I'm coming a little late to this conversation, mainly where it turns toward Alan Dean Foster's memoir about writing all those classic novelizations of movies and television stories of which I have fond memories. i could ramble on and on about the nostalgia factor. I'll just stick with a...

It's been a while since I visited here, and this drew my attention. As someone who has read and enjoyed Alan Dean Foster's work, I was excited to discover recently he wrote a book about his experiences writing novelizations of movies and television stories. I've read a bunch of his...

Great! Thank you for your help, @Christopher and @ryan123450, much appreciated. I look forward to reading through SFA (and the branching storyline)!

Pardon the misunderstanding, I worded my post imprecisely. I got the impression issue 12 of SFA kicks off the crossover, with the SFA characters in very serious legal jeopardy. One of the DS9 issues teases with a tagline of "Is this the end of...?" [of the SFA characters, Omega Squad]. And at...

Hello, I've been collecting the Starfleet Academy comic series recently, because I've heard great things about it for years. The bundle I was able to get a hold of included the Klingon language version of one of the later issues, which is hilarious yet also exactly the version I didn't want, so...

It's fun to see this exploring events we're familiar with, from an outsider's perspective. And I think I caught a Doctor Who joke, related to a common trait shared by several of the characters. As I said elsewhere, the cover is beautiful, especially for TOS movie era fans...it kind of looks...

Your rationale for speculating on possible directions the series could have gone in makes sense, @Allyn Gibson. With no stable writers, the series might be more recognizable in the older, disconnected, anthology type format of the original 60s television series. Guest writers could introduce...

I'm excited about this one. And that cover is just stunning!

Whoops! I think I was confusing David Michelinie with Mike Barr for some reason, no idea why. That's a weird mistake, please disregard. I think I remember reading about the plan for Tony Isabella being slated as the regular writer in the mail column at the back of the issues. The fan mail...

@JonnyQuest037 Thank you for the overview of the different writing styles on comics, that's great stuff. And also for your perspective on the rise and fall and rise of the quality of writing for the overall series. I did like Mike W. Barr's work (and he came up with some good stuff on the...

I guess that makes sense, given the possibility of time constraints. It's too bad, though, I think there were lots of interesting possibilities they could have gone with, if they'd kept the Surak and crew around. Seeing what Peter David is doing with the current set up makes me think he would...

The most I feel I can say about Len Wein is that I was very disappointed at how he ended the tenure of the crew's assignment as staff on the Excelsior, and it's more down to what happens to the Surak and it's crew. I enjoyed the status quo that was in place between TSFS and TVH with the...

I've been reading through the DC TOS Volume 1 series that was being published through the 1980s and the TOS movie era gradually over the last couple years, and now closing on the last couple of stories. I've enjoyed most of the overall story progression, especially stretching the status quo...

I took a look at the contents, the essays look pretty promising. I'm curious about the focus on Diane Carey in the framework of adaptation and expansion, but the title of that essay makes me feel like I would be more interested in that kind of analysis for Vonda McIntyre and J.M. Dillard...

It's funny you put it that way; that's much the way I viewed it going in, and what I wanted and hope for. I read it know it as a focal point for many of the novels that I assembled for reading. It had an additional, somewhat erroneous significance, having to do with the coming of TNG. I tried...

I wouldn't leave you in the lurch, your line of inquiry and the results it got made possible the reading approach I've been taking for several years and it's been a fun collection of titles to make my way through. This is one of my favorite threads. Your Star Trek literature website also a lot...

I hope no one minds my post revisiting some of the earlier posts in the first couple pages of this thread, which I had a lot of fun compiling for a reading list, to experiment with the idea of a version of TOS continuity that is exclusively TOS and it's movies (my usual disclaimer, though, I...

Hey, it's really neat to see this threat again! As Christopher replied, the DC Volume 1 series has a little bit of intersection with books from before 1991. There are the comics written by Diane Duane that bring in and include characters she introduced in her novels. Even better is that I...

I've liked his reviews and enjoyed reading them quite a lot over the years. I do wish he would stop spontaneously changing his rating system, he's done it over and over again, and you can see where he goes back and edits them, and doesn't go all the way through the books. Great reviews, yet...

Fair enough! :lol: I too did have fun with it, just not as much as I had hoped. Full disclosure, I'm further ahead in my reading than I am in my reviewing. Even though you said it and I remembered it, while reading Memory Prime it didn't really jump out at me, it sort of felt like it blended...
