Trekommendations | A Star Trek Recommendation podcast

Star Trek: Enterprise may have ended on TV… but the story certainly didn’t.
For Trekcommendations Episode 49, I’m joined by Nat (@scruffyspaceelf), and her recommendation takes us beyond These Are the Voyages… and into the Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch novels.
These books pick up the story of Archer and the Enterprise crew, exploring the events and conflicts we never got to see on screen — including the build-up to the Romulan War and the continuing journey towards the birth of the Federation.
Nat explains why she thinks the Relaunch series gives Enterprise fans something much closer to the continuation — and finale — the show deserved.
And, as always with Trekcommendations, the recommendation is only part of the fun. Expect plenty of Star Trek tangents, opinions, laughs and general Trek nonsense along the way.
🖖 If you were disappointed by the Enterprise finale, are the Relaunch novels worth giving a try?

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.

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.

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.
