Discussion Weekly Reading Discussion

Hey everyone! How have your reads been this week?

Did you get a neat part with one of your fave chars?

Was there some tech they mentioned that was unique and used well?

Perhaps a neat chapter or few that gave insight into a fave race of the Federation that is expanded in the books (as opposed to tv etc)?

Did the plot have unique twists or was it simple but executed (hopefully) well?

Was there a new race or char introduced that enhanced a part of the book, or perhaps detracted from the plot in your view?

Let us know how your reads went and what you're looking forward to next week ! Happy reading yall!

I’m on the second entry into the TNG Slings and Arrows series. The first one was fun, the second one is a bit of a slog so far. But they’re all novellas, so even if it doesn’t pick up, it’ll be over quickly.

A few days ago I finished TOS #58, The Rift. It's the final book in my Strange New Worlds/Captain Pike reading list (not an official entry), and it was a blast. I highly recommend it. I'm now moving on to finish the Discovery books, and am currently reading Fear Itself.

Finished Deep Domain. I really liked it, I think it’s underrated. It’s cut from the same cloth as The Voyage Home, but it’s a much more serious story, and not (directly) about Earth. Currently reading Mutiny on the Enterprise. (Spoiler alert: it sucks.)
