As we approached the hospital, the song "For Once in My Life" came on the radio, hauntingly rendered by Robert Goulet. I was living every word of it, silently, very near tears, thinking about how caring for De these past weeks had been my opportunity to pay him back for all the times he had been there for me. The lyrics hit me hard. I had no idea they were affecting De as well. As I was sterring the Lexus to the hospital entrance and braking to a stop, the final line ("I have someone who needs me") rang out.
De reached over, patted my hand sincerely and said, "I need you, dear girl." Tears flooded my eyes and I cried out, "Oh, God, De!" I exited the door, went to the trunk, lifted the wheelchair out, unfolded it and then pushed it to his side of the car. As I lifted De out of the car, I sniffled, "You have perfect timing, Mr. Kelley!" We were both in tears. He said, "You're terrific," and I said, "You're pretty terrific yourself, you know!" We wept all the way to Carolyn's room.
Just before leaving the hospital I whispered into De's room as he slept, "Goodnight, sweet prince." It made me cry, but it seemed a good way to ask the angels to keep a close eye on him.
Like Susan Sackett's Inside Trek: My Secret Life With Star Trek Creator Gene Roddenberry, published in 2002, this is not so much a biography as the story of the author's relationship with someone associated with Star Trek. In this case, there's considerably less about Star Trek, as Smith, unlike Sackett, never worked on the show. The book starts with some convention experiences and builds to the friendship between Kelley and Smith in Kelley's last few months (the last third of the book is about Kelley dying of cancer). There appears to be considerable time and attention spent on subjects like animals and spirituality.

Sherlock Holmes. Dr. Watson. Captain Kirk. Dr. McCoy. Spock. And Denebian Slime Devils? What's up? It's elementary! Here, gathered together for the first time, are Dana Martin Batory's rare science fiction parodies combining the very dissimilar worlds of Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek. Published between 1978 and 1991, the twelve short stories (plus one written especially for this book), appeared in the small fan magazine The Holmesian Federation, now a much sought after collector's item itself. The strange tales follow the life and adventures of Holmes and Dr. John H. Watson among the alien citizens and worlds of the Federation of Planets from their "robotic" origins in "A Nostalgic Country of the Mind," to the stunning success of their first case in "Everything Comes In Circles", and Watson's own solo investigation in "Watson Comes Through."
The game's afoot!
As the blurb indicates, this is a collection of Holmes/Trek crossover stories, most originally published in a fanzine. The book is a nicely produced small press hardcover edition.
Much Ado About Nothing: paghmo' tIn mIS: The Restored Klingon Version
William Shakespeare, translated by Nick Nicholas
Klingon Language Institute
199 pages
Preface by Lawrence M. Schoen
Introduction by Nick Nicholas
paghmo' tIn mIS
Much Ado About Nothing
The Klingon Language Institute continues its program, inspired by a line of dialogue from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, of translating Shakespeare into Klingon as though restoring the "original Klingon" versions of the plays. The preface and introduction share the conceit that this is a restoration of a Klingon play by Wil'yam Shex'pir. The book has the text of the play in both Klingon and English on facing pages, along with explanatory footnotes for archaic terms and references in the English version.

Appendix: List of Series, Episodes, and Films
A remarkable treatment of the religious themes threading through one of America's science fiction icons
Is there a God? What eveil lurks beyond the stars? Can science save one's soul? Profound questions like these have consumed human thought over the ages; they also inspired the original creators of the Star Trek canon of TV series and films. Religions of Star Trek tackles these challenging questions head-on and examines tin detail the humanistic vision of creator Gene Roddenberry. It is a remarkable look at one of sci-fi's great success stories.
Analyzing more than three decades of screen adventure, the authors depict a Star Trek transformed, corresponding to the resurgence of religion in American public discourse. The authors analyze Star Trek's many religious characters, tracing the roots of scientific humanism to more contemporary aspects of religion and spirituality. Through it all, the creators' visionary outlook remains constant: a humanistic faith in free will and the salvific nature of dispassionate scientific inquiry.
Praise for Religions of Star Trek
"This engaging book explores the richness and inconsistency of Star Trek's representation of religion over the thirty years of its existence. Finding Star Trek's treatment of religion a mirror of the changing place of religion in American public life, the authors examine such topics as evil, life after death, science and religion, and salvation. The book goes a long way toward explaining America's attraction to Star Trek by identifying the spirituality it focuses."
- Margaret R. Miles, Dillenberger Professor of Historical Theology, Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
I haven't read this one yet, but it looks more promising than some of the other books on the subject.

