I recently got Stargazer "Three" and "Oblivion" and those of you who I've talked to recently, it is most simply the best novel series I have EVER read!
In the year 2333, Lieutenant Commander Jean Luc Picard, Second Officer of the USS Stargazer finds himself in a situation. His Captain has died and the First Officer is in a coma. To accomplish his goals, he must place the fate of the ship and a colony at risk.....
Picard makes it, obviously, but Stargazer is absolutely brilliantly written.
There's Gilaad Ben Zoma, his First Officer; Elizabeth Wu, who eases up on the rules and starts to care; Kastiigan, the Science Officer with a deathwish; Vigo, a Pandrillite, tall and trying to fit in, the Weapons Officer; Simenon, a lizard like grumpy Chief Engineer; the Asmund twins, Gerda and Idun, humans, but raised as Klingons, Navigator and Helm Officers; Carter Greyhorse, a tall but humorless Chief Medical Officer; Jiterica, a being who lives in a containment suit, for she's a gaseous being; Nikolas, the ensign with disciplinary problems; and finally, Cole Paris, whose family is a line of famous Starfleet Officers.....
And, of course, in Book Four "Oblivion", we learn about Picard and Guinan's first meeting. "You have hair." 
I love Stargazer. If anyone has any questions about it, ask! I really love it and I encourage you all to get it!
