Relaunch Novels?

[schattenstern]

I just started making a list of what to throw away and what to keep when I move house, and guess what I stumbled upon? The published fanfictions... excuse me, the "tie-in novels" of DS9 and Voyager I used to read as an internet-less teen. Awww. But anyway, to cut a long story short, I also remembered someone telling me about the "DS9 relaunch" books a couple years ago, a series of apparently connected stories taking place after the series finale.

"Oh," I said to myself, "That sounds actually interesting!" So I went on a research spree yesterday evening and figured out that by now, DS9 isn't the only series that has "relaunch" novels - VOY and TNG at least have them too, and apparently by now their continuities are all somewhat connected to each other and... completely original ships and crews created for book series only? And here I am, with a huge list of books and no idea where to start reading.

Any pointers? (Does anyone here even read these books? Are they worth reading or should I just stick to fanfic-on-the-net instead of professionally published fanfic? ^.~) I already have "A Stitch in Time" (and plan to read it soon; I remember reading the first fifty or so pages back when I bought it and liking them), mostly because Andrew Robinson wrote it about "his" character, but other than that, I'll gladly take any recs.

Yeah, I haven't either (and I tend to forget these things even exist most of the time. They usually don't seem all that compelling to me, but apparently, I'm more curious than I thought), but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. And it didn't! *g*
Anyway, thanks for the link; that looks really useful. <3
