So What Are you Reading?: Generations

Starting to read the post-finale Enterprise books.

I've just finished reading the four enterprise novels The Good That Men Do, Kobiyashi Maru, Beneath the Raptors Wing and To Brave the Storm.

id read mixed reviews of these books, particularly the romulan war duology, but I actually really enjoyed them, particularly the retcon of Trip. it did feel like we should have had a conclusion to the framing story from the first two books.

Next I plan on diving into Rise of the Federation.
 
It takes awhile to get into The Articles of the Federation but once you do the story gets really good I really Nan Bracco Presidency is dealt with in this story. I'm now reading The Cat who dropped a bombshell by Lilian Jackson Braun.
 
Finished reading Comeback by Richard Stark, which was in an anthology alongwith another of his, Flashfire. This always leaves me in a dilemma when standalones are anothologised like that - do I go read something else, cos I've finished that book, or have to read the other one because I've only gone throuh *half* the (physical) book? I mean, if they were actually linked in their plots, that's one obvious answer, but standalones...
 
Just finished "Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures". Overall not bad, though I actually found the characters a bit flat compared to the preceeding books. And there was a definite feeling of " small-world" syndrome - All these people Enterprise ran into before just happen to know each other and have teamed up.
 
Finished off The Latter Fire (which was awesome!), and I've started in on Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey. The first in the Expanse series of novels.
 
I'm trying to finish reading I Jedi by Micheal A. Stackpole . So I can start reading Pocket full of lies by Kirsten Beyer.
 
Going through the Angel In The Whirlwind series by Chris Nuttall. I've finished The Oncoming Storm and have moved on to Falcone Strike.
 
I finished up the third volume in the Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths series. I think it's the last volume, but I kind of hope it isn't, there are a lot of elements of the movie's backstory they didn't cover. I was hoping it would at least lead of the creation of The Prophecy, if not right up to the Gelfling genocide and the births of Jen and Kira, but they only covered a little bit after the origins of the Skesis and the Mystics.
 
I've just started reading Christopher's newest Enterprise novel, Live By The Code. I've only just started, but i'm liking it already. I was so happy to find it on the shelves early! After Kirsten's Voyager, Christopher's Rise of The Federation is the next best thing happening in Treklit. Hopefully his TOS novel doesn't get in the way of another volume coming our way next year!
 
I am currently reading Rogue Saucer. Bit of a curious one this as I have heard people mentioning it here a few times and have pften been curious about it. Was browsing through my archived books on my Kindle the other day and found it there. But I have no memory of reading it! So either I read it and completely forgot I had or I bought it and archived it by mistake before reading it.

Anyhoo am reading it now and I forgot how these numbered novels clip along at quite a pace. Things happen much quicker in these novels than they do in the current books.
 
I wrapped up TNG: Masks by John Vornholt yesterday. Still a great read after all these years. Up next in my chronological read-through, which i started this morning: TNG: A Call to Darkness by Michael Jan Friedman. I've always loved all of Mr. Friedman's writing of Trek. But then i basically grew up on his writing through the DC comics TNG run from 1989 - 1995, which he basically wrote all of, except for an issue here and there.
