pick73/100 This is a collection of stories written by fans of Star Trek, with some of them going on, like Dayton Ward, to write other Star Trek novels. It covers the OG Star Trek, Next Gen, DS9 and Voyager. The stories vary in quality, but there's not a clunker in the bunch, they're all entertaining, if not all memorable. 4 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
$1.50 (Canadian) Dollar Tree haul 😆. Book itself sounds not too bad!
Seeing that this is the only work of fiction I read in April, I guess it gets this month‘s win by default.

April 3rd #DynamicDs Doorway. As a Star Trek fan who can forget the famous doorway, I only like the first Star Trek as 10 year old me had a crush on William Shatner. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pick(1987) The first ST:TNG tie-in novel is a novelization of the pilot episode. It's been a long long time since I watched "Encounter at Farpoint," and this seemed to match my hazy memory pretty well, except that the tone of the ending was quite different. Still, even with the difference it felt more like an episode of the show than like a pastiche, so Gerrold gets a passing grade from me.

A much better installment to the TNG book series. I enjoyed the focus on Geordi and Data, especially the use of Geordi‘s visor! The moral questions brought up throughout the story were intriguing and made me think of a sci fi classic I read earlier this year, Way Station by Simak. But in this story, the threat of an alien conglomerate enforcing a handicap on a planets ability to govern itself and reach for the stars has become reality.
The #readYourKindle fates have found every Star Trek novel in my list this month. Perhaps they're trying to tell me something?
Thanks @CBee !
