Giving Target by Mike Shepherd a go. I liked the Longknife series so thought I'd give the spin off a go.

Re-reading Pocket Treklit from the golden days. Finished Corona night before last — really good, but then I’ve been a fan of Greg Bear forever.
Read the beginning of The Final Reflection last night. It’s staggeringly good. I had to stop myself from reading the whole thing in one go, because I had early meetings this morning.
Here’s the thing I didn’t remember about TFR: I could easily imagine these events happening to Klingons in the “real” universe. Only the language and some cultural details are at odds with how TNG-era shows developed the Klingons. Utterly brilliant, and clearly influential.

Yeah, I have both Trot books from Dover; they were still in print as of a couple years ago when I bought them. My copies of the rest are a mix of Dovers (Ix, Mo) and Books of Wonder (Merryland, Master Key, Yew). Oh, and there's a Puffin of Santa Claus, I think.
“Black Fire,” by Sonni Cooper. It’s a trip!
I’m writing a review of it for the site I write for, and having a blast!I've read that book It really is a trip Spock as a space pirate.
Depending how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go, there’s a fanzine out there (Infinite Diversity #5) that has all the deleted/rewritten portions of Black Fire.
I had a lot of fun reading Black Fire and the cut scenes together a while back. Some of the weirdness of the final book is due to editorial changes. In other words, the original version made a smidgen more sense!
Current Trek read is Section 31: Rogue. Hadn't really intended to read it now but I just watched First Contact for the first time in a long time and thought why not? and requested it from the library. I'm also reading through the various Mirror Universe novels and stories.
Current non-Trek reads dominating my attention:

That is super helpful, thank you!
I’m working on a review and I’m always down for falling down a rabbit hole to get out of writing haha!
Ecclesiasticus. Which is not to be confused with Ecclesiastes; this is the apocryphal book of the writings of Jeshua ben Sirach. Who is not to be confused with Jesus of Nazareth.
I' m reading Perigee by Patrick Chiles it's been a really exciting rollercoaster ride of a novel A Space plane that gets sabotaged and ends up in space. The Astral Clipper needs it's pilots and passengers needs to bee rescued. The private space company and Nasa work together and it's very exciting Also put the puzzle pieces together to figure what happened to their space plane and the spies who were responsible.I can't put this book down.I'm looking forward to reading the other novels I got by by this author.

How Much for Just the Planet? I think this is my first time reading this one. I have absolutely NO recollection of this at all.
I'm enjoying it. It's less a laugh-riot than I was led to understand, but it's definitely amusing.

I reviewed that book last month. I nearly killed myself laughing:https://treksphere.com/book-reviews...ZaXas0Yj2nmmSv0Alzd81eZNGrKG2WcEIjEscfhrM7mt8
Oh, cool. I'm only about 1/3 through the book. I'll read your review once I finish.

Wasn't he a bullfrog? Or so I've heard.
never understood a single word he said.
It would seem that the late Hoyt Axton is having a Three Dog Night tonight.
