So What Are you Reading?: Generations

Finished Nicholas Meyer's THE ADVENTURE OF THE PECULIAR PROTOCOLS in one sitting last night.

Trek fans take note that there's actually a reference to STAR TREK: DISCOVERY in the introduction, the conceit being that Meyer was working on DISCO when he gets word of a previously-undiscovered manuscript by the late John H. Watson in need of editing . . . .
 
Been rereading some of the original CONAN stories by Robert E. Howard: "Red Nails," "Rogues in the House," "Queen of the Black Coast," etc.
 
Star Trek: Double Helix: Infection

About three quarters of the way through. Much better than I was expecting.
 
I finished up the novelization of Solo: A Star Wars Story last night, and next I'm going to start the digital collection of The Flash (New 52) Vol. 4: Reverse written by Francis Manpul and Brian Bucellato, with art by Francis Manapul, Scott Hepburn, Chris Sprouse, Karl Story, and Keith Champagne.
 
I just got a handful of graphic novels including Paper Girls vol.5 & 6, Manifest Destiny vol.6, Lazarus vol.5, and Moonshine vol.2. I'm gonna work my way through them before I re-read the Picard "autobiography" before the 23rd. I know that the bio will be different from the show, but it doesn't matter :)
 
I'm reading Heroes of the space age . The biographies of people who were important to the different space missions. Buzz Aldrin's story was really good.Gene Krantz's story too dealing with the Apollo 13 crisis from his point of view was really intriguing.
 
I just started the final book in my Day of Honor Omnibus, DS9: "Honor Bound" which I understand was one of the young adult novels. I never picked any of those up so this will be a unique read for me. Since I'm well past the 'young adult' stage ;) I probably wouldn't have picked this one up, but since it's in my omnibus I'll give it a read.

I'm also got "The Brave and the Bold" for Christmas so I'm going to start reading those. I read the first two Gorkon books before reading this so it'll be interesting when I get to the Klag part of the book what the two Gorkon books were referring to here in more detail (another poster suggested I read this before reading the 3rd Gorkon book).
 
If memory serves, there is something fun with Spock and Worf near the end of the duology. KRAD's character choices and explorations throughout make this a very fun read for me.

I'm only on chapter 2 and it already feels like it's going to be an epic story. Of course it also spans all 5 of the then live action series in some form (even including an introductory chapter from Enterprise). Usually those tend to be epic stories.
 
The last Trek novels I read, or rather listened to, were The Antares Maelstrom and The Way to the Stars. Both were fantastic. It's been a few years now since I've really been able to sit down and read as much as I'd like, so the decision that Trek audiobooks were viable again has been a most welcome one.

Because of that, I'm waaaaaay behind on the post-Nemesis books since The Fall, the last ones I'd read being Takedown, The Missing, The Light Fantastic (thank god Jeffrey Lang's back!) and an aborted attempt at Armageddon's Arrow (just couldn't get into it, sorry Dayton!). I wish there was a voice-synthesizer program that was good enough I could plug the ebooks into and at least have a tolerable "audiobook" version, but the technology isn't advanced enough yet. Anyhow, I'm reading as I'm able, though it's slow going. Thanks to the All-Mighty TrekLit flowchart, I've kinda figured out where I need to be, and now I'm on Lust's Latinum Lost (and Found).
 
I'm rereading Star Trek Voyager Architects of Infinity by Kirsten Beyer. I hope someday we'll finally have the sequel novel to Save the Earth come out this year.
 
I finished up The Flash Vol. 4: Reverse a little while ago, I'm not sure what full novel I'm going to read next. Before I start my next book, I was going to check out a free sample of @Greg Cox's The Librarians tie-in novel The Librarians and the Lost Lamp.
