No, that was hilarious. I love "New Frontier" for stuff like that. It doesn't take itself too serious and you never know what crazy thing happens next.

Vendetta was alright. I liked the premise with the Planet Killer and the descriptions of the Borg, but like Jason says some of the characterization was out there.

I was young and impressionable when I read that...it was also one of the few Trek novels I have ever read. I liked it then, but again that was before I saw my first naked chick. So its probably pretty gay now.

Oddly, his depiction of the Borg in that book is one of the very best I've ever read and the Planetkiller is really cool as well but...that's really where the good parts stop.
About the end of chapter two, I belive.
As bad as Peter David has become, John Vornholt is far far worse: everything he writes involves multiple books and Picard saving the whole fucking galaxy. That whole "Genesis Wave" series was abyssimal.

Well, the DS9 re-launch was incredibly GOOD.
Really, go pick those up: a lot of intresting new characters added to the cast and (thankfully) they did'nt even mention Worf once!.
Gotta love it.

Most of the "Lost Era" books were pretty decent as well. "The Art of the Impossible" being the best IMO.

Come on, Lee, just 'cause he's having computer problems doesn't mean you have to rub it in.

So is Commander Shelby's canon name Elizabeth or did they just decided to use the actress' real name for the Trek Encyclopedia?