Three sides.
One official guide.
Federation forces have orders to launch the first ever offensive in their new war with the Borg -- a strategic operation into the heart of the Delta Quadrant to eliminate the Borg threat once and for all. Such an operation carries risks -- only some of which can be anticipated... unless you have the strategy guide!
Don't leave the Alpha Quadrant without this:
Mission strategy: Detailed maps and strategy for all 30 missions -- Federation, Klingon, and Borg -- including Preliminary Intelligence, Situation Report, and Strategic Analysis.
Intelligence Data: A complete rundown of all the Starships and Stationary Assets in the game.
Basic training: Everything you need to know about navigating the ships and managing your resources.
Although there's a 2002 copyright by Pearson Education, the printing information and the Paramount copyrights indicate a 2001 publication date, and the book was in stores in late 2001.
As should be obvious, this is a hint book for a computer game. Gamers and possibly fans interested in space battles may find this useful.

Star Trek: Celebrations
Maureen McTigue
183 pages
Federation and Starfleet
Other Life-Forms, Cultures, and Experiences
Food For Thought and Holiday Happenings
Ever wonder what to serve at a Klingon Day of Ascension? Just can't remember if you bring a gift to a Rumarie celebration? Can't recall if on Galvin Five, a marriage is considered successful only if children are produced within a year or three of the wedding? You know that Damok was on the ocean, but you can't recall just what that means? Have no fear! Finally, you too can come prepared to any celebration held anywhere in the Federation.
Culled from the data resources of every world, this comprehensive and handy guide will let you walk into any celebration with assurance. Clearly laid out are the complex and compelling cultures that are a part of this vast Federation. Plus: in a special section are the celebrations that have become part of the traditions of Starfleet. From promotion to ship commissioning, from the high solemn occasion of the passing of a member of the crew to the joyous exchange of marriage vows, you can be a part of it all!
It's a strange concept for a book, but it's one of the few books to look at the traditions of Star Trek's cultures. It was also, no doubt, considerably less expensive to produce than the larger reference books full of color photos Pocket was publishing a couple years earlier.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: N-Vector by K.W. Jeter, Toby Cypress, and Jason Martin
Star Trek: New Frontier: Double Time by Peter David, Michael Collins, and David Roach
Star Trek is known across the world for the wide variety of stories it encompasses. The extent of that variety is found here in a single collection comprising characters from two different television series and one novel series, by an assortment of writers and artists working at the top of their game.
Star Trek: Other Realities contains Star Trek - All of Me by Tony Isabella and Bob Ingersoll, Aaron Lopresti, and Randy Emberlin; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - N-Vector by K.W. Jeter, Toby Cypress, Jason Martin and Mark Irwin; Star Trek: New Frontier - Double Time by Peter David, Michael Collins, and David A. Roach.
Whether into deepest space or through the very fabric of time itself, these tales take the reader on a journey through realities where nothing is as it seems, and danger lurks around every corner.
This is a paperback reprint of several of Wildstorm's Star Trek comics, the single issue original series and New Frontier stories and the four-part Deep Space Nine story. N-Vector is set after "What You Leave Behind" and ties in with Pocket's current Deep Space Nine relaunch. Double Time is the only New Frontier comic so far. A time travel story, it was written to fix continuity problems between the New Frontier books and the Trek series in general.

