Just posted my video review of Dayton Ward's Discovery: Drastic Measures. Really enjoyed this one!
Currently reading KRAD's TNG #61: Diplomatic Implausibility for an upcoming episode of Literary Treks, we're going to be launching into the I.K.S. Gorkon series soon. Wow, is it ever good! I blew through more than half of it yesterday. Really digging the Gorkon crew and this story in particular.

I just started Star Trek: A Time to Harvest last night. I'm about 3 chapters in, and boy does Wardilmore like to re-cap. Chapter 1 between Admirals Nechayev and Ross basically talked about everything that happened in the previous book.
I am still waiting on my New Earth books to arrive so I jumped into Elusive Salvation.
Trek fans: "I hate reading the novels, they're all interdependent and if you miss a book, you don't know what happened."
Also Trek fans: "I hate reading the novels, they always recap the other books that I've already read."
I'm sorry, indianatrekker26, I don't mean to pick on you here, but every book is someone's first. And just because someone read the previous book doesn't always mean they remember it.
Just posted my review of Voyager #15: Echoes by Dean Wesley Smith, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Nina Kiriki Hoffman. Really enjoyed this one, fits really well with the Voyager way of telling a story (in the good ways).
Blew through TNG #61: Diplomatic Implausibility by Keith R.A. DeCandido. Absolutely loved it. I think that's the fastest I've read a Trek novel, I just couldn't put it down. Amazed I waited this long to start on the Gorkon stuff.
Just started reading TNG #2: The Peacekeepers by Gene DeWeese. Not bad so far, only 5 chapters in, but he really captures the feeling of season one TNG.

Well it was more of a comment than a complaint, to be honest. I apologize I'd I came across in a negative way. I've really been enjoying the A Time to,, books.Trek fans: "I hate reading the novels, they're all interdependent and if you miss a book, you don't know what happened."

The peacekeepers is one of my favorite early TNG books. Are you going back to read the early TNG books?
For some reason, I didn't much care for that book the first time I read it, but I liked it much better the second time. I guess I just found a different perspective on its premise that finally made it work for me.
That one was moderately good, though it has some of the expected quirks of a novel written before the show premiered. For a while, I had a problem with its premise that subspace transporters were a novel technology that would allow interstellar beaming, because transporters were supposed to beam through subspace anyway. But then "Bloodlines" came along five or six years later and said that subspace transporters were a rarely-used technology allowing interstellar beaming, so there you go.
Honestly, it was kind of just a case of knowing I'd be done Diplomatic Implausibility that day, and having some time in between it and the next one I'd have to read for the podcast, so I randomly grabbed one off of my "not yet read" shelf. Wasn't planning on doing any kind of orchestrated read of the early stuff, but I figured I'd knock this one off my list!
I think I had a similar experience. I read it years ago and I kind of remember being underwhelmed. This time around, however, I quite enjoyed it, even with the dreaded reset button ending. Not sure why that didn't bug me more than it did, but it seemed to work with the story.
Finally got around to and finished the two volumes of Altman and Gross’s Fifty Year Mission. I really wish they could have balanced the books better. There is a metric crapton of books about TOS. There’s not nearly so much about the shows that followed it. Considering how troubled some of those shows were behind the scenes, I would have liked more pages on those less-covered series.
All of my New Earth books have arrived (went with used copies from thriftbooks), so I started Wagon Train to the Stars last night. Those should keep me busy.
The latest episode of Literary Treks is up! Following up on last week's Homecoming, we cover Voyager: The Farther Shore in Literary Treks 240: It Rings a Bit Holo.
I listened to an audiobook of Dune. I've always called it my favorite novel, but I almsot think that the overall Dune universe is better than just the first novel, is that makes any sense. The universe is just outstanding.
Now I'm listening to Relic by Alan Dean Foster. Its about the last Human and his search for Earth. Still reading House of Suns but I'm about 300 pages in and it's still sagging. I need to buckle down and finish.
