Books I bought today:
Feb. 13th, 2010 10:51 pmOkay, today I caved and bought the ST:TNG Starfleet Academy books about Worf (and K'Ehleyr! and Mark!) and since there was one of the Geordi books and two of the Data ones there as well, and since I haven't read them, I also picked those up.
But I left the Picard ones there. XD
Check out these titles!
#1 Worf's First Adventure (gripping!)
#2 Line of Fire (chilling!)
#3 Survival (so romantic!)
#4 Capture the Flag (you fight those athletic bullies, Geordi!)
#6 Mystery of the Missing Crew (how Keene!)
#7 Secret of the Lizard People (BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHHH! *gasp* ahHAhahahahhahaha!)
I also bought some non-YA Trek novels:
Probe -- this is a sequel to STIV:TVH (aka The One With The Whales), and I've heard it's pretty good. eta: Although Chapter one, paragrap 3 starts with a sentence in which lurks a continuity gaff so glaring I literally threw the book away from me. But I took a few hours calming down time and skipped over that bit, and it's been fair since. I LOVE Sulu and Riley's insta-reunion, I'm frowny about how much space the Romulans are taking up.
The Lost Years -- this is the end of the 5-year mission and what happened next. I will probably hate it, but I admit, I'm curious. Especially since a book I love -- Traitor Winds -- is supposedly a follow-up to this.
First Frontier -- KIRK AND SPOCK VERSUS DINOSAURS!!! (If you believe the front cover, which you should never, ever do with Trek books.) I've resisted buying this for a long time, but, hell, no one can outlast a velociraptor forever. This is a "ohshit someone travelled back in time and destroyed humanity WE MUST FIX IT" story. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it wasn't drugged-out McCoy again.
Crisis On Centaurus -- ...this is the one with Joanna McCoy in it. I anticipate that reading it will be like punching myself in the face, but, man, I have all this unresolved irritation about her. I might as well see if it's as warranted as I think it is. (I hear she hits on Kirk. eta: SHE DOES NOT. I WAS MISLEAD!) The one about how McCoy's wife left him for the diplomat her parents arranged for her to marry when she was a kid and he had to leave his baby girl to be raised by his sister was also there, but reading that would be like kicking myself in the box, and since I'm already punching myself in the face, it seemed like overkill. eta: Actually a decent read! A lot like an episode.
And the one TNG book of the novels-for-grown-ups -- Sins of Commission. I totally bought this just for Simon Tarses. I would have loved to have found Do Comets Dream? because it looks awesome in that cracky way Star Trek pulls off fairly well, but alas, it wasn't there.
Wish me luck! *adjusts spectacles* 83
