Articles of the Federation was indeed a great book. The Full Circle books are all very good as well.

i'm looking forward to Full Circle (actually the whole 'series') also now i have more TBR that I'm really looking forward to!! thanks so much! 🖖🏻

Can Star Trek Takedown be read as a starting point into the Star Trek universe?

Brilliant, Jonathan! Thank you. I actually just bought Book 1 of Prey because of your recent series ranking. You always give me great recommendations. Thank you!

Can i read the full circle book if i haven't read the spirit walk books?

Just started some of Greg Cox' stuff, which is great

awesome vid! Have never read star trek but seems absolutely fascinating. Would you do an updated counterpart of a top 10 star wars canon/ legends standalone list, with the honourable mentions too?

Your thumbnails....would you get a Dagwood eating a sandwich reference?

Thanks for the video, Jonathan. I've added several to my wishlist.

I would not consider any book from the now closed Lit-verse a standalone - they all relied on the overall continuity way too much. Also, Before Dishonor was a turd.

Read a few of those, good reads. My favorite is Ashes of Eden with a close second of Prime Directive.

Let´s F*ucking Gooo!!!!

This video made me smile when I saw the book because I got a sign autograph from him at New York Comic con 2024 on Saturday, and I spoke to him about the book and Legends books, too.

These Grand Tour videos inspired me to pick up his short story collection "My Favorites" this weekend from B&N!

nice tan haha.. i'm excited to read some Ben Bova for sure...thanks for your excellent reviews!

Hii please which book i can read after season2 ?

I finally had a chance to watch this and you did a great job interviewing, Jonathan. John Jackson Miller is absolutely a writer that deserves more widespread attention, and I was very happy to hear him talk about his work.

I personally love the FH Hexalogy. I will says that his writing style was definitely a learning curve for me which forced me to re-read pages or even chapters sometimes. With that being said, his ability to convey philosophical/political ideas, introduce great characters, build a world to an insane degree, and make you challenge existing beliefs was what kept me hooked. Currently on Chapterhouse but my favorite out of all of them has to be Heretics of Dune. What allowed me to keep reading with an open mind after Messiah was coming to the conclusion that this is no longer a Paul story. I definitely want to checkout the sequels FH’s son wrote as there’s SO many layers within this universe!

what about Typhon Pact--that one I thought Had the most potential...the Borg attack the federation and dealing with a devasting aftermath, where the federation is stretched thin...

Bro im not a avid reader of books in general but came across a audiobook called swallowed star been listening to it on youtube absoloutely would like to know if you have ever read it

Great video and GREAT choices!

Thanks for the review! Will you do a review on Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss soon?

I love this book so much!

Can't wait to read this book myself because Reath is one of my favourite HR Characters. Did you saw the new cover reveals for some HR & Acolyte books ?

Nice thumbnail! 😅

Love the clone wars style stories ❤

I really enjoyed the first 3 books of the Sword of Truth - I need to re-read them. Thanks for the reminder. You should read the Gap Cycle 5-book series by Stephen R. Donaldson - it's a space opera with horror and grimdark. Book 1 is the weakest, but it really takes after that. I need to re-read that series too.

IDK why but I only enjoy reading at night

❤❤❤

Cool. Recluce saga is very good, but I have only read up to Mag'i of Cyador. Taking an extended break. Currently reading The Runelords, at least the first 4 books. On book 1 right now.

Jonathan I may have asked before, I can't remember. But have u ever considered reading Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

These are some great series! I’ve been considering starting some of L. E. Modesitt’s books for a while. Maybe I might have to get to that in 2025 too. I’ve been focusing on catching up with Stormlight. (Which btw, you were right, Brandon Sanderson is awesome. I know the video I’m referring to of yours is like a year or two old, but thanks for the recommendation on that. It’s been an awesome series.)

This was great! Keep making these!

Are these editions only available through the kickstarter?

Did I see a 2nd & Charles sticker? I love shopping there!

Congrats on 7 thousands Subs you deserve it all, your kind of content is so refreshing and pure, I think it is so great that you can share what you love and that so many people are being drawn to you because of your passion. Keep it up and i hope more people find your channel.

I'm so excited for these special editions! Thank you so much for showing it off <3

This was my favourite out of all the republic commando books i've read. (I haven't read imperial 501st yet) Do more Star Wars EU book reviews please!!

This is awesome I love the bestiary

Check out the kickstarter for the Faux-Leather Edition of the Frith Chronicles Here: kickstarter.com/projects/authorshamistovall/special-bestiary-edition-of-the-frith-chronicles-books-3-4

i love your channel! 📚📕📖

Can't wait until you're caught up so we can talk Dresden Files.

The "Errand of Vengance" was pretty good. But my favorite series is "Crucible".

I’m looking to finally start Dresden Files. Not a huge fan of first person narratives but willing to give it a shot.

Are there any star trek book series that have nothing to do with characters from the shows? I'd like to read something about a new ship and crew.

Are you going to read any of the Honorverse books? They're books that are set in the Honor Harrington Universe, though they don't entirely focus on her.

Any thoughts on immortal coil and the other books associated with it? Its a pseudo trilogy

I will mention a couple series that I highly esteem: 1. The DS9: Millennium trilogy by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens 2. Department of Temporal Investigations by Christopher L. Bennett If you liked Enterprise, Rise of the Federation by Christopher L. Bennett is a great continuation for that era.
