Spoilers TTN: Fallen Gods by Michael A. Martin Review Thread
- Thread starter Sho
- Start date
Just happened to see this out at my local B&N and snatched it up. Was only on the New Release paperback shelf and not doubled up on the Trek shelf, and at the lowest lefthand corner. Weird, as the trek books are usually at head-height on the NRPB shelf. As well, the book is a regular glossy cover, which makes the cover treatment look pretty poor. No matte finish, no raised title section. Shame as I thought it was nice to have a distinct cover treatment and texture for a distinct series. Won't be reading this soon, but I am getting closer to finally starting the Post-NEM novel verse!
My copy will arrive in a few days, or so I'm told. I can't remember which of you suggested The Book Depository to me, but I'm glad you did. 
They have a Horta already, actually. Or they did in the early books; he left after Destiny. Strangely enough, we never got to meet him. He was the subject of a few "tripping over the mobile rock" jokes and that was it. Chwollk is the enterprising fellow's name.
I have it preordered on my Kindle and am looking forward to it. Unfortunately, Odd Apocalypse also comes out the same day, and between the two, I'm sticking with Odd in terms of which I read first.
Pre-ordered for my Kindle. I'm excited to see where the story goes. The overall 24th Century direction has been great, so far.
I was afraid of that. I love the Titan series' cover designs but not having the matte finish and raised title section along the side kinda ruins the look.
This.
The same thing happened to Vanguard, didn't it? The first three (?) installments had a nicer matte finish, then they switched to glossy covers? Or am I remembering it wrong? It didn't seem like a big deal to me. But it's different for the Titan cover design, since it made very specific use of the glossy "TITAN" etched on the side to give it a cool effect.
I can't wait for this book. I really enjoyed all the Titan boks thus far. I also can't wait to see what happens to the Andorians. They have become my second favorite species.
Just ordered it, should be here this weekend, maybe somewhere next week. Now I just hope I can finish it quickly enough. Seize The Fire was a real struggle, and I actually put it away for a while and read something else.
Like I said before, I'll keep an open mind. But now, I feel bit anxious to read a novel by Martin again.

I picked up this new "Star Trek" novel from Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney yesterday - and just discovered that my Andorian alter ego, Therin (from 1980), has once again been saluted. Trying not to skim the contents of this thread too thoroughly, but so excited that "Fallen Gods" has a ship named after Shantherin th'Clane (aka Therin), a character first introduced in the pro novel, "Ex Machina" (Christopher L Bennett, 2004) - and namesake of Therin Park (and New Therin Park) in five other novels!
