CANNONBALL! “Shadow Lord ”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #52

Shadow Lord by Laurence Yep

May 26, 2014 by Vangie13 9 Comments

by Laurence Yep “I speak from experience,” Mr. Spock said coldly. People are continually asking me to play roles in petty emotional melodramas in which I have asked neither to be cast nor directed.” Well, we go from the wonder and joy of “Uhura’s Song” to this. I don’t know what this is. Prince Vikram, 9th in line to the throne of the planet Angira, was sent to the Federation to study and bring back new modernized ways to his planet. Spock and Sulu travel […]

“Uhura’s Song ”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #51

Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan

May 25, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Janet Kagan “Sivao, where the north star beat like the heart of a child…” An insidious disease is ravaging the Federation. It began on Eeiauo and spread before it was known to be cross-species contagious. On her first mission, Uhura befriended a diplomat/dancer/singer from Eeiauo. They exchanged taboo songs and promised to never tell a soul. Uhura believes these secret songs may hold clues to cure the epidemic. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise must decipher the songs to cure the plague. […]

“The Vulcan Academy Murders ”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #50

The Vulcan Acadmy Murders by Jean Lorrah

May 25, 2014 by Vangie13 6 Comments

by Jean Lorrah “If you cannot be logical, be silent.” We open with a space battle between Enterprise and some Klingons. Chekov is injured. Spock quotes Hamlet. Crewman Remington is mortally injured, completely paralyzed from the skull down, but alive. McCoy can’t cure him, but Spock believes the doctors at the Vulcan Science Academy can. You see, Spock’s mother Amanda has degenerative xenosis. It is like an allergy to living on an alien world and thought to be incurable. A team of doctors at the […]

“The Glory of Living” A play script Vangie13 cbr #49

The Glory of Living by Rebecca Gilman

May 11, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Rebecca Gilman “They did. Because they’re of that type. It’s just a thing that happens to a type. And it woulda kept happenin’ forever.” The Present. Rural deep South. Imagine a triangle, with the points being Murfreesboro, TN; Atlanta, GA; and Birmingham AL. Poverty. Poor education. Nothing to do. Lisa is 15. Her mother is a prostitute and she entertains her clients behind a sheet in the living room of the trailer house where she lives with her kids. Lisa has literally seen it […]

“Hush” A play script Vangie13 cbr #48

Hush by April de Angelis

May 11, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by April de Angelis “Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” — Macbeth Act 5, Scene 5” Hush is set on a dismal beach a year after Jo has mysteriously disappeared. It is about the effects that the disappearance is having on those she left behind. Or else it’s about socialism and the failure […]

“The Tears of the Singers”: Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #47

The Tears of the Singers by Melinda Snodgrass

May 11, 2014 by Vangie13 2 Comments

by Melinda Snodgrass “Tension was turning (Spock’s) head and neck into a mass of pain, and he bitterly regretted the series of circumstances which had left him trapped helplessly here on the planet’s surface while far overhead, in the frigid darkness of space, his captain battled for his life.” Ok, I’m done with my Vulcan/Romulan sidetrack. I can now get back to my chronological journey through Star Trek Novels. Top of the list is another novel I remember being a favorite. Let’s see if it […]
