RE: Perchance to Dream, question for KRAD

[foravalon]

So with all the nifty TNG books out of late, I find I'm way behind in the current-continuity, with the end of the semester here, I've gone on a power-reading binge. I've finally just completed the Time to... series, (which was excellent much to my delight! Mack and KRAD you guys especially rock!) and I find myself now finally reading "Perchance to Dream" before embarking on my next literary voyage.

I'm a little more than half-way through and I had a question about the visions that Troi is having under the influence of the Chova. Who's the angry guy with the funny ears that zaps Deanna? They're on some world with 2 reddish suns, but if, like the 2-d critters from "The Loss", this is a reference to some actual event in a book or other comic or something, it's lost on me. It wasn't mentioned in the annotations in the letter col, and I don't have a clue.

Also are all three sexes of the Damiano meant to have amply prominent breasts or is that just a curiosity of Pachoumis's pencils?

Thanks for any help guys, now off on my next voyage!

Now whether that be toward Articles of the Federation, the Titan series, A Death in Winter, the remainder of the Vulcan's Soul Trilogy, a return to catching up with the S.C.E[/i], continuing with Vanguard, finally reading New Frontier's Missing in Action (and maybe finding out what the hell Tania Tobias's secret problem is! No spoilers if you've got 'em!), continuing my trip through the Rihannsu epic, or jumping into The Hand of Kahless and the Gorkon books now that Keith has got me yearning for more Klingon lore after ATfW,ATfP, (frak, thanks a lot Keith, one more distraction!) it's anyone's guess. My employer thinks I read too much, from the look of this, I'm not reading enough, fortunately or unfortunately there are even more trek titles on my to read next pile than those.

"The Adventure Continues..."


p.s. What's this Malibu crowd that everyone keeps mentioning?

Thanks! :thumbsup:

It wasn't anything in particular, it was just meant to be a generic away team mission. In fact, I just dug up the script, and here's the description of that panel: "Troi, still surrounded by her empathy balloons, on SOME ALIEN WORLD OR OTHER, conversing with SOME ALIEN BEING OR OTHER. The alien is armed with some kind of blaster."

No, just two of the sexes. And yeah, Pete tended toward pulchitrudinous mammaries, didn't he?

You're very welcome.

We'd tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.

Oooh yes. I'm guessing that it's the "he" and "it" genders since both R'ach and Da'v look fairly trim, while Du're and Je'tran are rather... well-endowed.

I hear you D'av, good-Ho'nig!

As for the Malibu gang, new Illuminati? And are we ever going to hear the fateful tale behind the Lubbockian slime devil, or do we have to start looking under rocks in Lubbock TX?

But anyway, thanks for the scoop on Deanna's mystery-date, Keith, and Happy Holidays to you and Terri!

For now, The Hand of Kahless is up to bat, I figure some Ford and Friedman should warm me up nicely for some Klag and Kavrot! !



P.S. Thanks for throwing in the Casablanca reference from "We'll Always Have Paris" into ATfW,ATfP, stylistically perfect for shadowy meetings! But what exactly happened in the Corwin system in 2232? Is this another thing like that SOME ALIEN, some kind of blaster thing, or will it forever be a mystery like...

"the declassified portions of Commander Vaughn's mission to Alexandra's Planet, which, like Picard's own Iconian experience, also involved the Romulans"

Thanks for all the fun guys, Qapla' !

^Hey, are you Lubbock? Me too. Small universe, huh?

In regards to Troi's balloons, are we talking real balloons or . . . uh, never mind.

 

[Anubis]

Man, this was the first Trek novel I ever read. I don't remember a damn thing about it!

 

[KRAD]

^ Er, we're not talking about a novel. You're thinking of Howard Weinstein's novel of the same name. The subject under discussion here is a four-issue comic book I wrote, with art by Peter Pachoumis, published by WildStorm in 1999/2000.

Bloody hell, where's my head at? Sorry KRAD, I'll have to check out the comic.

No worries.....

I had thought the same thing originally.

*This* Perchance to Dream was a lot better than the other one, extraneous mammary glands and all.
