jhetiTrek books! THEY MATTER.
The Kobayashi Maru - Julia Ecklar: Wow! A book that DOESN'T focus on Kirk, Spock, and McCoy! I'm hoping this one is good. HNR.
Deep Domain - Howard Weinstein: Carey's confidence is misplaced. Interesting concept, hideous execution. Tonight only, ladies and gentlmen: Darkhair Daala and the Improbables! Performing their hit singles, Martial Law Doesn't Work That Way and Me Coup You Long Time.
Black Fire - Sonni Cooper: HNR.
Time Trap - David Dvorkin: HNR.
Dreams of the Raven - Carmen Carter: HNR.
Doctor's Orders - Diane Duane: I'm saving this; it looks tasty. HNR.
Double, Double - Michael Jan Friedman: I dunno, this is the same guy that wrote a horrendous TNG/X-Men crossover and got paid for it. I wish I were making that up! HNR.
Memory Prime - Gar and Judith Reeves-Stevens: The cover is full of lulz. HNR.
Ghost-Walker - Barbara Hambly: I keep typing her name as "Baraka". Apparently I have a slight tendency to fixate? Also, the cover is horrific.HNR.
Time for Yesterday - A.C. Crispin: I know and like her work. HNR.
The Cry of the Onlies - Judy Klass: HNR.
Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories - Nichelle Nichols: MY HERO. Yay! <3 HNR.
Crossroads - Barbara Hambly: If you can find a Trek book not written by Barbara Hambly, it's probably worth a fortune. XD HNR.
First Frontier - Diane Carey and Dr. James I. Kirkland: KIRK FIGHTS VELOCIRAPTORS. Enough explaining. I'm keeping it.
The Patrian Transgression - Simon Hawke: By Chapter Three, I was literally fighting to keep my eyes open. I've read some very bad fic, professional and otherwise, in my time, but this is DEADLY FUCKING BORING. A shame, because it promised me telepathic secret police and the Big Three fighting their way out of a deathtrap arena, but it's too BORING for me to pick around for those parts. Also? Huge giant tone problems. Massive. Urrgh.
Dreadnought! - Diane Carey: Is one of the few Trek books in first person. It's okay, and I had fun reading it, but I don't like it enough to keep it.