Appendix G: Works Consulted and Cited
A fan of Star Trek since seeing her first episode "Devil in the Dark," Alva Underwood has provided a wealth of information about that world as offered in the first twelve novels that appeared between 1970 and 1979. She has brought together, as much as possible, far-flung information from a variety of sources, providing complete documentation of sources and a bibliography. Offered here are biographies of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, Sulu, Chapel and, of course, the Enterprise. Found within are tantalizing glimpses of the Romulans (originally Vulcan stock that chose to leave Vulcan), Klingons who hate and fear Kirk but find him utterly fascinating, and a greater variety of aliens than could be seen in the TV episodes. Did you know that Kirk enjoys romboid cakes served either with a dressing or jelly? Just how many Alices did Mudd create? That Kirk, Spock, and McCoy have had enough dalliances to have fathered a small town of offsprings? That quivas are cultivated on Vulcan? That NCC stands for Naval Construction Contract? This reference is a must for the serious reader of Star Trek novels.
Well, this is a first: a book that's moved from the Lost Books page to the main pages of this site. And it's one with a very long title, too, according to the title page, which has it as A Star Trek Reader's Reference of Characters, Places, Events, References, Allusions in Twelve Novels: 1970-1979 First Volume in a Series. And that's pretty much what this is, though how many future volumes will appear remains to be seen. This particular volume covers the Bantam novels from Spock Must Die to Devil World (including Mudd's Angels) and the Pocket novelization of Star Trek - The Motion Picture. The book is arranged like an encyclopedia, with entries ranging from a line or two to a page or more.
Here's the info that was on the Lost Books page until now:
According to Books in Print, a book called Star Trek Reader's Reference, by Alva Underwood, was supposed to be published by Commonwealth Publications, a Canadian company. Unfortunately, the publisher has gone out of business. Commonwealth's website has died, phone lines have apparently been cut off, all employees have been laid off, and there are dozens of court cases pending against the company, according to information from the May 1998 issue of Quill & Quire, the Canadian publishing industry news magazine.
According to an email exchange with the author, this was to be a reference book for readers of original series novels, consisting of short entries on characters, planets, organizations, and such appearing in the novels. The book is finished but unpublished; anyone interested can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for the author's address to find out about buying a printout version of the book from Underwood.
The second volume, covering fifteen novels published by Pocket from 1980 to 1983, was published in 2002.

Star Trek Starship Spotter
Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz and Robert Bonchune
128 pages
Starfleet Ships & Facilities
Klingon Empire
Romulan Star Empire
Cardassian Union
Delta Quadrant
Starship Spotter was created more than two centuries ago to serve as a reference guide to assorted space-going vessels. Captains of the spaceships of the United Earth Space Probe Agency used this simple paper tool to enable a ship's crew to quickly distinguish friend from foe in the unexplored reaches of the cosmos. When the services were merged to form Starfleet, this paper book disappeared from use. Only recently rediscovered, the newest editions of this book have been the sole purview of Starfleet Academy.
Each year, a new class of Starfleet cadets carefully reviews and revises the contents. The ships displayed in Starship Spotter have been chosen as a tribute to the crews who have served on them and the valor shown, regardless of the ship's affiliation. Although only thirty ships could be included, the cadets feel these ships reflect the noble history of space travel.
We proudly present to you the Class of 2383 edition of Starship Spotter.
Apparently, this was originally something of a stopgap release while the artists and Pocket continued trying to get Unseen Frontier published. However, that book, which was inspired by the success of the Ship of the Line calendars, has since been cancelled. Taken on its own, this is an interesting book, with each ship getting a page or two of stats and background, a black and white wireframe model, and a two-page, full color, computer graphics image. While it isn't the ultimate encyclopedia of starships that some fans have been dreaming of, in its own right it's a worthwhile experiment.
Jonathan Lane and Alex Rosenzweig also contributed to this book.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Enemy Unseen
Keith R.A. DeCandido, Christopher Golden, Tom Sniegoski, and Scott Ciencin
Perchance to Dream
Embrace the Wolf
The Killing Shadows
In a long and distinguished career, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew have faced uncounted foes and vanquished incredible dangers. But what happens when the enemy can't be easily seen -- when it lurks in the shadows, disguises itself as polite society, or emerges from the depths of one's own mind? These are the antagonists with which the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise must contend in this volume, the most dangerous kind of enemy -- the enemy unseen.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Enemy Unseen contains three tales written by popular novelists, including Star Trek: The Next Generation - Perchance to Dream by Keith R.A. DeCandido, Star Trek: The Next Generation - Embrace the Wolf by Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski, and Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Killing Shadows by Scott Ciencin.
The second Wildstorm reprint omnibus, this volume reprints two four-issues stories and a one-shot. DeCandido is a new but prolific Trek writer. Embrace the Wolf is a sequel to the original series episode "Wolf in the Fold."
This was reprinted by IDW in 2012 as Star Trek Classics Volume 2: Enemy Unseen.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Forgiveness
David Brin
(inside flap blurb)
Colin Blakeney, 21st century inventor of the technology that will give the Earth the transporter and the holodeck, is the victim of a treacherous attack that beams him out of his world... and into forever.
Three hundred years later, the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E spot a stray transporter beam in deep space. On their way to an encounter with the Palami -- a hostile race that may be preparing for interstellar war -- Captain Picard and crew have other things on their minds, but realizing there's a living being inside the wayward beam, they bring it aboard... and encounter a mystery for the ages!
(back cover blurb)
The inventor of the technology that will give the Earth the transporter and the holodeck, caught in a web of betrayal, is beamed into space toward a dangerous rendezvous three hundred years in his future...
... as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise tensely prepares for an encounter that may erupt in new waves of interstellar war, when the Federation can least afford it. What they don't need now is a distraction -- or another crisis.
Like 2000's The Gorn Crisis, this is an expensive hardcover graphic novel written by a popular science fiction novelist new to Star Trek. Unlike Kevin J. Anderson, though, Brin is known for his own SF rather than media SF.
Star Trek: Voyager: Encounters With the Unknown
Nathan Archer, Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Janine Ellen Young, Doselle Young, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, and Dean Wesley Smith
False Colors
Avalon Rising
Elite Force
Planet Killer
When the Borg aren't really the Borg...
When the lines between magic and technology are blurred...
When the realities of war forge strange alliances
When an ancient foe returns for another encounter...
Lost in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 have been seeking a way home for years. But their quest is interrupted by encounters with an astonishing variety of foes -- and a few new friends. In this collection, Voyager meets a ship that looks, sounds, and smells like Borg, but doesn't seem to be Borg; finds itself caught in a Sargasso Sea of space, where only the most unlikely allies can help them battle a deadly adversary; explores a Camelot-like medieval world where questions of honor and chivalry are sorely tested; and encounters an enemy that Captain Kirk once bested -- but without the weapon that Kirk used to defeat it!
These four tales, written by popular novelists and comic book writers, exemplify all that's best about the adventures of Voyager on her long journey home -- courage under fire, determination to survive, intelligent responses to dangerous situations, and the humor and grace with which disparate people forced to live together in difficult circumstances learn to get along.
The TV series has recently come to an end, but the travails of the Voyager crew continue in this collection of exciting tales!
The third collection of Wildstorm comic reprints, this includes three one-shot stories and a three-parter, all Voyager stories. Elite Force is based on the computer game. Planet Killer is a sequel to the original Star Trek episode "The Doomsday Machine."
This book was reprinted in 2012 by IDW as Star Trek Classics Volume 3: Encounters With the Unknown.

