Didn't realize there were so many. Though, I guess I should have considering how many Star Wars novels I see at the bookstore.

A few people I know who do read Star Wars agree that Star Wars is a bit stagnant. All it is is "How can we get the Jedi in trouble yet again?"

Star Trek is moving forward and that's good.

But yes, there are a lot of Star Trek books. And I do think they get the shaft at most book stores.

I listened to an audio Star Trek book once and it was wonderful with great sound effects and music! I'll have to try a book now...

I liked the Timothy Zahn trilogy and the Keven J. Anderson books but after a certain point they just kept releasing even more books! and they weren't nearly as interesting and my tastes in fiction weren't so picky back when I was 16 and 17 either.

Star Trek has a wide cast of interesting characters and potential stories. it's kind of like stargate in that regard.

And Star Trek has even branched out to new series with characters not seen in the TV series. The potiential is there for you to find something you will like.

I also recommend the entire Vanguard series as it takes place in the TOS timeline but is all new. The first one does have a cameo of the Enterprise, but the others do not.

Harbinger (Vanguard #1)
Summon the Thunder (Vanguard #2)
Reap the Whirlwind (Vanguard #3)
Open Secrets (Vanguard #4)

Yes, I like the New Frontier ones. They are all written by Peter David so they are very consistent in quality and story line.

I'm up to #9 in the NF series. Too much else to read to get back to it yet. I plan to in August read #9. #9 is Excaliber: Requiem.

Are there any "non-fiction" Star Trek eBooks?

Like "The Klingon Way" or "The Legends of the Ferengi" or "The Star Trek Encyclopedia" or similar stuff?

I'm yet to find anything like that, but I'd be far more interested in it than the stuff that is available.

I've found "Legends of the Ferengi" on Fictionwise.com and "Ferengi Rules of Acquisition", The Klingon Hamlet, and "The Starfleet Survival Guide" on Simon & Schuster's own website.

Has anybody here ever had success with personally requested titles to be made available as eBooks from a publisher as large as Simon & Schuster?
