Another story about the Borg? Yawn.

I have no interest in these books. They sound hokey.

For the the folks above complaining about field promotions, wait till the new movie comes out, then eat your Klingon heart out!

I have read Resistance, Before Dishonor and I’m finishing Greater Than the Sum. I have found all three books logical in their progression and the evolution of the Borg. Both The ST:TNG and the ST:Voyager series dealt with the Borg in an episodic fashion never in an epic serialized fashion and I think it about time. I have often wondered what the various Star Trek characters would do under the stresses of a full out Borg invasion. Would they adhere to their Starfleet principles or will they be pragmatists and do away with the Borg in whatever fashion is most expedient? I found the three books I mentioned above to be a very fast read and very entertaining. I even found myself wondering if these books will become movies.

As for the upcoming Star Trek: Destiny trilogy I will purchase them as well. Because as one of the bloggers above stated – The Borg are one of the best baddies in the Star Trek universe. As for those of you who felt that Before Dishonor was a horrifically written book I put this challenge before you: You write book, get it published and subject yourselves to the criticism of the unimaginative soulless critics who could not twirl pasta on to a fork. I know that sometimes sci-fi can be really bad but when it is done well it is fabulous. I really think that those of you who have criticized Before Dishonor should give it another read before casting dispersions upon its author.

51 and 54,

First of all, I do have a life. I get go to hellholes where things like freedom of speech and democracy are almost unheard of.

The things I’ve done, I did for you people. So you all can keep your rights to voice opinions on anything your little hearts desire. Including ST novels. We all should be so lucky to enjoy freedom of speech in America. Because others can’t

Secondly, when I’m not at my civilian job, I’m busy taking care of my two kids. So yes, I do somewhat have a life. How’s that for you?

Finally, I can make any comment about the criticizers as I see fit. I’m just exercising those freedoms and rights I go spending a year defending for you people and me as well. Freedom of speech, it’s great!

On a last note, I loved Resistance and Before Dishonor. Granted, it’s not Final Reflection, bit I liked it all the same. I look forwad to te new series.h

Don’t ya just just love freedom of speech!?

Hey #55 D.M.

I missed the SCE collab you did with Keith, but unfortunately it was due to simple disinterest in the series for me. Not to say it hasn’t any appeal, but just not for me, I guess.

Anyhow, the collaborative work I was referring to would be one of more stand-alone literary continuity plot point kind of thing.

At any rate, just wanted to say I appreciate your contributions, and hope you don’t run out of ideas or storylines. (Margaret Clark, are you listening? Get David on an Enterprise project! :D) :)

Enough fawning. For now. heh

P.S. Thanks for the insight on the planning process!

#53, Star Trek actually has a long history of officers being promoted to starship command during times of war and then keeping those commissions afterward. It’s simply one of the conceits of the series.

As for why it was Ezri Dax and not someone else from DS9, it has to do in part with the fact that the DS9 post-finale books take place in an earlier timeframe than the trilogy, and I was therefore constrained with regard to which characters from the series I would be allowed to bring forward. Because of the evolution that Ezri’s character had undergone in the books, she was deemed a suitable candidate for promotion in the trilogy, which takes place years later in the literary continuity.
