Review: Patterns of Interference
Friday, May 31 2019, 04:30 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek Patterns of Interference by Christopher L. BennettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars What bums me out the most about this book is that there is no "Star Trek Enterprise will continue..." at the end of the book. I wonder if this series will come back in the future.Anyway - even if it is the last book to come out (certainly hope not), this was a rather fun book to read. I was hoping that Trip would come

Review: Live by the Code
Thursday, May 30 2019, 10:24 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek Live by the Code by Christopher L. BennettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars A good conclusion to the "ware saga" (or so it seems). Of note in this book, we see Archer coming around to the Vulcan's "logic" of non-interference (aka, the "prime directive") based on the events that happened with the Saurians. We also see Trip seriously looking to take down Section 31 (which we know doesn't happen

Review: Uncertain Logic
Wednesday, May 29 2019, 04:30 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek Uncertain Logic by Christopher L. BennettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This novel continues with the parade of worlds that are joining the federation: in this book we see the Deltans, and we continue an exploration of those "Ware" space stations which we originally saw on screen in Enterprise. Meanwhile on Vulcan the Kirshara is stolen and people try to use it to overthrow the new Vulcan government.

Review: Star Trek: The Next Generation: Ghosts
Monday, May 27 2019, 02:30 Comic Book, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek Star Trek: The Next Generation: Ghosts by Zander CannonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Not a bad story. Basically a story of a planet who wants to join the Federation, but there are two rival factions on that planet (basically a no-no for membership in the Federation). One side invents a device that moves you into another sub-space type of universe (basically looks like the Matrix's loading

Review: Tower of Babel
Thursday, May 16 2019, 06:30 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek Tower of Babel by Christopher L. BennettMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a good continuation of the first book in the series. Here the federation is encouraging the aligned systems of Rigel to join the federation. I always thought that the Rigelians were a homogenous society, but apparently not. Also interesting that they were currently ruled by mobster families. Overall an interesting story,

Review: A Choice of Futures
Wednesday, May 15 2019, 06:30 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek A Choice of Futures by Christopher L. BennettMy rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a good start to the Rise of the Federation series. There is an interesting description of where the TOS uniform colors came from, an overview of what's happening to the fleet, the growing pains of getting different alien peoples to work together, and so on. On top of that, the federation is already being seen as

Review: The Romulan War: To Brave the Storm
Tuesday, May 14 2019, 09:00 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek The Romulan War: To Brave the Storm by Michael A. MartinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars A satisfying end to the Earth-Romulan war. When all is said and done Trip is still out in the shadows, Archer is now a commodore, and the Vulcans, Telaraties, and Andorians finally came back to the table. Archer is hinted at becoming president of the Federation one day. There was also a nice little epilogue years

Got some more accolades (STO)
Sunday, May 5 2019, 04:00 achievements, Entertainment, MMORPG, Sci-Fi, StarTrek, video games, VideoGames, Windows It's been a while since I played Star Trek Online with the intent to be on the accolade hunt. I actually I thought I had most of them, but then I came across a list created by one of the game's other players and saw that I was missing a considerable amount. After clearing out the retired accolades (ones that you can't get any longer), and the ones that you can in theory get, but you need

Review: Handbook of Narrative Inquiry: Mapping a Methodology
Friday, May 3 2019, 04:30 Books, goodreads, PhD, research, review, School, Social Media, Social Networks Handbook of Narrative Inquiry: Mapping a Methodology by D. Jean ClandininMy rating: 5 of 5 stars While I didn't read this book cover-to-cover I did find quite a few chapters quite useful in thinking about and designing my narrative inquiry project.

Review: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing
Thursday, May 2 2019, 04:00 Books, Entertainment, goodreads, novel, review, Sci-Fi, Social Media, Social Networks, StarTrek The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing by Michael A. MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This book continues on from the previous couple of novels and explores the first year of the Romulan war. Archer becomes a Commodore (interesting how they say it's an archaic title, but still used, perhaps foreshadowing the change of the rank name around TNG). Trip's alive (yay); there are heavy losses
