The Almighty Star Trek Lit-verse Reading Order Flow Chart

TrekBBS user Thrawn constructed an intricate flow chart to help you navigate the many Star Trek novels by where they fit into the continuity of the Star Trek universe. The screenshot here is just a small corner of the huge chart.

Whether you're a fan of TNG, DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise the chart below will show how they spin off into New Frontier, Titan, Klingon Empire, or Vanguard, and crossover into Destiny, Typhon Pact, The Fall, Mirror Universe, and more; letting you chart your own path through the Trek-litverse. Once you've got to grips with the flow chart you might also find some of my lists a useful reference too.

The chart encourages a reader to start anywhere they like, as the novels themselves fill you in on what you need to know. However, the chart will help you to decide what to read next and how the stories fit with each other. There aren’t many novels included from the era of Kirk and Spock, just a few that were set after the movie era began. More reading suggestions can be found with the chart at the Trek Collective. -via Metafilter

I have read few Star Trek novels, but I recommend Battlestations! by Diane Carey and Imzadi by Peter David.

if you can watch this whole video without smiling, you have no soul!

Gosh I have no soul then! It was a nice video though...I prefer his first ones though....

for reals? not even a little one? aww. but it looks like so much fun.

This one was good, but his first videos were better, because they were just more spontaneous. Still, the concept is cool, and it's great to see people from all over the world and such varied cultures just having goofy fun in a universal way.
I did smile several times by the way :)

He gave a great info lecture that's posted on YouTube as well. Part 3 has a good Q&A session.

Wow, that was so neat. I got goosebumps, for some bloody reason.

I love this guy! He must be one of the most interesting people to talk to ever... he's travelled EVERYWHERE!
Seriously, it's easier to list the places he's NOT been to now...
Still hasn't been to anywhere near me though... except London I suppose... but that's pretty far. Maybe next time!
This video makes me happy ^_^

Cute. I was thinking this Where's Waldo-looking guy must be sponsored, and sure enough, he was. Kinda commercialized the cuteness and spontaneity out of it.

I envy him so much. To do nothing but travel the planet! What a way to live. :)

Do something stupid- get noticed -do it again and again- and the world becomes your oyster.

Doesn't his legs get tired from all that dancing around the world?

One long extended vacation
paid for by the YouTube Corp.

How does he afford this shit?

Marine, at the end of the video he thanks his sponsor. He did this once before out of his own pocket, but much more limited. Caught some Executives attention and wham, free travel!

That is one of the most kick-ass videos I've seen in a long time :) I'm still grinning!

The scene with the dancers in India knocked me off my chair laughing. Such grace!

Aw. Cute...

I don't think he actually stays in one of those locations long enough to really appreciate it. I can only imagine he is spending a few days in each location before moving on. That or some idiot is spending alot of money for him to be jobless and video taping himself dance.

Looks like he made it to South Korea before some idiot burned down the Namdaemun.

I was in that video. I met Matt in Santa Monica, and had sushi! he is really cool!

by the way, he's NOT Australian. he is from the US, and lived in Australia for while before he started traveling.

The new guinea video is the best haha!

I'm so excited about this. I'm the girl in red on the left dancing in Vancouver!

Too bad the dude sucks at dancing.

It's like watching a halfass running-man for five minutes.

I could do better with a green-screen and a mac.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

This seriously made my day the first time I saw it. Dancing kids are my one weakness.

PS - I'm pretty sure he's American, not Australian :)

I love this video! Can I dance around the world please!
