Dana might appreciate this: one of the Tor bloggers is doing a periodic review of old Paramount Star Trek: TOS tie-in novels.
Interesting. Although I mostly completely disagree with her. She likes "Enterprise: The First Adventure" more than "Final Frontier"?
I was reading some of those reviews, and it seems silly to be judging the books for not showing sufficiently advanced technology. They seemed plenty futuristic to me when I read them. I need to find the Diane Duane books again, I think they're in the garage.
Huh. I had no idea she wrote Trek books. But I think you've just inspired me to put the
So You Want to be a Wizard
series up next on the to-be-re-read list.
Oh the wizard books! Good stuff. I lost track of them around the eighth book though - eight is too many of most things.
I will leave megan's response as my own. I don't think you are prepared for the WTF.
I'm now three-quarters of the way through [Gone Girl], and holy shit. Unprepared is an understatement.
Yeah, I agree about the wizard series. I enjoy them, but they keep getting more and more complicated. Which is true of her Star Trek books as well.
I'm now three-quarters of the way through [Gone Girl], and holy shit. Unprepared is an understatement.
And yet, the HSQ increases.
Man, I am nearing the end of
The Shadowed Sun,
and I am having Mark-level reactions to this book.
I told you those books were awesome.
I'm more into the characters in this book (Hanani especially is way more relatable than Ehiru, and I love her). Though both books could use more Sunanda.
