    “Dead Endless” was a very unique Discovery novel - essentially the story of Culber while he was trapped in the mycelial network, hanging around with his buddy Efraim the Tardigrade.

      Wild.

      I usually pick up the new books in paper editions, but don’t have this one.

      You’ve made me curious, so it looks like I should add this one to my e-reader.

      The Destiny trilogy is at the top of my ‘must read’ Treklit list. It’s just great science fiction.

      I really think anyone writing for the new shows should read it, especially the EPs.

      Mack’s Cold Equations trilogy runs close. I really like how Picard season three seemed to pick up some ideas on where Data might evolve to.

      They’re very good about including some of the favourites on a regular basis.

      There’s almost always a good representation of books in the ‘if you haven’t read them, you should’ category.
