Amazon.de has canceled my order of this book. I´m a bit disappointed. I´ve ordered Vanguard 5 instead.

Why the heck would they do that?
New Star Trek haul by Therin of Andor, on Flickr
A big week for "Star Trek" collectibles Down Under:
* Christopher L Bennett's "Enterprise" novel from Pocket Books, "Rise of the Federation: Uncertain Logic" (thanks Galaxy Bookshop)
* The latest issues of "The Primate Directive" crossover with "Planet of the Apes" and the Bad Robot films' ongoing tie-in, both comics from IDW
* A 45rpm "Bi-centennial-10 Souvenir Record" by Johnny Nova & The Starfleet (Tristar, 1976), featuring the songs "Starfleet" and "Crystal Crakin'"
* and, from a US friend visiting Sydney on vacation, two very cool free items she found for me at a US comic convention several years ago (and has been dying to present to me): a red "Expendable" Startrek.com flexible wristband, and a miniature flip book of "Gene's Journal", backed with "Rod & Barry" from Roddenberry.com (2008).
Top right is a new toy I just ordered: a "Glow-in-the-Duck" bath toy of "Mr Spack".
Sincere thanks to Kelso for hooking me up with the "CBS Watch!" commemorative Nimoy issue!
Now to find him something fun and Australian Trek-related in return... Mmmmm.

Greetings from Galaxy Bookshop (Sydney, Australia)! We now have in stock for you:
"Crisis of Consciousness" by Dave Galanter.
Woo hoo!
Oh, and look what else just turned up! A surprise registered parcel from Germany! I'd totally forgotten about it, since I placed the order in about October last year, after collecting four coupons from the "Star Trek: Enterprise" boxed set Blu-Rays, then I sent a reminder email a few months ago, to which there was never a reply. This free, personalised, acrylic dedication plaque offer was available only outside USA. Note that mine is personalised to Commander Therin of Andor.

Lucky bastard.
I picked up my copy of Crisis of Conciousness yesterday.
That's how they translated it? Ohh, then they got it wrong. It would seem to translate as "Storm in Heaven" or "Storm on the sky," depending on which translator site I use -- i.e. they assumed it meant that Heaven was storming, in the sense of undergoing a storm. But the phrase in English actually means "storming" in the sense of attacking a place by force, like storming a fortress. (As in Miracle Max's line from The Princess Bride: "Have fun storming the castle!") It's a reference to a line from Homer's Odyssey about giants who attempted to storm Heaven itself, to invade the realm of the gods. (And it's the second Trek novel to make that reference; there's a 1997 TNG novel by Esther Freisner called To Storm Heaven.)
