Sounds like the premise from one of Charles Burns' self-described "Hard-Boiled Defective Stories." (I don't suppose there's anybody running around in a lucha libre mask, answering to the name, "El Borbah," is there?)
I finished a reread of Star Trek: Inception. I seem to be in the minority, but I thought it was outstanding in 2010, and it holds up today. It's refreshing to have most of the conflict come from being different people with different backgrounds and priorities.
Next up is a reread of Star Trek: The Captain's Oath.

The Jackal's Trick, Prey book 2. so far so good. I am also on Book 1 of the Dominion War.
Well, you've already read one infamous novel; if you want to go off on an "infamous novels" kick, the uncensored version of Killing Time would be the next logical step, followed by everything Marshack & Culbreath wrote. Although M&C might make your head explode.
I never posted when I finished Enemy Unseen last week sometime. Embrace the Wolf was pretty good, the whole thing with Redjac taking over the Enterprise and using Data's Sherlock Holmes program to recreate Victorian England was pretty fun. At first I was worried about it only being one issues, because I often find that one comic just isn't enough to tell a satisfactory story, but in this case it worked. The Killing Shadows was pretty good too, the Bodai Shin were interesting bad guys and was Picard and co. having to team up with Sela was pretty fun.
I also read through some of the latest issue of SFX magazine, which short pieces on Predator: Badlands and Stranger Things Season 5, and a big cover story on Strange New Worlds Season 3, and stories on The Sandman Season 2 and Jurrasic World Rebirth. Now that all that's done, I'm going to focus on finishing The Fall of Terok Nor and Leia, Princess of Alderaan.

And the "uncensored" KT is nothing shocking, despite its reputation. You probably wouldn't even notice anything controversial about it if you didn't know it had been recalled. At least, I'm pretty sure I had the original version, since I bought all the novels promptly back then, and I didn't notice anything shocking about it at the time. It was just a generally mediocre novel.
That was my experience as well.
I eventually found out which one I had (the uncensored version) and just now, I looked up the details of what had been changed, and it was hardly worth censoring, even with the sensibilities of four decades ago.

I am happy to hear that, as I picked this up from a library sale on spec years ago but only heard negative things.
Bech: a Book
Hi, I’m new to commenting on here. Last month I read Star Wars:Children of the Jedi which I really enjoyed even though it’s got a rather negative reputation maybe it feels more like a Star Trek adventure with Star Wars characters in it. Then Doctor Who Freida Khalo and the Skull Children, a fun little novella that easily could have fitted into the middle of the Jodie era, there’s some interesting critiques of AI in there as well with its desperate hunger for experiences.
I then read the first volume of Man-Kizin wars I really enjoyed the second story with good planetary surveying but the third story has some very weird sexual elements. Then I then read Stephen Baxter’s The Raft.

Welcome!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Re-reading SCE: Creative Couplings. Kind of ironic, that a novella in that volume, wherein Captain Gold calls somebody a mamzer, has the same title as a book by a mamzer.
I had the chance to read Farewell Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. What it sets out to do is leave a record of what the farewell tour was all about and some of the most memorable occasions of that tour and some of the previous concerts that Elton was involved in. It achieved that aim pretty well, and the photography included was fantastic. It's highly recommended for any fans of his flamboyant costumes over the years.
I keep hoping to find a touring book that goes much more in depth about the decisions and logistics that go into putting on a major concert and touring production. I want to know about the musical choices (set list, chances for improvisation, arrangements), lighting, live sound, rigging, etc. If anyone knows of something like this, please shout it out here.
I am also enjoying books in the All the Songs series for The Beatles and Prince. Previous books I have enjoyed in this line were for Metallica and Queen.
