That was a very insightful, informative post, IR2, and thank you for taking the time to write that all for me. Which makes me all the more embarrassed to say, I already knew that. DS9 is my favourite Star Trek show! But I didn't know about the Borg War. Did that happen in the films, like First Contact?

Star Trek Destiny is the one the Borg evolve- they had already been huge villians in 4 books prior. Janeway ends up becoming a Borg Queen even. _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

Okay, so I actually couldn't remember how it was spelled and had to look it up, too, so I can't talk! But that's interesting. I had no idea they got their own continuity after that! That's always put me off those books, but now....? No! I must resist! Tell me, what's happening to the books, written before the reboot? Are they given canon status or are they like our infinities?

Life Is The Path wrote: Tell me, what's happening to the books, written before the reboot? Are they given canon status or are they like our infinities? But thanks for the update! The errors between books are considered alternate timelines. some are very close to the main, or where timeloops later correct- or so goes the retcons But for before they either exist till a conflict, or are out of universe, the story follows closest to the events laid out in the TV shows ST, TNG, DS9, ST:V and the movies, Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, Nemesis- and picked up from there. But The Borg ones I read and enjoyed a lot were Engines of Destiny Resistence Before Dishonor, Greater then the Sum. (ALL OF THESE STORIES AFTER THE "RELAUNCH ROCK!!) But I'm missing book 2 of Destiny and have thus only sparsely glanced it over a few times, but ready up on the plot when I learned what happened to the Borg, then read through the end of book 3. And from there things get snore fest.... Hence the reboot film instead of a movie picking up from the TNG relaunch (that which follows the events from the TV chronology and last movie chronology Nemesis) _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.

This the book you're missing? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Destiny-Mere-Mortals-Star-Trek/dp/1416551727/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290505271&sr=8-1 Yes, I'm throwing temptation your way again. *Laughs maniacally* But anyway. Those classifications of the older books kind of sound like their version of our S-Canon. That makes sense, I suppose, and with the alternate timeline thing it at least has it in-keeping with Star Trek tradition, and since they're capable of crossing over from different timelines and realities it's not in the realm of impossible to keep it all together. Not bad. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him.

I've managed to get all my Trek books either from my Dad (inheriting his collection which rivals my SW one ) Or at a used books store, I was able to score 4 for $4 last time, unfortunately #2 wasn't there that day ;( _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush.
