Reading 'Stitch in Time' (I'm about 33% through) and it is excellent. I just has a bit of trouble keeping up with all the number-designated characters in the early part of the book. :p Mr. Robinson is really one of those actors who trully love their character and are able to come up with complex backstories for them, and the book gives wonderful insights into not just Garak, but Cardassian society in general. :techman:

"A Stitch in Time" is quite possibly my favourite novel, and that isn't limited to Star Trek books. I don't think any other novel has touched me personally the way ASIT did. :)
 
I finished Unity and the Left Hand of Destiny (pts. 1 and 2). I'm now beginning Worlds of Deep Space Nine volume 1.
 
A time for war, a time for peace by KRAD. - So far it's excellent (as per usual) and I can't put it down:)
 
I spent my entire $25 Borders gift card today to pick up "Losing the Peace", "The Soul Key" and "Full Circle." As soon as my summer school semester winds down in a couple of weeks, I'll have the free time to start reading them. I wasn't sure about buying "Full Circle"... the VOY relaunch thusfar has been such a failure that I wasn't sure I wanted to jump on that bandwagon. But the change in author, and the positive reviews, turned me around.

I hope you really enjoy it. I was never even a big voyager fan to begin with, but I loved that book. I can't wait for the next voyager book, still can't believe im saying that.
 
Just finished Soul Key; next up is the new book by China Mieville, The City & The City. Looks fabulous.
 
Finally got around to reading Brad Ferguson's unpublished original version of his Star Trek: The Lost Years novel A Flag Full of Stars (review here), and I'm now about two-thirds of the way through The Soul Key.
 
A novel by Kage Baker called In The Garden of Iden. I'm enjoying it immensely. The premise is a bit complicated, let me see if I can explain it simply:

Dr. Zeus, Inc. is a "Company" from the 24th century that's invented time travel and immortality; the latter is achieved by making someone into a cyborg. The method of time travel used is such that you can't travel into the future, only into the past and back to your present, nor can you bring anything from the past into the future. Recorded history cannot be altered, either. The Company, however, has been "rescuing" extinct species of animals and plants, lost masterpieces from great artists, etc. They do this by sending agents back in time to take people native to history, making them immortal, and using them as operatives to secretly preserve specimens so they can be "rediscovered" in the 24th century.

This first book in the series is about Mendoza, a young girl from 16th-century Spain who is rescued by the Company from the Inquisition and made into one of these operatives. Like I said, I'm enjoying it a lot.
 
The Company novels are fantastic, especially In the Garden of Iden and The Graveyard Game. I never did get around to reading the last two novels for some reason, though.

"In the Garden of Eden" was interesting. After that I tried to read "Sky Coyote", emphasis on "tried", I had to abort it after roughly a hundred pages, one of the most idiotic stories I have ever read, combined with a more than boring way of writing.

Sky Coyote is probably my least favorite in the series.
