New books - New New Frontier, New Starfleet Academy

[Therin of Andor]

Blind Man's Bluff is a much more interesting title. It's the name of a game with centuries of history (Henry the Eighth's courtiers reportedly played it). It's the name of a poker variant in which the player sees all the cards except one's own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_man's_bluff

In Australia (and UK?), Blind Man's Buff is also a kids' party game, where the person who is "It" gets blindfolded, spun around, and everyone else is in a circle, avoiding being caught by "It".

Yes, that's the game I was referring to in my second sentence. That game and the poker game referenced in my third sentence are two separate things. I should've made that clearer.

I for one don't mind seeing fewer of these one-word abstract titles.

Ruminations, Constipations, Revelations, yadda yadda.

They could borrow a page from old Doctor Who, and make sure every title had the words "Horror," "Terror," or "Blood" in them.

Resurrection of the Thallonians, Revenge of the Tholians, Attack of the Gorn, The Tzenkethi Strategem, Evolution of the Pakleds, Tomb of the Founders

could work...

Evolution of the Pakleds

No, thank you.

Oh, excellent. I haven't bought a Trek book since...well, the last New Frontier.

Something to look forward to.

Whooops! Well my skimming fails!

I'm pleased about this anywho, I can't stand the trade paperback format. Admittedly it wouldn't be so bad for these slimmer volumes (the giant floppy anthologies drive me bananas), but I always prefer hardcover on any size book, it's far more manageable, and looks so much nicer!
