Thanks! I'll pass on the leola root, but would love some coffee!

teacake · March 29 2012, 08:27 AM

Oh but the leola root is so fibrous! And it makes the scones such a lovely brown color!

Any friend of cucumber sandwiches and pecan pie is a friend of mine.

Welcome to the Voyager forum! Just in time for Janeway's possible return to the Star Trek novelverse.

I haven't read any of the post-series novels. Is it true that they killed Janeway off?

teacake · March 29 2012, 09:57 PM

Yes.

Not enough angry emoticons to follow that word.

How very true.

On another note, teacake, I think that your avatar is fantastic!

I'd have to read her death first. I'm currently reading James Swallow's Synthesis, which is well put together.

But nothing quite matches David Mack's Destiny trilogy, which was above the usual pulp standard.

(And I say 'pulp' without criticism - what I've called 'delete fiction' elsewhere.)

But I liked Janeway as a character (and Mulgrew's performance, with some atrocious dialogue to deliver), so I'd happily try her in print.

Her demise is in "Before Dishonor", which is set shortly prior to Destiny (with "Greater Than the Sum" in between, tying up lose ends). Then "Full Circle" relaunches Voyager, in the post-Destiny Trek universe.

Thanks Violet Phoenix for your avatar compliment.

I'd list my favorite Treklit as:

Terok Nor trilogy, first one in particular by Swallow
A Stitch in Time
Mosaic
Avatar 1 and 2
Erika Hernandez's story in the Destiny trilogy. I was very meh on the TNG story lines but wow, very impressive to have a minor character written so well in Hernandez.

I agree, Teacake. Where did you get that photo?

Wow, the only title that's been listed here that I recognize is Mosaic. I HAVE been out of the loop for a long time.

I tried reading the first book (I think it's Christie Golden) that came out after Voyager ended, but threw it down as soon as I got to the part where Naomi was asking about her "Uncle Neelix". Since she never called him that, I figured there was no point in going on reading something written by a person that missed something that basic. It's like having a non-Star Trek fan direct Nemesis.

As far as I'm concerned, some of those Star Trek pocket novels are just glorified fan fiction. I've seen some stuff on the net that's more well written than certain books.

I reserve the right to ignore any ludicrous, senseless, or inaccurate work of fiction whether it be a book or a certain movie, and make it have no bearing on any fan fiction I write. I haven't yet written any for Voyager, but I eventually will.

BTW, I'm new here but I've been a fan of Voyager for years

Welcome Lipton! Don't worry the "ignoring books we don't like" contingent is pretty strong in these parts.

There are some excellent books in the last years though.
