I haven't got around to them no, should they go on the hit list?

Yes.

I liked both a lot. While reading the 2nd book I was thinking to myself "putting aside the DTI material this is the best TOS book I've read in quite awhile", then when we get to the material concerning Kirks reputation mentioned above, well that just made it even better. The first one is very good but the 2nd one is my favorite of the two.
 
^I'm surprised it's not shown up in Australia yet, isn't that one of the first places the books get spotted out in the wild?
 
I just found this tonight at Barnes and Noble. I'm only on chapter 2, but really getting sucked into it.

And we have our first sighting!

You got me hooked for good by the end of chapter 3, Greg. Talk about the jaw hitting the floor when i got to the end of that chapter!

Hah. Now I have to grab my copy and remind myself what happens there. (Although I think I can guess what you're talking about.)
 
I got No Time Like the Past yesterday and quite enjoyed it.

It was a fun romp through the TOS universe. Seven fit in nicely in the past as a mysterious visitor from the future, while the Big Three interacted with her in enjoyable fashion and the various puzzles and challenges were quite believable.
 
I enjoyed this book immensely, however Chapter 36: Page 383 contained a sentence that pulled me out of the the story:

"That was putting it was mildly"

Also,
it seemed that Greg went out of his way to introduce security guards in the landing party that died at the drop of the hat. I did start to have fun with it, trying to guess how they would ultimately end up biting it.

Oops! I swear to God I proofread the page proofs, but that one must have slipped by me. To put it mildly.
 
Whoa. I read that sentence three times before I noticed what was wrong with it. I guess the problem with phrases like that is that the brain sees the whole that it expects to see and thus doesn't necessarily break it down into its component words.
 
Is the double occurrence of "the" deliberate, NotLKH? :p

I'm going to read over this post at least thrice, to avoid becoming the latest victim...
 
I read the sample chapter over at Amazon.com I can't wait to read the entire book when my copy finally comes in the mail.
