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.

Star Trek Coda Book 1 – Moments Asunder

STARFLEET’S FINEST FACES A CHALLENGE UNLIKE ANY OTHER TOMORROW IS DOOMED Time is coming apart. Countless alternate and parallel realities are under attack, weakening and collapsing from relentless …

It’s the end of the Star Trek Extended Universe as we know it, but luckily it’s not going out the way the Star Wars EU did, just being shoveled into a trash heap and fans told “that stuff never really happened”. Star Trek has a built in safety valve for that sort of thing with how it’s traditionally dealt with alternative realities, going all the way back to the original series’s episode named “Mirror, Mirror” which was released in 1967 during the show’s second season, continued in every single series since then, and was the primary method of getting new actors into the TOS crew seats.

“Moments Asunder” brings in a large number of Next Generation and Department of Temporal Investigation characters, most of whom are going to be familiar to anyone that’s been reading along in the EU adventures that picked up with the end of DS9 and Enterprise, continuing the story of the Federation in the years after Trek officially left television back in 2005, it would have been nice to have a full timeline of all the incredibly cool things that happened since then, with the return of Sisko, the destruction of DS9, the USS Aventine and her new captain, Picard and Beverly getting married and having a child, Riker’s going off on the USS Titan, getting married, then getting promoted to fleet Admiral, the assassination of a Federation President, the continued frustrations of Section 31 running around, the Andorian crisis, all that and many many many other cool things. I didn’t even mention what was going on with Voyager during that time period, mostly because I somehow didn’t read a single one of those books. I want to, but a man only has so much time on his hands!

Because the writers of the TV shows want to justifiably do their own things with the characters they’re responsible for, the EU stuff that contradicts the new shows has to be contextualized somehow, either by just giving up on it Star Wars style, or explaining where it is in the infinite web of diverse and verdant multiverse realities that Trek has always acknowledged are out there doing their own thing. It’s an extremely ambitious goal that they’ve set for themselves, and for the most part, this first book does that it sets out to do, with old and familiar characters popping back into the picture and things moving extremely quickly once they start going. My one complaint about the book would be that with the extremely fast pace of the book, some events are unclear, there was a death of a captain that I swore wasn’t a death but ended up being one on the next page, and there was an unfortunate scene that I think mirrors that scene from Star Wars when Leia ignored Chewy when they got back from destroying Star Killer base, the location where her ex husband was just murdered by her kid. Chewy should have gotten the damn hug, not Rey! Well after you read the book, you’ll know what I’m talking about, it’s the same damn thing. In the sum of things, it’s an exceptionally minor complaint.

If you’ve been reading along for the last 20 years, this is going to do it for you. If you haven’t, read a primer, maybe a timeline or two, then jump right in, it’s fairly accessible, just know that nearly everyone you’re familiar with has 20 years of time on them since you last met them.

Out Today “The Odyssey of Star Wars”

Out today is another book, titled “The Odyssey of Star Wars“, by Jack Mitchell.

Journey to a galaxy far, far away like never before—through lyrical verse and meter. Like the tales of Odysseus and Beowulf, the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Jyn Erso, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and the Emperor are fraught with legendary battles, iconic heroes, fearsome warriors, sleek ships, and dangerous monsters. Beginning with Rogue One’s rebel heist on Scarif to secure the plans to the Death Star and continuing through the climax of Return of the Jedi, author Jack Mitchell uses the ancient literary form of epic poetry to put a new spin on the Star Wars saga.

Punctuated with stunning illustrations inspired by the terracotta art of Greek antiquity, The Odyssey of Star Wars: An Epic Poem presents the greatest myth of the 20th century as it would have been told nearly 3,000 years ago.

future, but might the cause lie in their past?

Star Trek Picard The Dark Veil

A thrilling untold adventure based on the acclaimed Star Trek: Picard TV series!

A perfectly fine Star Trek novel, if you’re interested in the background universe of the Federation immediately before the events of the first Star Trek PIcard novel, this book is a tale of what Riker and his crew on board the Titan were up to right before the Romulan sun went nova (a huge unwarranted change from the established continuity of the shows, but what do I know). I do have a couple minor complaints, as the book opens in the middle of court case, which is normally pretty silly for a science fiction series to do, and it’s about as silly as you’d expect it to be. Turns out the court case leads to one of the better parts of the book though, so I can’t complain too much.

It was only $2 during a recent sale, so if you can catch it for that price, I highly suggest it.
