I just had a thought: I do not expect any 60 year anniversary film or episode at all, sadly. But what if there was a big book thing (novels, but also comics) coming? Like, oh my, that would be fantastic, wouldn‘t it!

I just finished James Swallow's SNW novel "Toward the Night" and the epilogue had me cry a little. Loved it!

Day 26 – Trek Book (fiction or non-fiction)
I've been looking forward to this prompt. I want all your book recommendations!
So... which one to choose? There are so many.
Here are just a very few of my personal highlights:
Fiction:
📘 "Articles of the Federation" by Keith R. A. DeCandido. -- a unique book as it is a novel about politics and procedures in the Presidential Palace in Paris. I could read a whole series of that. Or watch one. I'd be happy with a mini series.
📚 "Destiny" trilogy by David Mack. -- I had read a few spoilers a while ago and really did not want to read these books. I was upset about the big reveal. But I kept hearing about how great they are and so I finally did read them. I am so glad I did. It's fantastic! It's dramatic and heartbreaking. I cried several times. And I am still upset. LOL Good books do that.
Non-fiction:
📖 "Star Trek: Open a Channel: A Woman's Trek" by Nana Visitor. -- I have not read far into it yet, but I don't think I am wrong when I say that this is probably the most important non-fiction book about Star Trek.
📓 "The Making of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". -- One of the first Trek books I ever bought. I love making of books, they are always so very intersting. And this is no exception. (I never liked the translation though and would love to have an English version.)
Shoutout to all the other books, fiction and non-fiction alike.
(I deleted the "Fave" in the prompt, because I just want to pick "one" of many great ones.)

Edit: Taken!
I have a book to give away: The IDIC Epidemic by Jean Lorrah.
I found it in a local free book shelf and after having read it I want to pass it on.
Just send me a DM with your address and it‘s yours. First come, first served. I ship anywhere from Germany. No tracking.

The German audiobook of "The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway" is narrated by both the voice actors who gave their voices to Captain Janeway and Naomi Wildman. How awesome is that!?
So, for German speaking people who haven't watched Voyager in German for a while and have fond memories, and for non-German speakers who would like to hear how the two sounded back then and how they sound now, here are two snippets:

My travel entertainment on my way home from my holidays: „Pliable Truths“ audiobook.
I realise that it‘s my Dayton Ward phase apparently, because I‘ve also been reading his „From History‘s Shadow“ this holiday. 😄

Star Trek: Destiny -- Book 3: Lost Souls ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It was another intense book, I am exhausted! Especially the stuff that happened on that "frozen ass" planet was hard for me to read. But also the invasion and battle scenes were emotional. I had tears in my eyes more than once. Everything comes together now, all threads find a satisfying conclusion. In a story that big, that is not necessarily a given. Mack nails it. I like Captain Hernandez. When I went into this trilogy I was not happy with how her original mission went. I thought she deserved better. But her story took quite a turn and I like it. Will we ever see her and the Caeliar again? I hope so! As for the big bad I will write more in another post, which will then be behind a CW for spoilers. I don't know how to write about it without giving anything away. All I will say here is that I loved the solution.
David Mack talked to Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson on Literary Treks about this book and the trilogy as a whole. As always, this is absolutely worth a listen. Alone for Mack talking about the techniques of story telling. Thumbs up!

TrekLit readers and experts, @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected],
I need your help: Is there such a thing as a cozy Trek novel?
Ok, "cozy" may not be the right word here. 🙃 I am currently in book 3 of the Destiny books, which are pretty intense. Great, but intense. I think I need a bit of a breather after that.
I really enjoyed "Shadows Have Offended", and while it was suspenseful, it was not very intense.
Do you know (from the top of your heads) any books that go more in that direction? No big battles, not billions of deaths, no intense situations, just a fun Trek story?
Thank you!

Star Trek: Destiny -- Book 2: Mere Mortals ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It took me a while to finish this for reasons that have nothing to do with the book. It's another fantastic action packed novel with quite some heartbreak too. I cried several times.
Again we follow the Enterprise E and the Aventine as they try to figure out how to stop the Borg from invading Federation space. There's a good space fight and also some face to face combat which was really good. We meet President Bacco a few times too, which I always love. I enjoy seeing all the different groups adding their part to solve this problem, as this is not something we get to see on screen a lot.
In the meantime the Titan is investigating the shelled planet they found while the away team down on the planet is facing some problems of their own, both within the team (WTF Dr. Ree??) and with the planet's inhabitants. On the ship there are some interpersonal problems to be solved as well, which I loved seeing. That gives a bit of a break form the rest of the story and shows that the crew are people with lives besides their duty. I'd love to see more of Tuvok.
In between we always go back in time to Captain Hernandez and her away team in Axion. I found that the isolation they face and feel among the Caeliar is palpable, and I never envied Hernandez as she needs to make difficult decisions. I can't wait to see how her role unfolds in the next book.
The end is one of those "OMG, how will they ever get out of this?!" situations. I can't wait to find out.

Positively Trek has a new book club episode out where Dan Gunther @[email protected] talks with Jessie Gender to @[email protected] about his latest Star Trek: Picard book "Firewall".
https://www.positivelytrek.com/book-club-seven-of-nine-knows-her-name/
I always love listening to Dan and Jessie talk books, especially with the author of that book. This conversation is no exception.
