The Star Trek: TNG Relaunch is one of the longest-running tie-in novel series, with 76 entries spanning from 1987 to 2024. The series continued the Enterprise crew’s story well beyond what the television series and movies covered, exploring new threats, political situations, and character developments.

Key arcs within the relaunch include the A Time To… sequence, the Cold Equations trilogy, and the Destiny crossover. David Mack was a major contributor to the line. The series ended with the Coda Trilogy in 2021, though individual books like Pliable Truths (2024) continued to appear. The relaunch gave TNG fans decades of additional stories with Picard, Data, Worf, and the rest of the crew.
