Litverse novels 131

The Litverse is the continuity the Star Trek novels built after the shows ended. It began in 2001 with Avatar, which carried Deep Space Nine on past its finale, and grew to take in The Next Generation after Nemesis, Voyager from Homecoming on, Enterprise, Titan, Destiny, Typhon Pact and The Fall. Once Picard took the story another way, the Coda trilogy brought it to a close in 2021.
