Myriad Universes

The Myriad Universes Reading List is centered around the series of novels which tell "what if?" stories based on alternate versions of moments in Star Trek history. In addition to the main novel line, one comic miniseries was published under this banner. Several Myriad Universes stories reference characters or events from the Lit-verse, and so this series is included despite not actually taking place in the Lit-verse continuity.  All of these are stand alone tales and there is really no reason to read them in the chronological order given here.

Since the Myriad Universes Reading List does not have a main storyline, as many of the other series do, the light blue denotes the expanded storyline of the television series. Read any or all of these to go a bit deeper.

As always, not every reference to every other story is mentioned, just the one I chose as most important to show the expanding Lit-verse web.
