Andy Williams and K.R.A.D.

[RobertScorpio]

Congrats Keith...I just bought my second TREK book tonight, right along with Andy William's Moon River and Me....

I haven't read a new Trek book since three years ago when I read one during Jury duty. Now with this new SONY READER, I have already read one..Shatner's CAPTAIN'S GLORY, which I thought was pretty good...

This SLINGS AND ARROWS, with Picard/Worf/Sisko on the cover got my attention real quick; so I got it. Looks real good!!! Does this story take place after DS9 or in that between area? oh well..I'll find out soon enough...

the singer?

 

[RobertScorpio]

the singer?

Yeah...I am a fan of Andy Williams the singer. Dude put out a book about his life, and some of the history he was part of. He and Bobby Kennedy were good friends, and Andy Williams was there the night Bobby was assassinated, and Andy Williams talks about that fateful night.

Moon River...

Believe it or not, I just discovered that Richard Matheson used to write songs for Perry Como.

The mind boggles . . . .

oh..and Greg...I am seriously considering buying your KHAN series on my reader. My 'hardcover' versions of that series are in my special "book case" and it would look weird not seeing them there displayed in all their glory...

I havent read them in years and I remember really liking them.

Slings and Arrows takes place in the time prior to First Contact during the... I want to say fifth season of DS9. It even deals with the change in uniform in an amusing way during the story you mention.

The two I know of are:

"I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever."

"Do You Remember Me."

(John Ordover observed that "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever" sounds like the scariest TWILIGHT ZONE ep ever!)

They did a Fairly Oddparents episode along those lines.
