#230: Vulcan’s Forge (TOS event)

In today’s episode, Captain Spock looks forward to reuniting with an old friend who needs some help at a remote desert outpost. But when their journey into the sands leads them to the same madman they once defeated as teenagers, it’s no mirage. Will Spock ever run out of friends and family we’ve never met? Can Dr. McCoy catch loquacious lightning in a bottle twice? And is Uhura cut out for the hot seat? All this and more in Vulcan’s Forge, or, Yesteryear II: Volcanic Boogaloo.

Update

It’s been nearly a month since there was a new review, so I feel like I owe you an update. In addition to the usual grad school workload, my wife had foot surgery early last week, and I’ve been her primary caretaker since then. She’s doing well and things are starting to slow down into something that more resembles the amount of leisure time I’m used to, so I hope to have Vulcan’s Forge done soon. (I’ve also finished the one after that, the YA Voyager novel Lifeline, so there might be a few coming in comparatively rapid succession.)

Thanks as always for sticking around.

#229: Into the Void (NF #2)

In today’s episode, the Excalibur shoves off into Sector 221-G with some expected or unexpected live cargo, depending on who you ask. But as the captain looks around, he begins to wonder if maybe the toys on his island are a little too misfit. Do the kids know what selling out is anymore? Does the Excalibur have a quiet quitter? And who will budge first: the unstoppable horndog or the immovable Vulcan? All this and more in Into the Void, the book that can’t compete with that fancy store-bought dirt.

#228: House of Cards (New Frontier #1)

Today’s Star Trek is rated TV-MA for blood, gore, violence, language, self-performed face surgery, nudity, sexual situations, and Jellico.

Reader discretion is advised.

#227: Space Camp (DS9 YA #10)

In today’s episode, when Jake and Nog go to Starfleet Academy Teaser Week, they both get struck by the same arrow of love. But when Nog’s spycam triggers an ancient bomb, they’ll have to put their enmity aside to keep the camp from becoming a crater. Is Jake cut out for Starfleet? Is it worse to be slightly capable than not at all? And does anyone read character names out loud before these things go to press? All this and more in Space Camp, the book that isn’t all that spacey or campy.
