Latest acquisition!
- Thread starter Therin of Andor
- Start date
Last Sunday I got the e-book of Barsk: The Elephant's Graveyard by Lawrence M. Shoen. I'm mentioning this here because Shoen is a member of The Klingon Language Institute, and he wrote The Klingon Hamlet, the story jubHa in Strange New Worlds III, and worked on Klingon translations of the comics, Malibu DS9 #31: Remembrance, Starfleet Academy #15: MangHom qaD!, and Klingons: Blood Will Tell #1: Against Their Nature.

Also IDW’s finales to “Discovery: The Light of Kahless” (#4) and “TNG: Through the Mirror” (#5), plus a “Mirror Universe” magnetic insignia.

Latest Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr
"Autographs of the Final Frontier: Rare Signatures, Warm Sentiments and Handwritten Filming Memories from the Cast, Crew and Guest Stars of TOS" (Minkatek Press, 2018) by Gerald Gurian; a bizarre/racy early parody novel, "Satyr Trek" (Olympia Press, 1970) by Ray Kainen; and the gorgeous mottled-blue double-LP pressing of the expanded soundtrack of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture".
From the blurb of "Satyr Trek: "Bored marriages have led to many an adventure, but never anything like SATYR TREK! Raunch Gaffer innocently applies to a computer date service, just for an adult change of scenery, not of planet. His application is mysteriously chewed up, whereupon he becomes tangled in a futuristic trip, mind-rending as well as hilarious."

Today’s stash includes the latest IDW “Star Trek” comic, “Discovery: Succession” #4, set in the Mirror Universe. Also or previews of cover art (in “Comic Shop News”) for the upcoming “‘Star Trek’ vs ‘Transformers’” mini-series. Appearances by Arex, M’Ress and Kali indicate that it will be in the style of the Filmation’s animated series of “Star Trek”, which is very cool!

Terra Incognita comic #2 by Ian McLean, on Flickr
Out this week: Issue #2 of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" mini-series featuring the Mirror Universe Barclay. This issue also features a one-page text tribute to the late Harlan Ellison, by Scott Tipton, who worked with Harlan's blessing to realise the IDW Comics' mini-series of the original "City on the Edge..." script as a comic adaptation.
I also happened upon some Eaglemoss hardcovers in my local gaming store: Marvel post-TMP reprints of the DC Comic series, plus the first English language omnibus of the Wildstorm TNG/DS9 crossover, "Divided We Fall".

Metallic sticker of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"/Lee Cole vintage, this United Federation of Planets seal promotes both Paramount Pictures and Pocket Books. Larger and shiner than the ones in the "Peel-Off Graphics Book".

Stopped being a completist about Star Trek books a while back, but when Aaron Reynolds of Swear Trek fame said he was getting a copy, it seemed wrong that there’d be one in Ottawa when I didn’t have it. So I have a copy of Michael Piller’s Fade In in print.
Just arrived Down Under!

Why do the Germans get the better covers? Didnt we beat them in the war?Just got 3 Trek novels from ebay today:
I much prefer some of the US covers, and especially the Keith Birdsong version of Captain Calhoun (based on Birdsong's neighbour), but the German publisher has the advantage of looking at the US edition's cover on shelves, monitoring worldwide collector reactions, and commissioning new art.
I have really appreciated the German covers featuring Arex, M'Ress, Janos, various Andorians and the warship Therin, of course.

Well apparently they learned from the war and beat the Americans with making better book covers
