Where to start with Jeffrey Lang

Begin with The Body Electric: Cold Equations Book III, the first book in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series published in 1987. This novel marks the start of the series' publication order and serves as a foundational entry in the expansive Star Trek: The Next Generation canon. Proceed through the series in publication order, which follows the chronological sequence of book releases. The Star Trek: The Next Generation series spans multiple story arcs and features a variety of characters and plotlines across its 106 books. For a different narrative experience, consider the standalone work Star Trek Voyager - String Theory - Cohesion, the first book in the String Theory series, published in 2005. It is a self-contained story within the Star Trek universe, distinct from the main series. Both works are part of the catalog and offer entry points into Jeffrey Lang’s contributions to the Star Trek literary canon.
