The Destiny trilogy is one of the most significant arcs in Star Trek novel history. Gods of Night, Mere Mortals, and Lost Souls told the story of an all-out Borg invasion of the Federation, with consequences that permanently changed the novel universe. Characters died, worlds fell, and the resolution altered the balance of power in the galaxy.

David Mack wrote the trilogy as a crossover event spanning TNG, Titan, and other novel series. The scale of the story and the permanence of its consequences set a new standard for what tie-in fiction could accomplish. Many of the Trek novels published after Destiny dealt with its aftermath.
