Earlier this week I got To Lose The Earth.

I tried to lose the Earth, but it keeps sticking to my feet.

Whatever did you do before they passed the Law of Gravity?

TOS - Living Memory has arrived today - I went to Thalia to get it.

 

[Charles Phipps]

I'm starting the STARGAZER series.

Also, reading Christopher Bennett's LIVING MEMORY.

I got Star trek Picard Rogue Elements by John Jackson Miller. The Star Gazer series by Michael Jan Friedman are good books. I reread them awhile back .I wished there had been a few more books in the series. One of my favorites was how Picard and Guinan meet for the first time.

Huge thanks to @Markonian who told me about the cover of an issue of the German sci-fi novel series which featured a "Star Trek" parody by Claudia Kern. And then sent me one when I couldn't find one online! A highlight of Sydney's Lockdown. (Been inside since the end of June and about a month still to go.)

"Nach eigenen Regeln" ("By Their Own Rules", Maddrax #44, released in 2001) was set in a post-apocalyptic North America, centuries after a comet impact. The protagonists come across a valley where the descendants of Trekkies continue to live by the rules of a "Star Trek" RPG. (The Maddrax title was published biweekly in pulp booklet format by Bastei-Lübbe.)

I hope you get to read it…somehow.
Imperator Regder of the “Andors” will not be denied.

New Star Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Still in Lockdown in Sydney. My local stores are able to post me my stuff, but it's definitely not the same as buying in person. Latest arrivals: "Ships of the Line" Calendar for 2022; a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" novel, "Shadows Have Offended" (Gallery Books) by Cassandra Rose Clarke; IDW's "Star Trek: Voyager" graphic novel omnibus, "Seven's Reckoning"; and (unlicensed) DS9 and VGR print-on-demand trivia books.

There seems to be quite an explosion of unlicensed Trek stuff on Amazon's print-on-demand at the moment. I bought these more out of curiosity. Essentially, they are fanzines in slick covers. (The completist in me must resist!)

IDW "Year Five", Issue #24 by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Issue #24 of IDW's "Star Trek: Year Five" (and TMP-rainbow-inspired alternate cover).

(The Efrosian President of ST VI pops up in this story. Did someone forget the human ST IV President, or did the Efrosian have a previous term we didn't know about?)

I noticed that. Maybe it's a different Efrosian? Maybe we're racist to think they look alike...

I considered that. I did like the irony in ST VI - with everyone being racist about Klingons, yet many people in the audience were wondering why the UFP President looked rather Klingon himself.

I guess they didn't remember the Saratoga's Efrosian helmsman from ST IV.

I guess they didn't remember the Saratoga's Efrosian helmsman from ST IV.

Exactly. Although they probably thought he was a Klingon, too?

I've lately been trying to fill out my hardcovers collection, and these are my latest from ebay.

 

[Reanok]

Dark Mirror by Diane Duane is a great read. I re-read it again a few months ago and William Shatner's novel with the Reeves -Steevens is a real interesting story too.

Dark Mirror by Diane Duane is a great read.

Cetacean Ops. Which is back on the fan radar!

 

[seigezunt]

I have a soft spot for the Shatner novels. They get increasingly bonkers, but I especially like The Return and parts of the Mirror Universe trilogy. We'll see how it goes with this prequel.
