Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for L.A. Graf‘s “Star Trek: New Earth: Book 3: Rough Trails“: I tried reading the New Earth miniseries years ago, but wound up not being able to get through it.

TrekCore has a review up for Christopher L. Bennett‘s “Star Trek: The Original Series: The Captain’s Oath“: It is great to have Bennett back writing Star Trek novels. He is almost certainly the best Star Trek novelist at deploying real science in a way that works with the Star Trek mythos, and he has such a solid command of the Star Trek canon […]

Fontana‘s “Star Trek: 44 Vulcan’s Glory“: During her time on Star Trek, Dorothy Fontana was responsible for much of Spock’s character development, so it is no surprise that Spock plays a large role in Vulcan’s Glory.
