> [@Quimby](#): > > I am reading Star Trek Coda Book 1. The first book of a new trilogy. The last twenty years of Star Trek novels have basically had this long interconnected continuity (with some exceptions) where all the characters you know have changed and grown in their lives and new crews have been added. But now that the shows are exploring those characters they decided to give this Novelverse a grand finale and this is the first book. If you are familiar with Star Trek novels but have lapsed you may want to jump on board for this. It is pretty good so far. Ah, thanks. I know you posted here, **Quimby** , as I did, but others here might want to check out this thread, too: [Favorite Star Trek Books?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-star-trek-books/559798) > [@Catamount](#): > > … > 3. Read the first five pages of [All the King’s Men](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5527.All_the_King_s_Men) by Robert Penn Warren and closed it firmly. It’s mid-20th century white male literature, a genre I loathe. Also I hate the Penn Warren’s writing style… I listened to an audiobook of _ATKM_ a few year ago (read by Michael Emerson of _The Practice, Evil, Lost_ and _Person of Interest_ fame) and mostly liked it, but it’s certainly not for everybody. The book is also, I thought, far, far better than the movie. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/khadaji-s-whatcha-reading-thread-october-2021-edition/951764)._
