I finally got the chance to finish the Rihannsu series with The Empty Chair. I enjoyed the faster pace of the final piece to the puzzle, as well as the effort put into the character arcs.
My only critique is that the entire home planet revolt was washed over in three chapters. They could have made an lengthy novel out of the final battle with multiple character perspectives and action sequences.
Overall it was a really well written standalone adventure with a unique Romulan perspective.
Next up is the latest SGA Legacy novella Pride of the Genii.

Finished up Reap the Whirlwind...
Up next is The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov.
Sandesjo dead, T'Prynn a vegetable, Reyes up for court-martial. Discovery could learn a thing or two from these books about telling a big story and leaving your audience wanting more.

I finished Savage Trade by Tony Daniel. Meh, just an average Trek book to me, nothing special in it.
I was in a used book shop in Burlington Vermont and found an old copy of Star Trek Into Darkness. Usually I don't read the novelizations to the movies/shows, but Timeliners has been breaking things down into really detailed work. Chapters and subentries, defining the flow of one story vs another......so while I probably won't even read it soon, it is now part of the collection.
Articles of the Federation is indeed a great novel, unbelievable that TPTB don't let KRAD write star trek novels
Are the Timeliners working on something for a new book or just putting things together for fun?
I jumped into the TNG: A Time To,,, series. I'm on book 1 ,,,To Be Born.
I, The Constable was the first Star Trek book I've read in about a year. I just found it a bit meh.
I've started Double, Double by Michael Jan Friedman and I'm already a little underwhelmed and I'm only on chapter three. A meteor is going to destroy an island and everyone is running around trying to evacuate people. At the last minute Kirk sprints off to find someone. If it's explained why they can't use sensors to find and beam the last few people up I must have missed it. And of course there's a transporter problem just as the they are about to beam up Kirk and the meteor shower has started slamming into the planet.
I got distracted with going back to school, a new job and a little down because it looked like new books weren't going to be coming out for awhile so I haven't read any Trek since Enigma Tales. So that's about 10 books since then and I haven't read 25 of the old numbered TOS novels and that's it, I've pretty much read everything else. I'm planning to start up again and go back and forth between old and new until I'm done.

I didn't post much because of STLV, but now that I'm back, I'm getting a bit caught up!

Doing a reread of Lacuna: Demons of the void by David Adams.
Star wars: Jedi Twilight
During my holidays, I really found a lot of time to read. So I finished the Worlds of DS9 series (had to read Trill, Bajor, Ferenginar & Dominion) and also read the first book of season 9 (Warpath).
I really liked the Ferengi-book. Funny Story and a lot of the most interesting Ferengi-characters. To bad, there are not that many pure Ferengi-novels.
Also the Bajor-book was good. Interesting idea, to tell a Jake-Sisko-Story from the perspective of another person (Rena). But did they really have to marry that fast???
The Trill-story was also good, but this time, I really hated the end. Did they seriously kill 90% of the Trill-Symbionts? Change the whole concept of the Trill-culture? And I don't see any follow-up to this. No idea, why they decided for this ending.
Almost the same with the Dominion. So the founders believe in a god? And then the god dies and all the Founders leave? Okay, Odo is now the leader of the Dominion???
I didn't like the Cardassia- and Andor-storys, but there is one interesting to the last one: The Andor-book has absolutely NO canon character!
Warpath was okay, but I'm not a fan of all those prophets-illusions. But it was an interesting start into season 9. Let's see, what all the Kira-versions will do. Oh, one of my highlights were the chapters written from the perspactive of the bounty hunters, following the "cardassian woman".
Now I've startet Fearful Symmetry. More of Illiana and Kira.... and Kira and Illiana.... and 8 Benjamin Siskos from different realities.........
