I don’t have a source for this but I seem to remember that Peter David imagined Mel Gibson. Edit: wait I did find a source. https://www.peterdavid.net/archives/000870.html Search the page for “Gibson”.

I thought the TOS Legacies trilogy came out quite nicely in audiobook form.

16 and a half years for me, but I was at psiphi before that.

In my experience Kevin J. Anderson is not the most thoughtful of authors. It always seems to me like his stories need a little bit longer in development before writing them down. Lots of plot holes and conveniences.

More power to you completists. I love Star Trek novels a whole lot and that is for sure not happening on my end!

I’m always impressed by how open to others’ input, and willing to explain your own choices, you are. Kind of the epitome of being a useful resource in your interactions in addition to the page you made. Even if this poster was annoyed at you, you can’t please everyone! We all know you do an...

The critique in your review about the danger of AI being that it will do exactly what we tell it to is spot on. I didn’t even consider that when I read the book myself - and perhaps my own thinking about AI has changed in the meantime - but you’re absolutely right.

Yes, I imagine so.

Yeah I think towards the end of the LitVerse continuity Mack was channeling a lot of cynicism about contemporary American politics into the writing. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as that sort of commentary has been a part of Trek’s DNA from the beginning, but it got to the point where I...

I take this thread as a personal attack.

I'm interested in your opinions about all of these books; can't wait!

Any list like this that doesn't have Destiny or anything by Kirsten Beyer on it is just wrong. I've even given Destiny to two people who had never seen an episode of Star Trek and they both loved it.

This sounds like something that would've been in Imzadi or Imzadi II but I don't remember. Anyone got an ebook of those they can search?

Didn't they have to really fight to be able to do "Family" at all? Pushing at that limitation. They also did a lot of making arcs out of like 1 episode per season, so within a season you could rearrange episodes but as long as Season 4 came after Season 5, then you could refer back to what...

Yeah but that's a really lazy thing to do as a writer, still, surely? Given something explicitly established on screen, the choices of either to use that to build a story or ignore it and find a way to retcon it that's only plausible by making a main character uninformed about things that...

That's one of the few books people shout out as classics that I've never gotten to. Should really pick that up one of these days.

Treason, for me, was where I started to lose the thread; started to feel like the wheels were coming off.

I think that's one of your particular strengths Christopher; I always enjoy those moments in your books. I know so much of this all so well by now but you almost always succeed in getting me to think about it from a different angle, or deepen my understanding.

True, but they had also already commissioned the Sword of the Jedi trilogy to follow it, which was cancelled once the decision was clear. So that may have been the case, but it had an asterisk next to it that said "unless we decide to keep writing more, which we plan to!" See...

For what it's worth, I basically agree with Christopher here that DRG3 did a fairly successful job at scaffolding the story in a believable way given Sisko's character. It was just an awkwardly constructed plotline from the beginning with bad real world optics. I didn't know he'd gotten an...
