At what point do they begin to tie into the post nemesis interconnected universe? I've been reading the post nemesis reading list on startreklitverse.com and I've noticed quite a few of the DS9 relaunch novels aren't there, not sure about Voyager. I'm going to hazard a guess that its because a few of the relaunch novels were written before death in winter, but am I wrong?

I'll start with both The Siege and Sarek

Read the last 110 pages of this one tonight.. and its another brilliant trek read from Peter David! So far I've only read Q-Squared (but its one of my favourite trek novels thus far) and I own Vendetta from his work. The violence and gore is bloody brutal and brilliant here, the plot is fascinating and the characterisations are pretty good for the first DS9 Original novel. Its a great novel made even more impressive by the fact Peter David didn't have much material to base his work off of. Great stuff.

So, I've been watching Deep Space Nine for the very first time recently and I have 2 episodes left of season 2. I've picked up #2 The Siege and its excellent so far as usual from Peter David. Also picked up #3 Bloodletter by K.W. Jetter. Now, instead of getting through ALL the early numbered novels since I'm reading other trek lit too I'm looking for a few recommendations for where I am right now and the near future. I've seen all of TOS, TAS, TOS Films, TNG and TNG Films if it matters.

He's going into year 11 and has requested a 5 minute early pass because hes been struggling getting around in crowds and often limps. Back in year 8, we went through the whole diagnosis thing but we just kept being referred to the gp by the school and then vice versa. He spoke to someone about it in school the other day and they mentioned having to speak to the examiner about it (I assume he means extra time in his exams) and he phoned the nurse and they said he had to bring in some medical confirmation in September. Its the summer holidays now, what should I do? The GP won't do anything and all hes asking for is a 5 minute early pass. The nurse did phone me that day but I was sleeping. I tried to phone her back the next day (last day of school), no response. Suggestions?

You better hurry up with the questions before my next assignment on a landing party

The year is not 2278.

How are these? I plan to get along with the Shatnerverse at some point, I've already read The Ashes Of Eden, but these never get mentioned much. The "Odyssey" and "Totality" series get mentioned a lot but not so much this one. Also, thoughts on the other Shatner - Reeves-Stevens collaboration Collision Course? Excelsior: Forged in fire is another one I'm pretty curious about. Apparently it has references to the Shatnerverse and I'm always happy for a Captain Sulu story

Finished Crossover yesterday and its a decent read, not as good as others I've read like Q-Squared or Spock's World but its good. I feel like Michael Jan Friedman's writing style is a tad boring though. The romulan stuff in this book is pretty dull, sometimes I forgot who a character is and what their motivation is. I also feel like the general premise of this book is so promising and so cool it could've been much better than it actually was. Alas, its not bad, its actually quite good. I've started the DS9 Novel The Siege (the first original ds9 novel, I've only read Peter David's introduction and about 8 pages but I think I'm going to love this one)

Books you read going in with a lot of encouragement and positive reviews only to be somewhat disapointed with the actual product.

Just finished Doctor's Orders. Gee, its rare for me to finish a book so fast (9 days, I know that isn't fast for some but it sure is for me) especialy when i haven't been on the road or had any significant time off where i can read more often. Essentially, this book revolves around a planet nicknamed Flyspeck and its actually quite a unique planet; there's actually 3 different species innate to the planet. Kirk goes missing down on the planet and right before that he left Dr. McCoy in command. Klingons show up and Bones has to navigate finding Kirk, proceeding with the linguistic work needed with the 3 different species and klingons followed by an extremely well-written space battle. Its good stuff, Diane Duane is a great trek author and I look forward to reading her other stuff (Rihannsu series, which is kind of like Spock's world for Romulans and The Wounded Sky). Solid stuff all around. Next up is crossover which the premise just fascinates me I can't wait to read it. By the way yes my copy was the titan books version hence why the image displayed is that version

In your opinion, whats the most underrated Peter David Trek Book? So excluding some of the obvious ones, q-squared, q in law, imazdi, new frontier etc whats your most underrated novel of his?

I know the majority of books post the release of nemesis are set after the film but are there any that stand out as outliers which are great?

Not books that take place in the picard line of books (i'm aware of to defy fate) but others that follow up on Wesley's life as a traveler or involve him in the plot

Does this one have a similar vibe to ashes of eden in terms of the theme of feeling of no use in society? I found that theme in the former extremely cliche and somewhat boring.
