Re: Deep Space Nine: The Missing by Una McCormack Review Thread Spoile When did Lucy Ricardo become The Doctor?
15 months after The Fall: Crimson Shadow (the highest-ranked entry in the The Fall mini-series), Una McCormack returns to close out 2014 with what promises to be another interesting window into the complicated socio-politics of 24th century - as The Missing's featured character Katherine Pulaski is unlikely to be shy with her opinions on them. Official street date: December 30th. Blurb: Unfortunately the Simon & Schuster book page doesn't offer an excerpt from The Missing at this time.
Thanks for sharing! I looked it over (not delving too deeply). It's immensely rewarding to see familiar characters in a new stage of their lives. It's like keeping in touch with old class mates.
I was a little wary of this book with three TNG characters being in it; reading that excerpt, the appearance of a main DS9 character in the novel has really changed my mind!
Guys, I just noticed that JWolf opened a review thread for this a full month ago already. I do check for existing threads before making mine, but not that far back. What do we do?
As there aren't votes in either poll yet, I think it wouldn't do any harm to merge the threads, but that would be trampledamage's decision.
^ If we merge them it'd be cool if the title of this one could be used, since it's more consistent with the others ("DS9:" prefix, etc.).
I'll merge them and edit the eventual thread title. done - let me know if I've messed anything up or missed anything
Just picked up my copy at the book store. Boy with the size of the text and thickness of the book it reminds me of a 1990's DS9 novel. But I'll get into it after I finish Leslie McFarlane's Christmas Classic "The Mystery Of Cabin Island".
Just read the excerpt. May I say from what I read, I'm stoked for new DS9, especially this novel. Can't wait for it to get here fast enough.
Just picked up my copy. Going to start it later today. Very excited for a new Una story, but i'm surprised it's so thin. At least it seems hat way. Only 307 pages, which I believe is at least 20-30 pages less than Crimson Shadow was. Reminds me of the thinner books that were coming out when 2 trek books a month were the norm.
This novel is one I can't wait to read when I can get a copy in a few weeks .The bad weather makes it harder to get the books in the mail .After listening to Una discuss this book on 2 different podcasts I can't wait to see what the ds9 crew has been up to since The fall miniseries.
Re: Deep Space Nine: The Missing by Una McCormack Review Thread Spoile Hey, she owned the whole damn studio once. And is Sybok's mother-in-law. Since Sybok's mother was "a Vulcan princess", doesn't that make Lucy Queen of the Galaxy?
