So What Are you Reading?: Generations

[Christopher]

For any question, there is always at least one painstakingly researched, logically consistent, wrong answer.

Which is why the key is to look for the answer that's been arrived at more than once, by multiple independent investigators. That's the point. Any one investigator can be led astray by some source of bias or error, but if multiple parties separately reach the same result, that increases the confidence in that result. This is why science demands that any result be independently verified by multiple parties.

At any rate, about to start Daniel (not about Daniel Striped Tiger, nor about his more animated grandson), with the apocryphal parts (Susanna, The Song of the Three Holy Children, and Bel and the Dragon) integrated in context.

Do you have to put up with other Bible fans complaining "But those books aren't canon"?

Finished Enigma Tales, DS9. The scenes involving Garak and Pulaski were outstanding. Bashir still in his catatonic state and we see some of Garak's daily business.

Exactly. We are once again in complete agreement. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I just finished up Star Trek: The Last Roundup by Christie Golden. This was an excellent bridge between The Undiscovered Country and Generations. The most notable part of the book to me was the new character Skalli. She was an example that the new generation coming up is going to be just fine without coming across as a Mary Sue type. It's great to get some bits with Chancellor Azetbur, a character who does not get a lot of page time in general.

Star Trek TOS Unspoken Truths by Margaret Wander Bonnano

 

[KRAD]

It's great to get some bits with Chancellor Azetbur, a character who does not get a lot of page time in general.

Three other sources of Azetbur material: Sarek by A.C. Crispin, The Lost Era: Serpents Among the Ruins by David R. George III, and especially the eBook Mere Anarchy: Its Hour Come Round by Margaret Wander Bonanno.

I have about 4 or 5 chapters to go on TOS: The Captain's Oath by Christopher L Bennett. Its been a fantastic read.

Those are all great stories.

I just started the TOS: Errand of Vengeance trilogy by Kevin Ryan. Pretty interesting so far, with this klingon undercover agent pretending to be a security officer aboard the Enterprise.

 

[Reanok]

Tos Errand of Vengence by Kevin Ryan is a good book The Klingon agent is a n intriguing character. The other books in the series are really good too.I reread them again a few years go.

The Gospel According to St. Matthew. (Lent is now just over 3/4 over.)

I finished up ST:VGR: Gateways: No Man's Land by Christie Golden last night. I really enjoyed it, a lot more than I expected.

Star Trek: A Ceremony of Losses by David Mack

Even though I knew where the story was headed on this second read, the journey to get there was still enjoyable. It's eerie how much Ishan is like certain parties in politics today. I guess the type is nothing new.

I could listen to Lense, Pulaski, and the others on Bashir's team all day long.

I started the last three issues of ST: Year Four: The Enterprise Experiment comic series, written by DC Fontanta and Derek Chester, with art by Gordon Purcell. I had originally started with the individual issues, which I got on Google Play, but those versions of #3 and #4 have errors in them, #3 has a duplicate page in it, and #4 has a page from #3 in it. I had originally just decided to read it that way as best I could, and hope I didn't miss significant in the missing pages, but then I decided to check the collection on Hoopla, and since that has all of the pages, I decided to just read that instead.

I'm between The Gospel According to St. Mark, and The Gospel According to St. Luke. And a reminder: The Gospel According to St. Luke has nothing to do with Star Wars (or General Hospital, for that matter), just as The Gospel According to St. John has nothing to do with David Warner's character in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