Appendix A
Appendix B
This is an information-packed book detailing why people watch Star Trek (and television in general). Many different areas of Star Trek and general television viewing experiences are discussed. These areas include why people watch when they are in different moods or with different people, what they think they gain from watching, and a determination of what they really do gain from their viewing experiences. Personal and scientific data is evaluated and conclusions are drawn as to "what it is about Star Trek" that makes people watch it.
Plus, there are lots of neat scientific terms scattered throughout.
I haven't read this one, but if it isn't already evident, it looks like Hany published one of his university papers as a book through a vanity publisher. It's almost more a booklet than a book, but it is bound as a paperback and available through bookstores like amazon.com. The cover, with the author (I think) dressed up as a stereotypical Star Trek dork, is rather disturbing.

All I Ask Is a Small Ship (and a space station and a battle cruiser)
Countdown To "Tribble-ation"
Pay No Attention to the Man Behind That Curtain
Lights! Camera! Tribbles!
Originally conceived of more than thirty-five years ago, these dimunitive creatures have become stars in their own right. With uncanny grace and ease they have won hearts and upstaged stars.
They are tribbles.
When the writers of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were looking for the perfect episode with which their characters could pay homage and interact with the crew from the original Star Trek, "The Trouble with Tribbles" instantly came to mind.
Here is the story of how the wizards of Star Trek were able to create the magic that enabled -- with nothing more than countless hours of work -- ordinary actors to time-travel. This is the story behind the creation of the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations." This is The Magic of Tribbles.
A behind-the-scenes look at the return of the tribbles, this was, at one point, intended to be packaged in print form with a tribble. When that fell through, the book went on the back burner for some time. Too detailed at 117 pages to be included as a chapter of the Deep Space Nine Companion, it eventually became an early Pocket ebook. The ebook was originally available for free but is now for sale at Pocket's website.

