between the end of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005 and the next Human Adventure. For the first time since 1987, there were no Star Trek series or films in production. It was strange for a number of fans, though a large percentage of them realised that it was…
Star Trek: The Disinherited (1992) – Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman, and Robert Greenberger
The Human Adventure continues as I delve into another Star Trek novel, and revel in the storytelling that actually feels like an episode (or several) of The Original Series. Set during the original five year mission, the three authors work to craft a tale that works as a cohesive whole while giving us separate story…
Star Trek: Prime Directive (1990) – Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens
The Human Adventure continues on my book shelf this week as I delve into another Trek novel. This one is written by the Reeves-Stevens who would later move onto writing for the Enterprise series. Set during The Original Series and the original five year mission, the story opens after a very dramatic event, and we…
Star Trek: The Kobayashi Maru (1989) – Julia Ecklar
With a framing story set after the events of The Motion Picture, but with the uniforms introduced in The Wrath of Khan, so sometime during the second big mission, The Kobayashi Maru is more a collection of short stories as each member in a damaged shuttle tells a tale of their encounter with the famous…
Star Trek: The Three Minute Universe (1988) – Barbara Paul
Space, the final frontier… I dug into another Trek novel this week, hey, there’s a lot of them, so they’ll probably be appearing on here fairly regular, I haven’t read this one since it first came out in ’88, and I don’t remember being a big fan of it when I first joined Captain Kirk…
Star Trek: Bloodthirst (1987) – J.M. Dillard
Captain James T. Kirk and the stalwart crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise take on a Trek-verse version of the vampire legend in this novel written by J.M Dillard. Set during the third season of The Original Series the Enterprise responds to a distress call from the remote Federation outpost of Tanis. What they discover is…
Star Trek: Deep Domain (1987) – Howard Weinstein
It’s time to delve into strange new worlds, and new civilisations again as I boldly go venturing into the next novel in the Pocket Book Star Trek series. Set between the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the novel has a bit of an ecological theme,…
Star Trek: Enterprise – The First Adventure (1986) – Vonda N. McIntyre
Long before the 2009 reboot author Vonda N. McIntyre penned this non-canon telling of the first adventure of Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scott Sulu and Chekov as they are united for the first time aboard the Enterprise. James Kirk has just been given command of the Federation flagship, and is looking forward to a…
