It was great book, I am not sure a follow up is needed to this book. I have heard the second one Forever Peace is good. I have not decided if I will read them yet.
So what are you reading now (Part 4)?

Wonder why?
I'm halfway through Sins of Commission. It's picked up a bit, but I've got to comment on the author's habit of occasionally and awkwardly cramming in a micro description of what a character is wearing - stuff along the lines of "he was wearing a blue suit with white trim and heavy boots", reminding me of My Immortal and starting me giggling every time.
I'm reading Edmund Morris' The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, the first volume in his three volume biography of the 26th President. (The third volume, Colonel Roosevelt, just came out in hardcover.) I read Morris' biography of Ronald Reagan, the controversial Dutch a decade ago, and I'm not sure how I passed Morris' TR biographies by. It's a very readable book, a very well-written book, and it paints a fascinating portrait of a young man filled with energy and passion.
The odd thought I had while reading the chapter on TR's teenaged years.... What a fascinating Doctor Who companion TR would be!

Within a hundred pages of finishing Orion's Hounds and continuing to be impressed. I wonder if David Mack picked up on Ree's joke that Troi would probably taste delicious when he penned the Destiny books?
I just got back into reading Star Trek novels after a few a few years off, and I'm glad I did, there's some great stuff out there.
I'm currently chewing thru David Mack, Dayton Ward, & Kevin Dilmore's excellent Vanguard series. Enjoying the hell out of whole series...looking forward to more.
Got David Mack's Destiny books waiting in the wings as well as William Leisner's TNG book Losing The Peace and Keith R.A. DeCandido's A Singular Destiny
As you can see I'm playing catchup.

In view of being up to my bollocks in snow again this winter, I've foregone The Last Coyote after finishing The Concrete Blonde, and switched to Sven Hassel's Blitzfreeze, which seems appropriate to the climate...
Could I ask what you are researching with those two books, and are they for the same project?
I study Criminal Psychology. The first one is more or less considered required reading. My teacher used Crime and Punishment as an example once and most of us had never read it. So he's making us read it now.
I might have to look at that forensic psychology book.
Last read: Seize the Fire
Right now: Full Circle

I treid to read Crime and Punishment when I was a teen but I didn't get very far. In fact I've read hardly any Russian literature because for years I deluded myself into thinking I might still read them in the original Russian one day. I've now accepted that won't happen. But I haven't got around to it, yet.
I changed the plans I outlined in my last post and jumped right ahead into reading Königliche Hoheit (Royal Highness) by Thomas Mann. It's funny how a story that doesn't seem very appealing or close to my own life on the surface still manages to drag me in. That's Thomas Mann's magic, I guess. The financial troubles the fictional country in the book is in sound very familiar these days, though.
It was written over a century ago, so I'm confident we'll survive the current crisis intact.
I've started the new Trek book Seize The Fire but it's too early to make any judgement calls. It looks promising, though.
Inspired by a discussion in one of the threads here, I'm also reading the Section 31 novel Cloak and like it a lot, so far.

Due to not feeling to well the last few weeks I'm still far behind with my reviewing, but my review of Substitution Method is finally online.
Since finishing that one I've also read Supernatural: War of the Sons by Rebecca Dessertine & David Reed and Doctor Who: The Glamour Chase by Gary Russell.
Currently I'm reading Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game by David Mack.
I'm glad the Eureka book is good. I'm a huge fan of the series, and I've been looking forward to reading this.
Did Aaron Rosenberg write the second one too?
