- I've read all of TNG books - Q-In-Law is definitely the best.
- I would recommend any of the Peter David books - expecially IMZADI, which
- is brilliant. But it is only out in hardback at the moment.
- Jean Lorrah (sp?) is also brilliant - read Survivors if you are a Tasha fan.
- I also recommend "A Rock and a Hard Place". Most of the latest TNG books
- aren't that good - you may be better off buying a few here and there.
- I've fallen into the trap of buying every TNG book that comes out - it is
- rather expensive!
