Anyone read the Star Trek Deep Space Nine Series 'Millennium'? I got them when they first came out, and seem to read them again and again. But I only just realised, how utterly fantastic they are! There are three; the first is more of a mystery novel and not too far from a DS9 episode to be honest.
The second book is set in the future, and is just great! It's like one of the 'reset episodes' (Like Yesterdays Enterprise or Twilight) where you want to know more about this terrible world and how it came to be, but instead of only seeing a bit before the 'reset', you find out many things. It's a dark future where most of the Klingon Empire is destroyed, and Cardassians are almost extinct. Starfleet is crumbling while trying to fight the Bajorans and their new evil allies and so desperate; there is even an alliance with the Borg…. All this because of the prophets and a war they're fighting. Throw in two wormholes and loads of cannon references – and you’ve got a good book.
And the last book is quite special too. It’s a kind of, ensemble cast type thing. The crew get back to on to DS9 and find it ‘flicking’ through time, from the day of the Cardassian withdrawal to other points. And all the unanswered questions from the first book are solved too!

Really is a fantastic series!
