The Star Trek: Section 31 series focuses on Starfleet’s covert intelligence agency, an organization that operates outside the Federation’s usual ethical boundaries. The original four novels were published together in 2001, each set in a different Star Trek era and written by a different author. S.D. Perry wrote Cloak, which is set during the Original Series period. Later entries like Disavowed (2014) and Control (2017) continued the Section 31 storyline in the post-Nemesis timeline.

This is a multi-author subseries within the broader Star Trek novel line. One entry in the list, “Star Trek Voyager 21. Sektion 31. Der Schatten,” is a German-language edition of Shadow rather than a separate book. The Section 31 novels can be read independently, though reading them in publication order gives the best sense of how the shadowy organization operates across different eras of Trek history.