(Star Trek) The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh Volume One
Greg Cox
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Q Continuum
"The most critical period in Earth's history." -- Gary Seven, Supervisor 194
Even centuries later, the final decades of the twentieth century are still regarded -- by those who know the truth of what really happened -- as one of the darkest and most perilous chapters in the history of humanity. Now, as an ancient and forbidden technology tempts mankind once more, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise must probe deep into the secrets of the past, to discover the true origins of the dreaded Eugenics Wars -- and of perhaps the greatest foe he has ever faced.
1974 A.D. An international consortium of the world's top scientists have conspired to create the Chrysalis Project, a top-secret experiment in human genetic engineering. The project's goal is nothing less than the creation of a new, artificially improved breed of men and women: smarter, faster, stronger than ordinary human beings, a super-race to take command of the entire planet.
Gary Seven, an undercover operative for an advanced alien species, is alarmed by the project's objectives; he knows too well the apocalyptic consequences of genetic manipulation. With his trusted agents, Roberta Lincoln and the mysterious Isis, he will risk life and limb to uncover Chrysalis' insidious designs and neutralize the awesome threat that the Project poses to the future.
But he may already be too late. One generation of super-humans has already been conceived. As the years go by, Seven watches with growing concern as the children of Chrysalis -- in particular, a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh -- grow to adulthood. Can Khan's dark destiny be averted -- or is Earth doomed to fight a global battle for supremacy?
The Eugenics Wars: Volume One is an engrossing and fast-paced thriller that explores the secret history of the twentieth century -- and the rise of the conqueror known as Khan.
Praise for Greg Cox
Assignment: Eternity
"Has the feel of an affectionate tribute to the original series... manages to capture the special ingredients that made it unique."
- SFX"Cox's story runs gleefully away from the readerin grand TOS style... a smart, funny, knowing story, and one well worth reading."
- TV Zone"Cox has flawlessly captured the essences of all characters concerned... I could scarcely put this down and always eagerly returned to it."
- DreamwatchThe Q Continuum
"Easily Cox's best Trek work to date, and his handlingof the Q is nearly as deft as Peter David's in Q-in-Law."

(Star Trek) Section 31: Cloak
S.D. Perry
They are the self-appointed protectors of the Federation. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, answerable to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group committed to safeguarding the Federation at any cost.
Once, in order to preserve the galaxy's fragile balance of power, Captain James T. Kirk carried out a dangerous mission to capture a cloaking device from the Romulan Star Empire. Months later, while investigating a mysterious disaster aboard a Federation starship, Kirk discovers that the same technology he obtained for the sake of peace is being put to sinister purposes. What the crew of the Starship Enterprise uncovers will send shock waves through the quadrant, as Section 31 sets in motion a plan that could bring the major powers of the galaxy to their knees.
No law.
No conscience.
No stopping them.
One of four novels thematically linked by the involvement of the secret Section 31 agency, this is Perry's first original series novel.
(Star Trek) Gateways Book One: One Small Step
Susan Wright
Scattered throughout the galaxy are Gateways capable of transporting matter and energy across unfathomable distances. Left behind by a long-vanished civilization, these mysterious portals offer a means of exploration -- or conquest -- many times faster than warp travel. The technology responsible for the Gateways has been lost for at least ten millennia, but that doesn't mean it can't be found again....
Having defeated the hostile computer program guarding an abandoned Kalandan outpost, Kirk and his crew are exploring the artificial planetoid in hopes of discovering the secret of an ancient apparatus that has hurled the Starship Enterprise over nearly a thousand light-years. Unfortunately, the reactivated Gateway has attracted the attention -- and avarice -- of various alien explorers, including a mysterious race who claim to be none other than the enigmatic Kalandans themselves!
This is the first of seven books using a new marketing gimmick: each paperback novel, set in a different Trek series, ends in a cliffhanger, resolved in the final volume, a hardcover. One Small Step is a sequel to the original series episode "That Which Survives." The Gateways series as a whole features the technology of the Iconians, first seen in the Next Generation episode "Contagion."

(Star Trek: The Next Generation) The Genesis Wave Book Two
John Vornholt
The spectacular conclusion to the thrilling double-sized adventure!
Like an unstoppable cosmic storm, the dreaded Genesis Wave continues to sweep across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming entire planets on a molecular level and threatening entire civilizations with extinction. Based on the long-hidden scientific secrets of Dr. Carol Marcus, who has mysteriously disappeared, the wave of mutagenic protomatter seems to have come from nowhere, posing a cataclysmic menace to life as we know it.
To combat the rushing terror of the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been forced into a tense alliance with both the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both of whom may crave the forbidden secrets of the Genesis technology for themselves. The finest engineers of three civilizations, including Geordi La Forge and his long-lost love, Dr. Leah Brahms, must race against time to devise some way of halting the deadly wave before yet another world is transformed into something entirely alien and unrecognizable.
But even if, against all odds, the Genesis Wave can be defeated, Picard and his potentially treacherous allies must still confront the greater mystery of what unknown intelligence dared to launch the wave against an unsuspecting galaxy -- and for what malevolent purpose....
Praise for John Vornholt
"John Vornholt's Gemworld series sucked me in right from the start... a Trek adventure where there's substantial character development... and the aliens are all fascinating... an action-filled science fiction story."
- Michelle Erica Green, Mania Magazine"[Gemworld is] a cracking good ride, as fun and as fast as a bobsled dash. Vornholt infuses the book with a flavor of old-time sci-fi without losing his grip on what makes Star Trek a genre unto itself."

