How ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ became code for insulting Joe Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Republican Rep. Bill Posey of Florida ended an Oct. 21 House floor speech with a fist pump and the phrase “Let’s go, Brandon!” it may have seemed cryptic and weird to many who were listening.

Star Trek Coda Book 2 The Ashes of Tomorrow

The crews of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Ezri Dax, and William Riker unite to prevent a cosmic-level apocalypse–only to find that some fates really are inevitable. THE FUTURE IS AT WAR WITH THE PAST. The epic Star Trek: Coda trilogy continues as friends become foes, the Temporal Apocalypse accelerates, and the catastrophe’s true cause is revealed. (TM), (R), & (c) 2021 CBS Studios, Inc. STAR TREK and related marks and logos are trademarks of CBS Studios, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The middle part of a story is always going to be more interesting than the first part, because the first part is where the table is set and everyone is set up for the action, then all the action really gets started in the second book. James Swallow does a great job of using the table that was set up for him by book one’s author, Dayton Ward, and uses the expanded TrekLit universe for every possible delicious story element possible. There’s a quick addressing of my concern about Worf’s mourning, there’s fantastic meetings between characters that have never met or it’s been years since they’ve seen each other, and best of all there’s inclusions of elements from Star Trek franchises that I never thought in a million years would play such a critical role in this trilogy (Nog’s ship and Riker’s chase of the Enterprise among them).

Honestly, I was laughing out loud at how many references where made, at one point my wife had me stop and explain what was going on, which I did for nearly an hour straight.

Next up is David Mack’s “Oblivion’s Gate” due out November 30th, which is going to be a day one purchase for me.

Expendable

Under the benevolent leadership of the League of Peoples, there is no war, little crime, and life is sacred…unless you’re an Explorer. The ugly, the flawed, the misfit, the deformed, they are the unwanted, flung to the farthest corners of the galaxy to investigate hostile planets and strange, vicious creatures. Out there, there are a thousand different–and terrible–ways to die. Festina Ramos belongs to the well-trained, always-dwindling ranks of ECMs (Expendable Crew Members). Now she and her partner, Yarrun Derigha, have been ordered to escort the unstable Admiral Chee to Melaquin–the feared “Planet of No Return”– which has swallowed up countless Explorers before them without a trace. Obviously, this is meant to be the last mission for Ramos and Derigha. But it won’t be, if Festina can help it.

I had some extra credits at a local used book store and chose this one because I had purchased nearly every Trek book they had and the cover was lurid and lewd enough to catch my eye, then the synopsis on the dust cover caught my interest. It’s one of those classic science fiction stories that set hard and fast rules about their universe, then show you how to get around every single one of them. In this, it’s that Humanity has one rule: no murder, premeditated or otherwise, under penalty of death by nearly god like aliens that know all and see all. There’s some real goofy concepts in the book that I absolutely love, so if you check it out, stick around until they leave the ship for the first time, by that point I was personally hooked on the story.

It’s the first book in a series set in the same universe, but I don’t think there’s enough here for me to continue on with them. This is a great stand alone story and I enjoyed my time with it.
