The mass market paperback was first released in 1992. It is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the Trek Universe, written by Wisconsin native Leah Rewolinski, and future books in the series were co-written with Harry Trumbore. The books feature characters such as Smirk and Jean-Lucy Picardo and eventually cross into the DS9 Universe. The seven books in the series aren't shining examples of modern literature, but by poking fun at just about every aspect of Trek, it's a light read with lots of puns and one-liners.
