#269: Seven of Nine (VOY #16)

On 13 November 2024

In today’s episode, Voyager’s new friends cut through red tape like butter, and have good taste in air fresheners to boot. But when Seven comes down with a nasty case of Corvid-19, she’ll need her new feathered friends to help her defuse a nuclear truth bomb. Will the Doctor’s sleepy-time experiments get anyone killed this time? When will Starfleet get off its legalistic high horse? And who got here first: the books or the show? All this and more in Seven of Nine, the book that manages to not get anyone killed by sleeping on the job.

In today’s episode, “stories from camp” takes on a whole new meaning when several senior crew members find themselves laboring for some harsh captors. But finding a way out will put all their “looking like they’re working” skills to the test. Who spins the best fireside yarn? Can Starfleet Academy really make you participate in a sport? And what would Kes have had to do to make Neelix not be attracted to her? All this and more in Pathways, the book that connects the dots between Tom Paris and Pepe Silvia.

Well, it finally happened: September 2024 was the first month since this site started to have zero new reviews. I am so sorry, but just know I am still into this project and have no thoughts of abandoning it. In my defense, school is crazy-busy this year, and Pathways is incredibly long (for a Star Trek novel) and mostly boring. (Why would you lead off with the Chakotay akoocheemoya stuff? Why?)

Anyway, that’s that. Also, I’m 40 years old today! But that’s a whole other story.

In today’s episode, the Faal family comes down with a nasty case of silver eye, and Zero breaks out of galactic confinement as Q’s PowerPoint finally reaches its last slide. But it will take a blast of minty fresh breath to counter Zero’s hot air. Why is Picard so slow on the uptake? What kind of damage can writing too much Q do to your prose? And has my teaching career coincidentally prepared me for this moment? All this and more in Q-Strike, the book that’s on its way to get some head.

In today’s episode, Riker realizes the only way to get the Calamarain off his back might be a little cloud-on-cloud action. Meanwhile, Picard continues to squirm in his front-row seat to Q’s early struggles with peer pressure. Is Q wearing a Starfleet uniform stolen valor? What does civilian parlance reveal about their attitudes about various races? And what are the contents of a soiled Q diaper? All this and more in Q-Zone, the book that doesn’t know “The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog”, but if you hum a few bars…
