Star Trek: Takedown
I am having a lot of fun getting caught up on the last year or so of Pocket Books’ Star Trek novels! In 2013’s terrific five-novel crossover series, “The Fall,” a vicious assassination on board Deep Space Nine sends all of the major galactic powers — most
Star Trek: Absent Enemies
After enjoying the “Typhon Pact” e-book, The Struggle Within, I decided to move onto a more recent e-book, John Jackson Miller’s Absent Enemies. This e-book was the first story to take place following the events of the five-book Trek novel crossover series “T
Star Trek: Typhon Pact: The Struggle Within
I enjoyed this summer’s solid-though-not-spectacular Star Trek Beyond, but for me, for the past decade-plus most of the best Star Trek has been of the unofficial kind. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed many of the Star Trek fan films that are being made (fan films that sadly remai
Star Trek: Ascendance
I loved Sacraments of Fire, the first half of David R. George III’s new Star Trek: Deep Space Nine duology, and I’m pleased to say that the second book, Ascendance, is a strong conclusion to the story! Ascendance picks up right where Sacraments of Fire left off. The craz
The Star Trek Saga Continues with Star Trek: Sacraments of Fire
We’re in the midst of one of the longest dry spells of new “official” Star Trek content since the decade between the cancellation of The Original Series in 1969 and the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. In the decade since the cancellation of Star T
Josh Reviews the BBC Adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Over the winter I read Susannah Clarke’s magnificent novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I loved it, and highly recommend reading it. The book tells the story of two magicians attempting to bring magic back to England in the late 1800s. The novel is one of the best ex
Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Missing
What a delight it is to have a new Star Trek novel that is officially titled as a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine book!! Though characters and situations from Deep Space Nine (my favorite of the Trek TV shows) have played a major part in the last decade or so of Pocket Books’ wonde
Star Trek Section 31: Disavowed
One of the most intriguing story threads left hanging by last year’s five-book Star Trek The Fall series was the fate of Julian Bashir. Though Dr. Bashir was able to solve the Andorian reproductive crisis (a story-thread that has been running through the Star Trek books since th
Star Trek The Lost Era: One Constant Star
In 2003 Pocket Books published a six-book series called “The Lost Era” that told tales from the almost-century between the end of Star Trek VI and the launch of the Enterprise D in “Encounter at Farpoint,” the premiere episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Star Trek The Lost Era: The Buried Age
I read Christopher L. Bennett’s novel The Buried Age back when it was originally released in 2007. I remembered loving it, and I’ve been wanting o re-read it for a while now. When the latest “Lost Era” novel was published recently, David R. George III’
