So What Are you Reading?: Generations

[JD]

Anybody here read the paper version of The Enterprise Experiment Part 4? The digital version I have has one page from the Kirk flashback in issue 3 in the middle of the McCoy flashback in issue 4. I also checked the digital version on Hoopla and it's the same way. So is this just an error that ended up in both versions or that supposed to be there?

That doesn't happen in the trade paperback, at least. It's possible it was an error in the standalone issue that was fixed for the trade, or it could be only in the digital version.

It's not the firs time I've run into this in TEE, the Google version of part 3 had a page duplicated that took the place of the proper page, but that one wasn't in the Hoopla version.
So what's on the second page of the McCoy flashback? That's the one the digital version replaced with the Kirk page.
EDIT: There was another page from #3 later in the book, so I just give up at this point. I'm now reading Fatal Error by @KRAD, the second SCE novella, in the first paperback omnibus, Have Tech, Will Travel.

Now that I'm caught up again on the current novels I decided to start reading the Gorkon books. I just started "A Good Day to Die". I was glad I previously read "Diplomatic Implausibility" a month or so ago.

I have a question for anyone that read them all. I didn't realize this but "The Brave and the Bold" book 2 is also a Klag story and it's another one of those books I seemed to have failed to pick up. I'm going to get it but should I wait to read "A Good Day to Die" until I read "The Brave and the Bold?" Sometimes the impact of a prior story is minimal, but sometimes it's better to read them in order.

KRAD does a good job of filling in what you need to know in A Good Day to Die. The main thing I remember is that Klag ended up without a first officer again at the end of the Brave and the Bold story. If you've already started A Good Day to Die and are not confused, I would recommend reading through Honor Bound and then reading The Brave and the Bold as a flashback story before Enemy Territory. The other adventures in The Brave and the Bold are also pretty cool.

New Literary Treks episode is up, in which Bruce and I discuss TNG: Vendetta by Peter David:
Literary Treks 283: Everyone's Tilting at Windmills. We had fun with this episode, covering one of the greats of the Star Trek book line!

Re-reading Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter.

 

[Starbreaker]

I read quite a bit last month. The Institute, Elevation, Christine, and Duma Key by Stephen King.

I'm currently a third of the way through TNG: Collateral Damage by David Mack. I'm really enjoying it so far. After that I plan to read the series of Discovery books that have come out so far. I got all 5 books off Amazon for some pretty good deals.

 

[John Clark]

Just about to the end of the first Op-Center novel.

 

[Desert Kris]

Right now I'm making my way through Beat to Quarters/The Happy Return, the first novel in the Hornblower series (in publication order). I had a slow start, but it seems pretty well written, and the nautical terminology isn't scaring me off so far. The internet is a huge help in that regard.

I just finished reading The Long Sunset by Jack McDevitt. It's really good. There's a government science advisor who wants to cut funding for Space Exploration. Astronomers have found a new planet called Calliope and wanted a spaceship to do scientific exploration to find the planet. The crew defies orders like Captain did in Star trek 3 . The science advisor Zhang orders the mission canceled. They find Dolphinlike aliens who need their help. And another alien race called the Tarkins who agrees to help them and Earth too. It's a complicated story but worth reading.

I just finished of ST: SCE: Fatal Error by @KRAD in the first paperback SCE omnibus Have Tech, Will Travel, and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it, it definitely makes me miss having KRAD as one of our regular Trek authors.
After that I borrowed the e-book version of the IDW rerelease of the TNG comic book collection Unseen Enemy, which collects three of the old Wildstorm TNG comics, Perchance to Dream, Embrace the Wolf, and The Killing Shadows. Perchance to dream is written by KRAD, with pencils by Peter Pachoumis & Scott Benefiel, Embrace the Wolf is written by Christopher Golden & Tom Sniegoski, with pencils by Dave Hoover, and The Killing Shadows is written by Scott Ciencin, with pencils by Andrew Currie. I read all of these comics individually on the comics DVD years ago, but I don't remember them, so I decided to read them again.
