I pre-ordered my copy of Strange Novel Worlds as soon as it was available after hearing David Mack talk about it on a Trek Lit podcast (either "Positively Trek" or "Literary Treks"). I'm thoroughly enjoying the book (having read the intro and the outro "A Coda on Coda") and am writing here in...

Curious if anyone has any information about #1 Audiobook version of A Stitch in Time, Deep Space Nine #27 #2 Ebook version of No Man's Land I made notes for myself upon hearing about these two possibilities on podcasts over the past couple of years but have not been able to find anything...

Simon & Schuster For Sale Again Impact To 2024 Novels . . . ? I decided to pose this question here rather than start a new thread. I read in the past few days that, though the acquisition/merger between S&S and Penguin Random House was blocked, Paramount has again put S&S up for sale. I heard...

Agreed, muchas gracias. This information is one of the first things that turned me into a BBS reader and poster!

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I appreciate the thoughts and reactions. Smiley, your final observation fits the impression I had back in 2016 that left me to skip the trilogy. If I did not have other books I wanted to read, well, then I'd have no reason not to roll the dice with my time...

Good day all, I skipped the Legacies trilogy from 2016. At the time the books didn't spark my interest, and I had limited time to read. Listening to an old interview on Trek FM of David Mack talking about the trilogy and his entry. The political angle caught my attention and interest...

Jim, aka Shastrix, does include a politics signifier for The Fall here: https://www.shastrix.com/books/star-trek-reading-order.php Donnie

Crap . . . I had also meant to add Marco Palmieri, Margaret Clark, and Ed Schlesinger to the list of luminaries. DBG

In continuing to read this thread and the others related to the three final books of the First Splinter / Litverse, one theme of our responses stands out to me and I'd like to acknowledge the wonder of this and to pay gratitude to those who deserve such. Many of us have posted numerous...

Here are 11 books that were published since 2001 that I rated as 10s and that I believe are worth reading more than once. Course, a number of these are part of a "miniseries," so you would need to consider how much you want to dive in without reading what came before. As to why they still...

I thought The Entropy Effect and Prime Directive were good not great, and neither was significantly better than the other. Don't misunderstand, I liked them, but I rated for my own enjoyment all of the Trek books I've read since starting in 2004, and I consider those with ratings of 8, 9, and...

Arpy, I'm working on a response but will quickly respond and say that the Terek Nor trilogy is the only "miniseries" (trilogy, quadrilogy, etc.) that I read that I rated each entry as a 10. James Swallow and S.D. Perry turned in phenomenal novels. My memory is that they were realistic.

So much that you write mirrors my experience and disappointment. I expected everyone to die, so I knew to be prepared to feel sad, shed a tear, and mourn the loss of this 20-year saga. Yet, specific things, and you eloquently identify many of them, made this trilogy not what I had hoped it...

Couple of comments. I actually enjoyed the creation of the Typhon Pact and enjoyed most of the books. I really liked the concept and thought that it did not need to be a miniseries but could be just a natural evolution of Treklit that could play out in perpetuity and across any number of...

Wow. All well said. And thanks for the reminders. I'd forgotten completely Bev's demand that she is not leaving without Jean-Luc. I thought, WTF. Really? I rolled my eyes and imagined Scotty appearing across time and space to inform her, "Ma'am he's dead already." Again, totally...

Thanks, Christopher. I did not know what a showrunner actually was; I remember reading that Manny Coto was the showrunner for the last year of ENT, which was the first time I heard that word with regard to a television show. I figured it meant "person in charge." Yeah, I meant it so...

ToddCam, I read your post twice as I found myself resonating with several things you noted (I finished the third book last night). I'm only responding to one thing you noted. I thought I was being too insensitive when I was shocked that Beverly (and Jean-Luc to a lesser degree) would be...

Interesting observation about the golden age and which years that encompassed and the treading water years after this period of time. I've not gone back to compare the published dates of novels and my own ratings of them, but I'm inspired now to do so and see if I find a similar golden streak...

(Context for this posting: I'm just over the halfway mark in this novel.) Much of what Thrawn has said has validated my sense of what has been missing in these novels. Simultaneously, I've also agreed with a number of assertions VESATI has made; for example, sitting down with the authors and...

Oops, not enough espresso when writing above. But you get my point. :hugegrin:
