So What Are you Reading?: Generations

I saw the cover of that book posted just the other day on Facebook and I was trying to come up with some kind of joke involving Dr. Keniclius, but it never quite came together.

We name drop Keniclius in the episode, I couldn't really come up with a satisfactory joke though, either. :lol:
 
I'm rereading Watching the Clock by Christopher L. Bennett. After the first four chapters, I am impressed with the balancing act between the solid character work for Dulmur, Lucsly, and Garcia, the science and Trek science of time travel, connecting to various Trek episodes, and being accessible to all types of readers.

So far, my reading year has been pretty lackluster. The exceptions have been Resistance Reborn and a reread of Kenobi. Thankfully, Watching the Clock is joining that group of exceptions and holding up to my memories of reading it in the early 2010's.
 
I've finished Last Best Hope (very much enjoyed it) and instead of diving into another trek book, probably Shadows on the Sun or Fearful Summons next, I've moved onto Scar Night by Alan Campbell which so far is a fairly enjoyable mythical fantasy, typical demons and angels what have you in a dark setting. It's not exactly standing out but it's definitely readable.
 
I started working my way through the individual issues of Mirror Images, IDW's Mirror Universe ST: TOS comic miniseries. The first issue was a physical comic I bought back when it first came out, while the rest are all digital. I read the first one not long after it came out, but never got around to reading the res of the series until now.
It was written by David and Scott Tipton, with art by David Messina. The Tiptons and Messina is one of my favorite writer/artist teams from IDW, and this was another good one from them. The main arc, which is in #1 and 2, and #4 and 5, follows Kirk and Pike coming into conflict over the command of the Enterprise, and I really enjoyed it. The plotting and counter plotting was a lot of fun, with them both using different members of the against each other, and otsome nice little twists. David Messina's art was outstanding like usual. I'm working my way through # 3 right now, this one jumps forward to show how the MU Picard became captain of the ISS Starbreaker (the Stargazer's counterpart).
 
After my other post I finished the third Mirror Images issue, which I thought was just as good as the rest. It was just a single issue story, so it obviously wasn't as deep as the other 4 issue arc, but what was there was good.
After finishing that, I was in the mood for more comics, so I started Superman: Secret Origin, which is written by Geoff Johns, with art by Gary Frank. I'm part way into the second issue, and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Secret Origin! Love that, definitely top 3 supes for me I think I'd go All Star Superman - Grant Morrison, Man of Steel (Byrne not Bendis :lol:) and then Secret Origin. Also shout out to Birthright by Waid which is a great origin.
 
Had a quick read of the Buck Rogers novelisation by Addison Steele, but now it's The Good Doctor by Juno Dawson.
 
I finished up Superman: Secret Origin, which I loved. I've now started the last section of Star Trek: The Badlands Book 2 by Susan Wright. I actually read the first section back June, and I had originally set it aside for a little while I read one or two other things, and then completely forgot about it until a week or two ago.
 
Had to drop Scar Night which I loathe doing but it was just beyond boring, felt like a chore to read. I did manage to push to halfway through but it was clearly a non-starter not just a slow burner, anyway I thought back to Star Trek and having a break from TOS and continuing with my introduction to Picard in Last Best Hope I'd see what he was up to in the litverse and start the Cold Equations series, not a typical jumping on point but I got them on sale :hugegrin:
 
MADBALL by Fredric Brown: a lurid 1953 pulp novel about sex, money, and murder at a traveling carnival--by the author of Trek's "Arena" no less.

(Could've sworn I posted this already, but I don't see it here. Maybe I posted it in the wrong thread?)
 
Currently midway through Scars by Chris Wraight.

So far, it's a little less focused on who I thought it would be, but we'll see how it goes.
 
MAPLECROFT by Cherie Priest. The further adventures of Lizzie Borden, demon-slayer.
That sounds interesting but I can't seem to find much info about Lizzie Borden outside her real life namesake online and the rest of the books in that ''Borden Dispatches'' series on goodreads, which books would you recommend?
