    Star Trek Double Helix – When a Virus Brings Everyone Together. Scott from @starfleet.archives

    What happens when a mysterious virus threatens the Federation and the solution spans six interconnected novels? This week on Trekommendations, I'm joined by Scott from @starfleet.archives, who shines a spotlight on one of Star Trek's most ambitious literary projects: Star Trek: Double Helix. We explore why this crossover series deserves far more attention, how it brings together characters from across the Star Trek universe, and why its central mystery keeps readers turning pages from beginning to end. Scott explains what makes the series so special, who it's perfect for, and why it remains one of his favourite Trek recommendations. As always, though, the recommendation is only part of the fun. We also go off on plenty of entertaining Star Trek tangents, chat about collecting, fandom, favourite stories, and celebrate everything we love about the Final Frontier. If you're looking for your next Star Trek read—or you've somehow missed Double Helix—this episode might just convince you to add all six books to your reading list. 🖖 Guest: Scott (@starfleet.archives)📚 Trekommendation: Star Trek: Double Helix🎙️ Podcast: Trekommendations What's your favourite Star Trek book series?

    The Enterprise Flight Suit | Is It Star Trek's Most Wearable Uniform? Ep 47 Synthgirl Starlight

    Can a Star Trek uniform actually be comfortable enough to wear all day... or even sleep in? In Episode 47 of Trekommendations, I'm joined by Synthgirl Starlight, who doesn't recommend a book, comic or episode this time—instead, she's shining a spotlight on one of the most practical pieces of Star Trek costuming ever made: the Enterprise NX-01 Flight Suit. We chat about why this iconic jumpsuit stands out from Star Trek's many uniforms, what makes it so comfortable, and why it's become a favourite for fans, cosplayers and collectors alike. Whether you're wearing it to a convention or lounging at home, this might just be the most wearable uniform in the franchise. As always, the recommendation is just the beginning. Expect plenty of fun Star Trek tangents, laughs, and passionate Trek conversation along the way. What's your favourite Star Trek uniform?

    Episode 46 – A Dark DS9 Tale | Murtaza Taz Recommends Deep Space Nine: Fallen Heroes

    How dark should a Star Trek story get? This week on Trekommendations, I'm joined by Murtaza "Taz" from @geektastic.trek, who shines a light on one of the earliest—and darkest—Deep Space Nine novels: Fallen Heroes by Dafydd ab Hugh. If you love DS9's grittier side, this novel delivers mystery, suspense, and high stakes while capturing the atmosphere that would later make the series so beloved. Taz explains why this underrated book deserves far more attention from Star Trek fans. As always, we don't jump straight into the recommendation. Expect plenty of entertaining Star Trek tangents, laughs, and passionate Trek discussion before we dive into the book itself. 🖖 Have you read Fallen Heroes? Let us know where it ranks among your favourite DS9 novels in the comments! #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #DS9 #StarTrekBooks #FallenHeroes #Trekkie #BookRecommendation #GeektasticTrek #Trekommendations #SciFiBooks

    Don't Just Read One Book. Follow This Star Trek Author EP 44 Guest: Cardboard Colin

    Don't Just Read One Book... Follow This Star Trek Author EP 44 Guest: Cardboard Colin (Colin Coughtrey – @cardboard_colin) Most guests on Trekommendations recommend a single piece of Star Trek media. This week, Cardboard Colin does something completely different. Instead of recommending one novel, he recommends an author: Peter David. From Imzadi and Q-in-Law to Vendetta, New Frontier, and countless other unforgettable stories, Peter David has shaped Star Trek literature for decades. Colin explains why, if you enjoy one Peter David novel, you're almost guaranteed to enjoy the next. But before we even get to the recommendation... ...we disappear down plenty of wonderfully entertaining Star Trek rabbit holes. From collecting and conventions to favourite characters, stories, books, and everything in between, this episode is exactly what Trekommendations is all about: two fans having a genuine conversation that could have gone on for hours. Then we dive into why Peter David remains one of the most influential—and beloved—Star Trek authors of all time. 📚 Why Peter David is more than just another Star Trek novelist 🖖 Where newcomers should start with his books 🚀 Why New Frontier remains one of Trek's most ambitious literary series ✨ The stories that made Colin fall in love with Peter David's writing 🎙️ Plenty of fun Star Trek tangents before we even reach the recommendation! Whether you've never read a Star Trek novel or you've got shelves full of them, this episode might just introduce you to your next favourite author. What's your favourite Peter David Star Trek novel? Or if you're introducing someone to his work for the first time, which book would you hand them? 📺 Watch more Trekommendations episodes:Instagram • TikTok • X: @Trekommendations 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek #PeterDavid #StarTrekBooks #Imzadi #NewFrontier #Vendetta #QInLaw #Trekkie #SciFi #Trekommendations In this episode:💬 We'd love to hear from you!

    Star Trek LEGO: More Than Just A Collectible Guest: VHS Jase (@vhs_jase)

    This week on Trekommendations, we're joined by VHS Jase to discuss a recommendation that's a little different from our usual books, films, and TV episodes: Star Trek LEGO. For Jase, building LEGO isn't just about creating an impressive display piece—it's about slowing down, switching off from the stresses of everyday life, and taking some much-needed time for yourself. Using the incredible LEGO USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D as an example, we discuss why building sets like these can be a relaxing, rewarding, and surprisingly therapeutic hobby. We discuss: 🧱 Why LEGO can be the perfect mental escape 🚀 The appeal of Star Trek LEGO for fans of the franchise 🖖 How building brick by brick helps you slow down and focus 😌 The benefits of having a hobby that's purely for enjoyment 🌟 Why the Enterprise-D set is one of the most exciting Star Trek collectibles ever released 🐱 And yes... they even included Spot the cat! Whether you're a lifelong LEGO builder, a dedicated Trek collector, or simply looking for a healthier way to unwind after a stressful day, this episode might inspire your next hobby. 💬 Have you built any Star Trek LEGO sets? And if LEGO made another Star Trek set tomorrow, what would you want it to be? 📱 Follow Trekommendations:Instagram / TikTok / X: @Trekommendations 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. #StarTrek #LEGO #StarTrekLEGO #USSEnterpriseD #Trekkie #SciFi #MentalHealth #Hobbies #Trekommendations
