I recently gave a tour of my L. M. Montgomery collection, and today I thought I’d invite you to visit another shelf. I don’t discuss Star Trek as often, but I do have almost as many books! Check out the video below for some comments on my favorites. For my Trek fan readers, I’d love to hear about your favorite books too!
Fun. You should fill up McCoy with salt because he his all salt. Ha.
I’m the same as you… used to have a bunch of Trek books, but got rid of ’em, deciding to keep only the ones that were really good. I like a good Trek book, but it so hard to find one; and there are some bad ones out there. My favorite Trek author is Una McCormack. Especially her Cardiassian and Garak-centered books… I love Cardassians and she just gets them. One I’d really recommend is The Never-Ending Sacrifice. It’s based on this one Cardassian war orphan who was in a Deep Space Nine episode and then never heard from again. I also like A Stitch in Time, a book about Garak by the man himself, Andrew Robinson. Like I said, I love Cardassians, I love Garak, so learning more and reading more about them appeals to me very much.
And of course I remember your Star Trek fan fiction. 🙂 I always loved it because you got the characters. You know them so well. That’s what I look for in a Star Trek book… someone who knows the characters’ voices.
The salt vampire would really be after him then… 😉 Thanks for the book recommendations! I really enjoy the Cardassians, so those sound like an interesting angle on the Trek universe. Aww, and thanks for the good words on my long ago fanfiction – good character voices is what I look for too!
Good video tour. So, does the McCoy salt shaker have a mate, too, like Scotty maybe? I like how they match and were obviously created by the same place.
McCoy was actually paired with Uhura…I’m not sure why! I have the Uhura one in a box somewhere. I have nothing against her, but she isn’t quite the same level as the others…
