    That's because I stopped reading two books at the same time. And Fußball WM is long-since over. And I'm not so lethargic anymore....:D :klingon:

    I finished reading Star Trek Tos Disinherited by Peter david, Micheal Jan Friedman an Robert Greenberger . I like the fact it was a character driven story. I thought it was areally good story. I'm now re-reading Star Trek TNG Intellevore by Diane Duane.

    I'm currently reading Well of Souls. It's interesting to read about another Captain, Rachel Garrett. Unfortunately she didn't live long enough. But she is cherished by the Klingons.
    In the Prey novels the Enterprise C was mentioned for what happened at Narrendra III. So I wanted to get to know Captain Garrett a little bit better.
    I like the Lost Era novels. I hope there will be more of them one day.

    Well of Souls was sort of a mixed bag for me. There were some great things and some not so great things about it. I liked several of the crew and found their backstories interesting. The plots were intriguing, but there was too much going on to properly wrap up in one book. The captain seemed...unpleasant.

    There were also some parts where I had no idea what was going on in the story. Not plot wise necessarily; I just couldn't understand what the author was describing on the page. I had the same problem with one of the her short stories in one of the anthologies.


    I read two Captain's Table books: The Mist, and Fire Ship. Ive just started a Strange New Worlds book. I wish the SNW anthologies had a higher percentage of DS9 stories.

    If I'm not mistaken there was a poster of the cover arts (without any text I think) which you got if you ordered the books via CC's own online shop.

    The Dominion War: Book One.
    I finally get to see what the main ship was doing during that time. I always did find it odd that they were never mentioned in DS9.

    I finished up Gunmetal Magic at work today, and started the digital edition Star Wars: Poe Dameron Vol1.: Black Squadron, written by Charles Soule, and art by Phil Noto. The first issue also features the backup story, SaBBotage, written and drawn by Chris Eliopoulos.

    Still working to catch up on my reviews! Yesterday, I published my review of Voyager: The Farther Shore by Christie Golden. Sadly, I was pretty unimpressed. A lot of good ideas, but the execution was not enjoyable and there was a lack of follow-through. All in my opinion, of course.

    Our Literary Treks interview with David Tilotta and Curt McAloney has been delayed a few days, so I'm taking my time with their book, Star Trek: Lost Scenes. There's so much here, I'm really loving how it's laid out. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite reference books.

    Dominion War: Book 3. Was going to read book 2 but it just seemed to be recaps of DS9 episodes.

    ^ You may have already read them but Tales of the Dominion War and The Battle of Betazed are both worth a look if you are looking for more TNG Dominion War stories.

    I read the last two IKS Gorkon books, and Ceremony of Losses.

    Moving to some non Trek stuff next with The Good Soldier and The House of Silk.

    With the monthly sales looking like they are over, it opened up my wallet to other books that have caught my eye in the past that I have added to my wishlist. First one is The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard

    Books 3 and 4 are novelizations of the Dominion War arc, so there's a lot more to them than just recaps.
