I think I just laughed myself to death. Typing this is just my body's natural autonomic functions dwindling down...
Also, Sonek Pran is a folk musician, not a country musician. I wouldn't be caught dead writing a country musician......
Absolutely brilliant stuff. I might ask S&S to replace the back-cover copy on my books with some of these.
Congrats Deranged Nasat, you just won the internet. (Or at least the TrekBBS.) Funny, I just had the same thought. Of course if he'd keep writing them it wouldn't need to be. I saw these mentioned on KRAD's blog a while back but I didn't get a chance to actually read them until just now. These are hilarious. A few of the early ones aren't as funny to me just because I can't remember the books anymore, I read them so long ago. All the recent ones where I remember the context though are sooooo funny. I'd love to see more, for the new books as they come out. Oh deranged one, if you are still reading, please write more!
Try reading it with the music of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" in your head. edited: oops someone already posted that.
^^ Well that's a little harsh. Deranged Nasat may have been extreme in that thread, but his other contributions are good. Surely we can ignore that one strident thread. I hope he posts here again with more Humorous Novel summaries.
I'm sure it won't be as good as Deranged Nasat's, but I'd like to take a stab at one. Spoiler: The Stuff of Dreams In which a Federation scientist risks all and sabotages his own starship to enter the Nexus, so he can finally realize his ultimate dream - dying a horrible death at the hands of the Borg along with his family. Anyone else?
