Nothing fits that bill quite like Star Trek stories.
Best of all, if you like the ideas and the world of Star Trek, the books are a terrific way to get more ST goodness.
This series of books are collections of short stories of a different ship, with a different crew, on a different mission, to fix what is broken.
Great pains are taken to fit these adventures into the timeline established by the television shows and movies PLUS the timeline within the Star Trek Literary Universe. Whew!
In The Riddled Post the crew of the USS da Vinci are sent to investigate what happened to a far-flung outpost that seems to have been attacked.
These Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories are problem solving adventures - like MacGyver in space.
I must admit, I thought I had the problem figured out from chapter 3 but I was surprised by the actual source.
It took the entire team to figure it all out and make the outpost safe again.
I do enjoy stories about smart people being smart.
