We have TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, Vanguard, SCE/CoE, Titan, & New Frontier for book series.

Vanguard is a series that takes place during the TOS time but not featuring the TOS cast. It mostly takes place abord space station Vanguard.

Titan is Captain Riker's ship Titan and he's now married to Deanna.

SCE/CoE is an eBook series that is also being reprinted in omnibus form. It is Starfleet Corps of Engineers/Corps of Engineers. It's about a ship of Engineers. Quite good actually and the stories are short to medium and that makes them an easy read if you just want something not novel length.

New Frontier was created by Peter David and takes place in the TNG time. It's a new crew and quite interesting.

The question is which trek series do you like? There are lots of places to actually start. So knowing what you like can really help figure out where to start.

For the TOS, I'll give you something I just finished reading recently that I thought was quite good.

My Brother's Keeper · Michael Jan Friedman
Republic
Constitution
Enterprise

These take place before the first Episode of TOS and features Gary Mitchell from Academy days up to the first episode.

If you want to get them fairly cheap, you can get all three for $7.49 from Cyberread since their 50% off code of THKU08 is still active.
