Star Trek: The Shocks of Adversity
A while back there was a lengthy interruption in the publication of new Star Trek novels from Pocket Books, a situation only recently resolved. During the break, I went back to catch up on a stack of Trek books that’d been published over the past five or so years that I’d never
Star Trek: The Antares Maelstrom
Star Trek: The Antares Maelstrom, the new Star Trek novel by Greg Cox, is set in the later days of the Five Year Mission. As the novel begins, Captain Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise are summoned to assist the colony of Baldur III. A rare and valuable material known as pergium has
Checking out the Star Trek: Picard Backstory
I was very lukewarm on the first season of Star Trek: Picard. It was amazing seeing Patrick Stewart back in this role, something I never ever expected to see. The rest of the cast was strong, and the production values were great. But I thought the story-telling was, mostly, a me
Star Trek: Child of Two Worlds
Recently, I have been enjoying catching up on the many great Star Trek: The Original Series novels that author Greg Cox has written over the past several years! I’ve arrived at last at the last one that had been waiting patiently on my book-shelf: Child of Two Worlds. This story
Star Trek: The Captain’s Oath
Christopher L. Bennett’s fantastic new Star Trek novel, The Captain’s Oath, serves as something of an origin story for Captain James T. Kirk. But whereas J.J. Abrams’ rebooted Star Trek movie, and its sequels, told a story outside of established Star Trek continui
Star Trek: Collateral Damage
David Mack’s new Star Trek novel, Collateral Damage, looks to me like it might represent the conclusion of an amazing, almost two-decade-long experiment on the part of Pocket Books to create a connected continuity of Star Trek novels. It began in 2001 with the publication of S.D. Pe
Star Trek: Foul Deeds Will Rise
For a while now I have been catching up with a bunch of Star Trek novels that I had skipped reading when they were originally published. With more books on my “to-read” shelf than I had time to read, I often found myself choosing to read the Star Trek novels that were se
Star Trek: No Time Like The Past
I am having fun catching up on a number of Star Trek novels from recent years that I have missed. Most of these books that I had skipped reading are stand-alone tales from the Original Series era, and the first batch I have been reading have all been written by Greg Cox. I have qu
Star Trek: Available Light
Simon & Schuster/ Pocket Books have been publishing Star Trek novels on a regular basis for as long as I can remember. (I believe their first one was The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre from back in 1981, and they’ve been publishing Trek books consistently ever since.) B
Star Trek: The Weight of Worlds
I have been catching up with a number of stand-alone Star Trek novels telling stories from Captain Kirk’s era that had been sitting unread — for far too long! — on my bookshelf! After reading Greg Cox’s novel The Rings of Time, I moved on to Mr. Cox’s nex
