So What Are you Reading?: Generations

Werewolves are visions, but only illusions, and werewolves have nothing to hide.
Only when the Moon is full, though. The rest of the time, they have plenty to hide. (And you know, if you don’t find stargazing amazing and therefore don’t bother looking up unless there’s a rainbow, you’ll never know when it’s time to hide from the werewolves.)
 
I finished TNG: Perchance to Dream in Enemy Unseen at work today, and I really enjoyed it. It reminded me why @KRAD is one of my favorite Trek authors. After that I took a break from Enemy Unseen and read Lower Decks #8, then I read the one-shot TNG: Embrace the Wolf also in Enemy Unseen. Now I'm working on TNG: The Killing Shadows, the last part of Enemy Unseen. Embrace the Wolf was written by Chritopher Golden & Tom Sniegoski, with Pencils by Dave Hoover, inks by Troy Hubbs & Jason Martin with assists by Christy Stock, Colors by Jeromy Cox, and letters by Naghemeh Zand. The Killing Shadows in written by Scott Ciencin, with Pencils by Andrew Currie, inks by Bryan Hitch, Chris Chuckry & Digital Chameleon, Colors by Wildstorm FX, Chris Chuckry & Digital Chameleon, and letters by Naghmeh Zand.
 
Hmm. Why are there so many werewolf novels, but hardly any wifwolf novels?
Hmm. It just occurred to me that for all I know, a wifwolf novel might be a total bitch to write.

And just what drugs would the werewolves be running in The Werewolf Connection? And would those drugs have anything to do with lycanthropy?

Be that as it may, I'm now finishing the April/May 2026 Smithsonian. Kind of a pity that they've cut back to less-than-monthly, but then again, I've seen far too many magazines fold outright. I think probably the only monthlies left, at least among what I read, are the ones that deal with model trains. Hmm. I'm surprised that, given the sheer size of ST, that nobody has mentioned model trains, canonically or otherwise, even as just a throwaway bit.
 
I've been getting back into Trek, but lately I've been reading Spock, Messiah! - what an odd novel. Suppose it was easier to get away with something like this back in the early days of Trek.
Yes, it was. Fun exercise in world-building, but the tech was a bit implausible, and there was way too much sexist drivel.

@Greg Cox, are you on some kind of a lycanthropy kick?
 
Star Trek as not just any bodice-ripper, but a supermarket porn bodice ripper. Too bad Harlequin doesn't have the rights.

Still, nothing wrong with the world-building.
 
When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy.

From Nightfire, Tor's new(ish) horror imprint.
Yes, it was. Fun exercise in world-building, but the tech was a bit implausible, and there was way too much sexist drivel.

@Greg Cox, are you on some kind of a lycanthropy kick?

In general, I almost always am, to some degree. Heck, I've written at least four werewolf novels and also coedited a werewolf anthology for Baen Books back in the day. (And I'll cop to writing some WEREWOLF BY NIGHT fanfic in high school.)

Specifically, yeah, I'm currently doing revisions on a big werewolf novel due out next year, so I'm getting back into that groove on purpose.
