The Buried Age

The Buried Age is a Pocket TNG novel – which also forms part of The Lost Era series – written by Christopher L. Bennett. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in .
== Summary ==
;From the book jacket:
:Jean-Luc Picard. His name has gone down in legend as the captain of the and two starships Enterprise. But the nine years of his life leading up to the inaugural mission of the ™ to Farpoint Station have remained a mystery – until now, as Picard's lost era is finally unearthed
:Following the loss of the Stargazer and the brutal court martial that resulted, Picard no longer sees a future for himself in Starfleet. Turning to his other love, archeology, he embarks on a quest to rediscover a buried age of ancient galactic history… and awakens a living survivor of that era: a striking, mysterious woman frozen in time since before the rise of Earth's dinosaurs. But this powerful immortal has a secret of cataclysmic proportions, and her plans will take Picard – aided along the way by a brilliant but naive android, an insightful Betazoid, and an enigmatic El-Aurian – to the heights of passion, the depths of betrayal, and the farthest reaches of explored space.
== Memorable quotes ==
"We do not do what we do to be safe. We do it for the reasons spelled out by Zefram Cochrane centuries ago: to seek out new life, and to boldly go where none has gone before. To seek out new life, gentlebeings. Not to face it timidly with our defenses up, but to approach it with an attitude of openness, a willingness to trust. That means coming into their star systems with our defenses down, rather than appearing to them as a threat. That means staying our hand and trying to talk even when attacked. And it means seeing unknown others as potential allies who may simply be eager to learn, rather than mortal enemies who must be deprived of our technological secrets at all costs.
"It is true that this attitude contains risks. But that is the meaning of 'to boldly go.' We choose to take on those risks, because they are usually justified by the rewards. Offering trust always carries the risk of betrayal," T'Lara said, meeting Picard's eyes briefly, "but is the only way to earn trust."

The Children of Kings

The Children of Kings is a Pocket TOS novel written by Dave Stern. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in .
The novel features Christopher Pike, and is set during his command of the . The Orion Syndicate, Number One, and Spock also feature.
== Summary ==
;From the book jacket
:A distress call goes out from a Federation outpost near the Klingon border. The , under the command of Captain Christopher Pike, responds. Starbase 18 lies in ruin. There are no survivors. And there is no clue as to who is responsible for the attack, until Captain Pike's brilliant science officer discovers a means of retrieving parts of the station's log. Lieutenant Spock has detected signs of a unique energy signature, one that he believes is Klingon. There are unsubstantiated reports that the Klingon Empire has made a technological leap forward and created a cloaking device – code-named Black Snow Seven – that can shield their ships from even the most advanced sensors. The destruction of the base and the unique energy signature that remains prove that the Empire has succeeded.
:For generations the Orions have been known as pirates, operating at the margins, outside of legal conventions. A proud and powerful race, the Orions were once a major force in the sector, and they have been using the tension between the Klingon Empire and the Federation to rebuild their power. Captain Pike is charged with trying to foster cooperation between the Orions and the Federation. A distress call from an Orion vessel offers him the perfect opportunity. But the Orion ship lies in disputed space long claimed by the Klingon Empire, and crossing it could be the spark that sets off an interstellar war.

* In an Author's Note at the end of the book, David Stern states that he was inspired to write this story after seeing 2009's and sees the book as a prequel to that film.
