The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway — Una McCormack

By 5t4n5

The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway -- Una McCormackI’ve been looking forward to reading this for quite some time now but just haven’t gotten around to it until now.   And i’m glad i finally did.

Admittedly, this book will only be for those of us who totally loved Star Trek Voyager and it’s brilliant captain and crew.   If you do fall into this niche market and you haven’t yet read this book, then please do so, i can’t imaging anyone who loved the series would be disappointed with this lovely book.

My only gripe, is that we had to wait for so long for it to be written and published.   I would have loved to have read this before, during and after the series, it would have been a wonderful companion for every viewer.

But, it is what it is, and it was wonderful to be taken back in time to relive a few memories of the series, and also to find out lots more about Kathryn and her life before and after.

And i just found The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard, and it certainly won’t be long before i read that.

Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope — Una McCormack

By 5t4n5

Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope -- Una McCormackThis needs to be read before Star Trek: Picard (the new TV series), or at any time after you begin watching it and wonder what happened to Picard that lead him to becoming an Admiral and then leaving Star Fleet.

This is a very well written story covering everything we need to know to more enjoy the series including how Picard met Raffi and their history; when and why Raffi started hitting the booze; Picard’s history with Elnor; the Romulan exodus, supernova and Picard’s part in it; the synth rebellion on Mars including Bruce Maddox and Agnes’ history; and many other things besides.

There are a few glaring omissions in this book: it becomes very clear that the Romulan sun did not go bang naturally, that there was something nefarious going on which was deliberately covered up by the Tal Shiar.   I can only imagine one reason for not exploring this further in this book and that is because it will be dealt with in further seasons of the TV show — or another Una book?   Whichever it is it certainly has the potential to stir up a huge bowl of gagh for our future Trekkie entertainment cravings.

So yeah, a must for all Trekkies.
