I haven't been reading Trek like I used to... I have a few dozen books, but I think I got burned out on it... the last one I read just didn't really hit me.
Of course, all the Trek I have is TOS, and I've never ventured into any of the other series (I hit burnout before then). The TOS books have largely been too 2-dimensional to me, which is funny considering the amount of background and detail there is in those characters by now. (Best exception IMO: Prime Directive.)
Not to mention the fact that the last book I read fell into that hole of writing as if it is in a competition to make as many arcane references to the original episodes as humanly possible. After awhile, that gets mighty tiring.
Actually, I didn't say all that to beat on Trek... it was to ask for recommendations on Trek e-books that do not fit the issues mentioned above. And I'm not particularly interested in action in terms of battles and space warfare, but in discovery and personal challenge. Suggestions?
