Review: Steal the Stars

Steal the Stars by Nat Cassidy My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was much more interesting than I thought it would be.  Private corporate entities that subcontract for the government and a secret crashed alien? What could possibly go wrong!  The version I listened to was the original podcast version released by Tor.  The prequel story (also a podcast

TV Binge - Part V

 So much time to catch up on TV watching over the summer while there really isn't all that much new stuff on TV 😂. OK, here's some recap of stuff from August... (yeah, I know I am behind...)Van Helsing (Season 5)I wasn't really sure how this series was going to end.  It did feel like they were grasping at straws close to the end of season 4 and the start of this season.  Over the

Review: Children of the Storm

Children of the Storm by Kirsten Beyer My rating: 3 of 5 stars Continuing the adventure of the "armada" of Starfleet vessels as they explore the delta quadrant. It seems like the Children of the Storm were something we saw on screen at some point, but I really don't remember them. Not a bad story, with overtones of Taelons and the Genesis Device.From the blurb: "YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO RETURN TO

Review: Star Trek: Voyager—Seven’s Reckoning #4 (of 4)

Star Trek: Voyager—Seven’s Reckoning #4 (of 4) by Dave Baker My rating: 4 of 5 stars Quick thoughts on the entire story:  Interesting overtones of "Star Trek Insurrection" with the whole "we're using these aliens to keep ourselves young", and an interesting means of having Seven come to terms with leaving the Borg Collective.

TV Binging - Part IV

 Well...the coronavirus keeps going...so keeps the backlog of TV watching....Superman and LoisI finished season 1 of the CW's new DC show most recently and I was pretty surprised that it was better than I thought it would be.  I never watched Smallville back in the day, and in general the big name superhero shows don't attract me these days.  The premise of the show, at least from the

Some more STO accolades...

I've been saving this post to see if I can add some more before I post, but it seems like STO has not been adding any more accolades with the content that they've been adding recently.  I've been meaning to go back to some old missions that require a teaming-up with others to earn the mission accolades, but between summer events, special events, special missions, and the new Mirror Universe

TV Binge (Part III)

With the late start of current seasons due to COVID, it's more past show binging (and also finishing off stuff I had started).  I started to write this back in March, but I am just getting to jotting down some thoughts.SupernaturalTo be honest, I wasn't really sure how this whole series was going to end. A series that basically billed itself as going out and hunting the monster of the week almost

Review: Unworthy

Unworthy by Kirsten Beyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars I rather enjoyed this one.  Seven tries to figure out why the celliear didn't absorb her into the Gestalt and she's trying to figure out what her family is now that she no longer had voyager, her aunt, or the borg.  A good connection to Species 8472 (and this makes me see how the original foe of Star

Review: Star Trek Archives: Best of the Borg

Star Trek Archives: Best of the Borg by Michael Jan Friedman My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not a bad collection of stories. I particularly liked the final story of the Romulans encountering the Borg for the first time. The main story (TNG parallel universe) was interesting, but I wasn't as taken by the art style. The parallel universe was visually distracting in that
