Just started on the Kaiju Rising anthology.
A bit in to Star Wars Aftermath 2. Way better than the original. I can't wait to find out more about Sloane's benefactor.
I finished Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett.
I then read Star Trek: The Original Series: Elusive Salvation by Dayton Ward.
I'm currently nearing the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Force and Motion by Jeffrey Lang.

Finished the Kaiju Rising anthology. For my tastes, some good, others not quite so much.
Now it's Boundary by Eric Flint and Ryk Spoor.

I recently realized that I never finished reading the SCE/Corps of Engineers series from several years back. (I have several hundred books in this house that I haven't read yet, so this kind of thing happens occasionally.) Started with Creative Couplings and I've worked up to Wounds. I think I'll blaze straight through to the end.
This series really was ahead of its time, with its serialized, character-based storytelling in a novella format -- it's a lot like what Serial Box is doing now with series like Ellen Kushner's Tremontaine. I wish we were getting more than the occasional e-novella from Pocket these days. It's a good format.

I always saw it as being written in the style of comic books. It came out monthly, like comics, and had the same mix of episodic plots and serialized character arcs that Marvel pioneered back in the '60s (and that's now become a standard TV format as well).
I'm taking a break from Bill and reading Arc Light now. I'm no a nuclear war/disaster streak.
Finished Boundary by Flint & Spoor and am now on Threshold by the same

Last book I read was Jordyn Redwood's Fractured Memory. Got a free copy from the author if I would review it. You can read my review at my occasional blog here: http://lacynreads.weebly.com
I finished William Leisner's "The Shocks of Adversity", which I really enjoyed. I felt that the writing and characterization of the Enterprise crew was spot on. The story was a bit lopsided in places, but overall I thought it was great.
Next up, I am going to read "Foul Deeds Will Rise".

Not Trek, but a Trek author: I just re-read Greg Cox' Loose Ends, a novel based on the Roswell TV show. The first time I read it (on release) I had never watched the show, only read the original Roswell High books. They share characters with the same names, but the story, characterization, and virtually everything are worlds apart. I was so confused the first time -- "Who are the Skins? Who is Tess? Why do they like Valenti? Why do they keep mentioning Czechoslovakians?!". This time around, having watched the series through at least four times, I enjoyed it much more. I'm not re-reading it randomly..I am going to New Mexico later this year and am reading fiction set there this summer.
Well, it was a novel based on a TV show based on a novel series, so I can't blame you for being a little puzzled at first.
Trivia: Bizarrely, Loose Ends was published in France as The Assassins Never Forget, which came as a surprise to me when I got a copy.
Maybe "loose ends" isn't a idiom that makes sense in French.
I just wrapped up TNG: Doomsday World. It's always been one of my favorite early TNG books. Last night, i started TNG: Exiles by Howard Weinstein. My 24th century chronological read-through continues. I always did love the artwork of these novels from the 90s.
