Imzadi by Peter David

Page 33:

Riker smiled. "Remember that blue-green outfit of hers?"

"Ohhh, yes. That was my favorite."

"Mine, too. Every so often, when I was feeling frivolous, I'd put it on and romp around the holodeck."

Crusher stared at Riker's deadpan expression. "You...?"

"I'm kidding, Wesley."

How Much for Just the Planet by John M Ford

Page 93:

Kirk said, "You can't run a society based on... comedy routines."

Captain Kirk's Guide to Women by Bones Rodriguez

Page 33:

I believe that Trekkies will transform into the sex symbols of the future. Star Trek conventions will be run by “unprincipled, evil-minded, lecherous kulaks,” with attendees celebrating Pon farr every year. I envision a world where Trekkies are endorsing perfume, jeans, and underwear. I dream of the first Trekkie centerfold, the first Trekkie president, and the first Trekkie sex scandal.... A redshirt gets killed by flowers... tap into your Inner Kirk.

Star Trek: Troublesome Minds by Dave Galanter

Opening lines:

"Now!” Kirk ordered. Before Kirk could hear if Kyle had Spock beamed aboard, the Copernicus cracked open like a giant egg and pushed forth a massive bubble of plasma and white-hot energy. Enterprise was slammed back. She rolled away, creaking under the strain as support struts buckled and circuits sparked. The bridge lights dimmed and returned, but the ship continued to quake and rumble.
