It follows that books like Stitch In Time, Battle of Betazed and Lives of Dax which lay the foundation of the relaunch are also canon. However books like Dominion War: Behind Enemy Lines which contradict major character backstory as given in Avatar, are probably not canon.

And the bonus of course is you don't really need any of the above. No offense to the authors of Millenium, but they just didn't get DS9. DS9 prequels manage to make me care @ characters I just met,

Great writing, great acting, and an awesome story arc which maintained the interest and made missing an episode harder to do. ....oh and it treated the audience like grown ups. Ive read nothing of the relaunch but am about to go pay Amazon a visit :-) =/\= DS9 rocks, by far and away the best Trek series.

If you like the series (and many people don't ), you'll most likely also enjoy the relaunch books.

It's a shame they don't fit into the 'new' continuity. That having been said, I seem to remember Shatner saying recently (isn't he always saying something?) that he's stopped writing his 'Shatnerverse' Trek novels. I *hope* that allows his writing partners the Reeves-Stevens to return to writing their own Trek novels again. A new ENT novel by the pair would be just awesome -- especially given the fact that they were writers on the show during its final season and likely had some more stories brewing for those characters.
