Star Trek: The Light Fantastic
Last year, David Mack wrote a terrific trilogy of Star Trek: The Next Generation novels, under the subtitle “Cold Equations.” (Click here for my review of book 1, click here for my review of book 2, and here for my review of book 3.) It’s a great trilogy that moved
Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Tower of Babel
Star Trek Enterprise was was an interesting failure as a TV show. Its pilot episode showed great promise, but the show quickly fell into the trap of recycling familiar Trek story tropes. Its first two seasons were very mediocre, and the show quickly shed most of the viewers who ha
Star Trek Voyager: Protectors
I’ve had a fun over the last month or two, catching up with all of Kirsten Beyer’s Star Trek Voyager novels that take the characters of that show forward from the events of the TV series’ finale. As I have repeatedly mentioned, Voyager is my least favorite of the T
Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah
Cerebus the Barbarian Messiah: Essays on the Epic Graphic Satire of Dave Sim and Gerhard is exactly what the book’s title promises. It’s a collection of essays by different authors, attempting to take a serious, scholarly look at various aspects of Cerebus, Dave Sim &
Star Trek Voyager: The Eternal Tide
This Star Trek Voyager novel, The Eternal Tide, is one I’d been dreading. To my huge shock, I’ve found myself quite enjoying Kirsten Beyer’s post-finale series of Star Trek Voyager novels (click here for my review of Full Circle, here for my review of Unworthy, and h
Star Trek Voyager: Unworthy
In my opinion, Star Trek: Voyager was by far the weakest of the Star Trek TV series. I felt that the show never lived up to its premise (of the difficulties one lone starship would face, all on their own eighty thousand light-years from home), and even more disappointingly, I felt t
Star Trek: Peaceable Kingdoms
Since the summer, Pocket Books has been publishing an interconnected five-novel Star Trek series, “The Fall,” which has brought to a head many of the story-lines that have been running through the Trek novels for the past several years. “The Fall” began with
Star Trek: The Poisoned Chalice
The latest series of Star Trek novels, subtitled “The Fall,” roars on with the fourth of five books, James Swallow’s The Poisoned Chalice. “The Fall” started off strong with David R. George III’s Deep Space Nine-centric Revelation and Dust (click
Star Trek Voyager: Acts of Contrition
As I always begin these Voyager book reviews by noting, I never much cared for the Star Trek Voyager TV show. In my opinion it is by far the weakest of all the Trek TV shows. But Kirsten Beyer has done the impossible and, with her series of post-finale-set Voyager novels, actually
Star Trek: A Ceremony of Losses
In Revelations and Dust, book one of Pocket Books’ ongoing Star Trek novel crossover series, “The Fall,” the opening of the new, Federation-designed DS9 was marred by a shocking murder. Then, book two, The Crimson Shadow, chronicled upheaval on Cardassia as the gre
