Reading Marathon: The Typhon Pact... and Beyond!

[David cgc]

Wait, where can you get "The Dream Box"?

Someone scanned and transcribed a copy of the script with permission a while ago. The script is titled "The Nexus," but it's the same thing.

As far as it and "The Calling" go, I am trying to reach back and remember how everything fit together with the larger novelverse. I remember Alon Ghemor did still end up dead, but I think the plague Bashir (or "Bashir"?) cures didn't end up being quite as apocalyptic as presented, and I'm not sure if Bashir/"Bashir's" shadowy masters were tied in with his larger Section 31 plot, nor do I recall if that time Garek's associates tried to assassinate him by stranding him in the Hebetian version of an Orb experience and he willed himself back to Cardassia from across the quadrant came up again in any detail.

Star Trek gets wild sometimes, huh?

I'm partway into The Lotus Flower. I'm planning to do Never-Ending Sacrifice next (I know it's a bit of a side-trip, but I remember really liking it and haven't read it since it came out), then Crimson Shadow and Enigma Tales so I can appreciate what going on in Business when I make it there.

You might also want to take another look through Brinkmanship and The Missing. At least, that's what Eleta Preloc suggests.

I've read the first two chapters and the second epilogue (had to make sure it had a satisfying ending) of Business. The writing is some of the best Trek since The Missing and The Ashes of Tomorrow.

Looking forward to reading the end of this day's business and your review!
