So What Are you Reading?: Generations

[Cyfa]

Just downloaded Lost To Eternity by Greg Cox to my kindle - very excited about this one! (What have Saavik and Gillian Taylor been getting up to?)

As I said, I'm 3 chapters into Lost to Eternity.

I'm also thirty chapters into reading my own opus for continuity, flow, grammar, understandability, &c., and as I get into chapters that have never had that treatment before, it's becoming increasingly necessary to fix things. Including a few that somehow never made it out from between my ears.

I'm a bit over halfway through Greg Cox's Lost to Eternity.

And I'm still reading my own novel for continuity, readability, and clarity, and I'm getting into chapters that have never before seen hardcopy, let alone had this done.

 

[Greg Cox]

Current reading: HOW TO MAKE A HORROR MOVIE AND SURVIVE by Craig DiLouie.

A novel, to be clear. Not an instructional manual.

 

[Faldor]

I'm currently reading The Mercy Of Gods by James SA Corey, I'm enjoying it abd it's very different to The Expanse.

I finished a reread of Star Trek: The Eternal Tide by Kirsten Beyer. This is still an amazing story on multiple levels. When they started talking about making changes that took effect at the dawn of time, I found the cosmic concepts a little harder to follow, but I just went with it and looked for the characters to explain what I really needed to know.

I also read The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia, which is in the same line as Art and Artifacts and Hyrule Historia. All three are terrific books for Zelda fans or those who want conversation pieces.

Currently rereading: Star Trek: Synthesis by James Swallow

 

[Cyfa]

I finished Lost to Eternity by Greg Cox a couple of nights ago, and started a re-read of (and laugh with) Lower Decks: USS Cerritos Crew Handbook

 

[Greg Cox]

Today's (belated) comic book haul: BLOOD HUNTERS #1 (with Hallow's Eve) and WEREWOLF BY NIGHT.

 

[Paul Belcher]

I am currently reading Star Trek Vanguard Harbinger by David Mack. I'm pleased to be transported off with these new characters

You're in for a treat! Vanguard for me is peak Trek Lit

I've just finished Dragon Of The Veil by Nick Snape. It's the start of a new fantasy series.

 

[Smiley]

Synthesis still holds up as a fine Trek story where trust and cooperation are more important than the size of their torpedoes in resolving a situation.

I'm halfway through my Rise Like Lions reread. Mack mixes the darkness of the alternate universe with some of the vibes of the Foundation series, and he makes incredible use of the Trek characters and setting.

One benefit of getting older and having the brain retain less/different details is that something can surprise you again. In this case, it was the present tense chapter featuring the Cardassians. Wow!

Pack of Lies, an urban fantasy by Laura Anne Gilman.

(Small world: Laura Anne edited my XENA book decades ago.)

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

Just finished a charity newsletter, at home, one I wasn't planning on reading on public transportation. And on my lunch breaks at work, I'm near the end of the July/August 2024 Smithsonian.

ST-wise, recently finished Higher Frontier and Lost to Eternity. Enjoyed both, but especially the latter because of how it managed the absolute chaos ST IV would have left in its wake Was intriuged by the lack of any mentions to the Bell Riots, considering it was set in contemporary Frisco. . Beginning Firewall.

Otherwise, just finished a history of St. Petersburg and will be tackling a study of Pompeii by Mary Beard.

Was intriuged by the lack of any mentions to the Bell Riots, considering it was set in contemporary Frisco.

Those are still 11 days in our future -- September 1, 2024. If the novel is set before then, naturally there'd be no mention of the riots, though one might expect a reference to the Sanctuary Districts, at least (as there were in Picard season 2).

Lately, it's looking as if DS9 may have guessed right about the timing of a new movement for social change and reform taking hold, but been overly pessimistic about what was required to trigger it.

I'm still nodding and laughing through Lower Decks: USS Cerritos Crew Handbook (something I missed or forgot the first time through is a comment by Boimler about how the windows on the Cerritos are the wrong size - one of the very, very few things that bugs me a little about LDS

) and have started a re-read of Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures by the gentleman above, Christopher L. Bennett.
