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:

Star Trek Voyager: Naomi Wildman und Captain Janeway

So war das 1999 bei #StarTrekVoyager: Naomi hat einen Plan zur Rettung ihrer Freundin Seven und trägt ihn Captain #Janeway vor. Erinnert ein bisschen an #StarTrekProdigy, stammt aber aus »Das ungewisse Dunkel«. In der deutschen Fassung sind Jill Böttcher und Gertie Honeck zu hören. Eine wunderbare Szene, die auch das neue Hörbuch »Die Autobiografie von Kathryn Janeway« prägt. Hörbuch-Premiere am 6./7. Juli auf der German Film Comic Con in Anwesenheit von Gertie Honeck. Vorbestellungen direkt beim Verlag in Farbe und Bunt unter https://www.ifubshop.com/h%C3%B6rb%C3%BCcher/star-trek-voyager-die-autobiografie-von-kathryn-janeway/
