I have been playing STO for a few weeks now.
Love the game. Its my first experience with online gaming.

Does anyone have any recommendations for which Startrek books might be a good read. I am looking for books that go along with the STO timeline and history.

There's a STO book called "The Needs of the Many". I haven't read it, though.

Peter David's "New Frontier" series is great.

I highly recommend the Vanguard series of TOS stories. Incredible characterizations and plausible political conflicts overlapping the events of Kirk's original five-year mission.

I recommend the Destiny Series by David Mack, it is based on all three late TV episodes. It ties in Enterprise, TNG, DSP, and Voyager(not as much).

I second this recommendation, and I'm even rereading through it atm.

I've read through this a several years ago. I thought it was interesting, especially given the format it was set up in.

One of my favorite mini-series of books is the 6-part New Earth set within the TOS line of books.

I third this recommendation. The series ended with me really wanting more!! plus pocket books really made it hard to jump into the current TNG/DS9/VOY timeline because they are just sooo interconnected now with the exception of the new frontier series.

However if you want to make a start in the current timeline I would advise either Star trek Titan "Taking wing" or Star Trek "Articles of the Federation" you will be lost for some of it but memory beta is your friend there.

A must read stand alone novel is "Cast No Shadow" set after Star Trek 6

Stay away from the Star Trek Enterprise novels they could have been great but bad writing just ruined them
