Series background & context
Star Trek: Titan follows William Riker after he leaves the Enterprise to command the USS Titan. The ship's mission leans into exploration, with a notably diverse crew and plenty of first-contact problems.
James Swallow wrote key Titan novels, including Synthesis, The Poisoned Chalice, and Sight Unseen. His stories push the crew into unfamiliar territory, from artificial intelligences to Starfleet politics and tense post-crisis missions.
This is a good series for readers who like The Next Generation values but want a new command dynamic. Riker is no longer waiting for the centre chair. He has it, and that changes the shape of every problem.
