Order of Star Trek Books
Star Trek is science fiction franchise covering several different mediums created by American screenwriter and producer Gene Roddenberry. Star Trek began in 1966 with Star Trek: The Original Series (a retronym), followed by several movies and television series – most notably Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. The series is well known for its intricate mythology, including spawning its very own legitimate language, Klingon. The Star Trek novels were mostly written to accompany the various television series and movies, thereby enriching the mythos even more.
The first Star Trek novels were direct novelizations of the original Star Trek episodes by James Blish, running from 1967-1978. Along with the various Star Trek novel series there have also been dozens of authors who have contributed to the franchise, including (but not limited to) Roddenberry himself, G. Harry Stine (as Lee Correy), A.C. Crispin, Diane Duane, J.M. Dillard, Vonda N. McIntyre, Michael Jan Friedman, Peter David, Diane Carey, David R. George III, Greg Cox and many others.

If You Like Star Trek Books, You’ll Love…
I just discovered Star Trek books. I’m particularly interested in those written by Peter David. Does anyone know where I can get a list of his Star Trek books and should they be read in order?
Good evening, looking at your order for the Titan Series, it seems to be missing Absent Enemies published in 2014
Thanks. The whole section needs an update.
