Finished a Time to Hate and now I'm nearly finished book 1 of the Q Continuum. Must be set shortly after The Q and the Grey meaning that Starfleet wouldn't still know the fate of Voyager which explains all the jokes of them alluding to the Godmother but then they say outright that they are lost in the Delta Quadrant during the Barclay chapter.
Enjoyable book so far. I'm intrigued what that scamp Q did when he was younger to create the barrier. Star Trek V may provide a clue with the entity there as maybe a prison wall to keep some other entity outside. They also don't mention the psychic abilities you can get while transversing which I take to mean that it's highly classified within Starfleet.

Posted my review today of DS9 #23: The 34th Rule by Armin Shimerman & David R. George III.
Finished reading Fear by Bob Woodward today. Was a bit of a stressful read.
Started on DS9: Millennium, Book II of III: The War of the Prophets by Judith & Garfield Reeves Stevens.

I felt the same way about the Archer story. I also thought the Demora story was very good.
I finished ST: Prey Book 3: Hall of Heroes by John Jackson Miller (@JJMiller) on Tuesday and started The Dresden Files: Side Jobs by Jim Butcher. I read the first few stories last April/May, but stopped once I caught to where I was on the novels at the time. I've since read the next book, but didn't go around to getting back to it since I had been focusing on Trek and some other stuff since till now.
Obviously I'm not JD, but for me, yes the later books did get better but I think if you didn't really like the first one you probably aren't going to like the rest. If it was a case of thinking: this idea has promise but the execution isn't great,; then give the others a try because Butcher does get stronger with his writing
I was convinced by a friend to keep reading even though I didn't like the first two; what he said, and what I'll repeat, is that if you don't like book 3, the series is not for you. It does take a while to develop momentum. After reading 3, I marathoned all the rest, one right after the other. Great series.
I haven't marathoned the Dresden series yet, though I am midway through Grave Peril (number 3) for the first time at the moment. After this, I'm probably going to move on to the newest Strike novel, but I do have a few more of the Dresden series to work on at some point
Newest episode of Literary Treks is up! #243: An Upside-Down Tellarite Organ - Deep Space Nine: Millennium, Book I of III: The Fall of Terok Nor by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
Currently reading the followup, Book II: The War of the Prophets. Really engrossing so far!

well, it is ...Bleak
Just started Shadow of the Tomb Raider:Path of the Apocalypse by S. D. Perry
Star trek: Titan taking wing
Just posted my review of Captain's Blood by William Shatner with Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
Currently reading TNG: Ship of the Line by Diane Carey. I've never read it before, and I have to admit that the review thread here on TrekBBS has made me want to pick it up to form my own opinion. I have a feeling I'll be quite critical of it, but I definitely want to see for myself!

I'm not sure how well I can judge what you might think since I've loved the series since the first book, but it does really pick up in quality with the third and fourth books.
On Tuesday, I stopped reading the Dresden Files: Side Jobs short story anthology since I caught up to where I am in the novels, and I weet back another short story anthology ST: Voyager: Distant Shore. I actually read the first couple stories back in 2014, then a few more in June and July, and stopped once I caught up to where I was in the rewatch. Now I'm going to read the rest of the stories along with my rewatch. So far this time I've read Letting Go by Keith R.A. DeCandido (@KRAD), which was great, I really liked getting to see the effect Voyager's disappearance had on the people they left behind. Next up is James Swallow's Closure.
