Is "The Sky is the Limit" good ?

[Can]

I have seen "The Shy is the Limit" in bookstore. As I understand it is a short story analogy about TNG crew. Is it good ? ( usually I do not hold unrelated short story format in high regard but I liked "Tales of the Dominion War" very much )

It is quite a good book. It shows different time periods of the TNG universe. Some very good stories in there.

It's largely very good. Most of the stories are brilliant, some are weaker, but none are outright bad.

I like to think it's pretty damn fine!

It wasn't bad but it seemed to take a long time for me to read it. I can usually get through a book in two days but this took about a week. I thought it was just a bit on the boring side.

No, no, what really happened is you were savoring it.

It's a great anthology, IMO.

Glad you liked it! :thumbsup:

I am still reading it. Up to Christopher's story but I liked the story that showed how Picard got command of Enterprise.

I enjoyed it. My only problem with it, is the stories were too short. Of course, with them being short stories and all, I guess that's the point.

Marco was kind enough to let me run a couple thousand words long . . . it would have been painful to try to cut the story down to 10,000. In the end, my story was almost twice as long as an SNW story; those had a 7,500 word limit. It was fun to have all that breathing room.

I liked some of the stories, but a few were slow and two of them weren't all that good at all.

I'm only on Acts of Compassion, but if that and Meet With Triumph And Disaster are any indication, then it is, to quote Scott Pearson, a "pretty damn fine" entry into the Trek Lit Universe. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[MichaelS]

Tbank you! That is very good to hear.

 

[Dancing Doctor]

I'm just hoping the other TNG Relaunch novels are as good. I've "kinda" started Q&A, and it's not too bad.

There you go!

^Further reading (I'm on Ordinary Days) has only confirmed my initial impression.

I am reading it right now. So far I am very impressed with "Suicide Note" and "Four Lights" stories. Suicide Note closes down plot of one of my favorite storylines "The Defector".

Thanks very much, Can. I'm glad it provided some satisfying closure for you.
