So what are you reading now? Part 2

[AdmiralSteven]

Hey everyone,

I'm kind of reading (I'll explain in a minute) a Star Wars book, “Shield of Lies: book 2 of the Black Fleet Crises.” So I don't burn myself out of one genre or the other, I alternate between Star Trek and Star Wars. I actually did this a couple of years ago while reading Bernard Cornwell's Sharp Series. At one point I read something like 6 books in just under 2 months, and as a result I eventually stopped reading the series…I still haven’t finished the series. Anyways, that’s what I’m reading now. Oh, I did just get done listening to Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code” on audio CD…very good book. I’m trying to find some of the Klingon books I asked about in an earlier thread, I’m going to wind up going online for these, and will hopefully start reading some of those as soon as I get a couple. Have fun everyone

In the climaxed part of Exiles when Riker, Data, and Lopez are on an alien spacship thier shuttle trapped and she falls down a shaft when the ladder breaks. EXILES #14 of Star Trek: The Next Generation. By Howard Weinstein. Mr. Roddenberry has a quote on it to congratulate Howard "on a highly entertaining and very socially relevant story." I really like this book. While ignoring my girlfrined and eng 102 paper!!

I just finished 'The Eye of the Beholders' and currently reading 'Fearful Symmetry'...

I just picked up Recovery and New Frontier Book One (to see if Selar actually adopted the Andorian girl, Thala)....

I just picked up Recovery and New Frontier Book One (to see if Selar actually adopted the Andorian girl, Thala)....

There's no continuity between Eyes of the Beholders and New Frontier. Thala does not appear in NF, and there's no mention of Selar ever leaving Starfleet to raise a child. At the time NF began, continuity among books was basically nonexistent; NF as an ongoing series was one of the first changes to that policy, but only because it had continuity within itself. So don't expect references to earlier standalone books, except for the occasional element from some of PAD's own earlier works.

I am finished Murder In Mesopotamia and back to Trek; I am reading Over a Torrent Sea and so far it is fantastic! I have loved that the recent novels are so well written. I have been reading Trek since the '80s as a teenager and was turned off of it a little in the '90s and had stopped reading it for a few years but the latest books have brought me back to the fold!!

 

[Admiral_Young]

Trek Wise I just finished reading The Soul Key which I enjoyed. Waiting eagerly for Enterprise: Beneath The Raptor's Wing.

 

[KirkSpockTOSFan]

I'm reading Cruicable: McCoy, right now. Once I finnish reading that book, I plan on reading one of the other Star Trek books I got, but just had'nt decied which one yet because I want to read them all! So many choices so hard to choose.

 

[Defcon]

Now I'm reading Titan: Over a Torrent Sea.

I have finished Over a Torrent Sea in the interim (and forgot to mention The Soul Key in the last post).

Now I'm reading Wolverine: Election Day by Peter David.

 

[Fer]

I'm currently on page 130 of Unworthy. Before that I read Gateways, an anthology of different types of gateway-travel stories edited by Martin H. Greenberg.

 

[Tom Riley]

I just finished Losing The Peace, I was inspired to finish that one upon hearing that Unworthy is already out... I'd lost track of all that in the past few months. SO now I have to go buy Unworthy, as that's next on my list to read.

 

[Wheo]

Currently, the only Trek novel I'm making my way through is The Never Ending Sacrifice. I originally picked it up after hearing so much about the Cardassian epic the title comes from. XD I'm not sure whether or not it'll be good yet, as I'm only on chapter two, but it's promising, so far.

 

[Steve Roby]

Currently reading Ibi Kaslik's novel The Angel Riots, about the Montreal indie rock scene.

 

[Joel_Kirk]

Currently reading Greater than the sum...

I wasn't aware that Q and A took place before the novel Before Dishonor, so I may read it before or after the Destiny series.

I also finished reading Fearful Symmetry; interesting novel. I look forward to The Soul Key.

{I'm finding out that my favorite Trek authors are: A.C. Crispin and J.M. Dillard}.

 

[Thrawn]

Going through the better-reviewed DS9 numbered novels; so far The Siege (outstanding), Fallen Heroes (entertaining), Betrayal (solid, but nothing I didn't already get from the TV episodes), and now I'm starting The Devil In The Sky. At this point, I'm pretty tired of the Jake-and-Nog-steal-something-and-get-into-trouble storyline, but I'm intrigued by the rest of it.

I recently threw Resistance across the room in annoyance and picked up Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vices.

All male Borg drones? Sweet G-Zeus! Did Dillard (normally a Trek author whose work I like) ever even freakin' bother to WATCH a Borg episode? ANY Borg episode? gaaaaah!
That and the "petite but spunky" borderline Mary Sue characters just irritated the living hell out of me.

Once I've cleansed my palate with psychodelic noir, I plan to give Destiny a try. So far, over all, I've been following the Titan books (with varying degrees of satisfaction) and the Vanguard series.

 

[Kelso]

I've recently started reading the newer Star Trek novels again after about a decade.

In the past week I've read the first installments of Vanguard, Errand of Vengeance, and A Time To... and enjoyed all three.

I currently reading A Time To Die.

Doomwyte #20 in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques and The Dreamer, the Schemer & and Robe #2 in the Amazing Tales of Max & Liz by Jenny L. Cote.

To be fair, TPTB on TNG said all along that they deliberately tried to disguise the forms of female Borg-performers to make the race seem androgynous...

Which still leaves Voyager, and Seven Of Nine....