(Star Trek: The Next Generation 60) Tooth and Claw
Doranna Durgin
Ntignano was a populated world with a perfect sun -- until the right technology fell into the wrong hands. Now the sun is failing quickly, and the Starship Enterprise has just one chance to evacuate the fleeing refugees. Captain Jean-Luc Picard must succeed in delicate negotiations with the only people who can help them: a prickly neighboring species known as the Tsorans.
To assist in that effort, Commander Will Riker was assigned a very different diplomatic task. As a polite formality and show of good faith, he accompanied a young Tsoran prince to an exclusive hunting preserve. There, technology-damping fields and some of the galaxy's deadliest predators were supposed to test the untried noble's ability in the kaphoora -- the hunt. But the shuttlecraft didn't land on Fandre; it crashed.
Now, cut off from Tsora and the Enterprise, the survivors of the disaster face the ultimate struggle for survival. Without the aid of tricorders or phasers, Riker, his royal charge, and their would-be rescuers must fight for their lives with the only weapons they can muster -- spears and bat'leth, tooth and claw.
This is Durgin's first Star Trek novel. She has written a number of fantasy novels.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation 61) Diplomatic Implausibility
Keith R.A. DeCandido
200 years ago: The expanding Klingon Empire found a frozen world rich in deposits of the mineral topaline. They named the planet taD -- Klingon for "frozen" -- and they called the people jeghpu'wI' -- conquered.
Four years ago: The Klingon Empire invaded Cardassia, breaching the Khitomer Accords and causing a break with the Federation. On taD, depleted Klingon forces were overthrown in a small coup d'état, and the victorious rebels took advantage of the disruption to appeal for recognition from the Federation.
Now: The Klingons have returned to taD and re-established their control. But the stubborn rebels insist on Federation recognition. A solution to the diplomatic impasse must be found, a task that falls to the Federation's new ambassador to the Klingon Empire -- Worf.
Worf thinks of himself as a fighter, not a negotiator, but the Federation disagrees. Now, for the sake of the Federation and the Empire, a Klingon warrior must weave a fragile peace out of a situation ripe for war!
Though this is DeCandido's first Trek novel, it's not his first work in the Star Trek universe. He has written a comics miniseries for Wildstorm (Perchance to Dream) and one of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers ebooks, Fatal Error. DeCandido has also written tie-in novels for several comics.
Although this book is numbered as a Next Generation novel, it could also be considered a Deep Space Nine novel, as it is mainly about Worf, and is set after "What You Leave Behind," the Deep Space Nine finale. It can also be considered the first of the I.K.S. Gorkon novels.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation 62) Maximum Warp Book One: Dead Zone
Dave Galanter and Greg Brodeur
Interstellar civilization depends on the twin blessings of warp travel and subspace communications. But now an unknown force is disrupting subspace throughout the galaxy, creating "dead zones" in which advanced technology will not function. Ships are stranded in space, unable to communicate. Colonies are losing life support. Governments can no longer negotiate with their allies -- or their enemies. Worse yet, the dead zones are proliferating at a geometric rate. Unless a solution is found, the entire Alpha Quadrant may be doomed to a new dark age!
In the wake of the Dominion War, a tenuous peace exists between the Federation and the Romulan Empire. The uneasy alliance is strained to the breaking point, however, by the enigma that is destroying subspace. Now Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Ambassador Spock must join forces with an infamous Romulan war criminal in a desperate attempt to find the source of the disruption -- even if it means sacrificing the very peace they hope to save!
The latest collaboration by Galanter and Brodeur, this two-part story has some crossover elements with other Trek series.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation 63) Maximum Warp Book Two: Forever Dark
Dave Galanter and Greg Brodeur
A mysterious cosmic force is destroying the very fabric of subspace, rendering warp travel and interstellar communication impossible throughout scattered regions of the galaxy. Even worse, these "dead zones" are spreading rapidly, bringing the entire Alpha Quadrant to the brink of a new dark age. Only Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise stand a chance of reversing the decay by tracking the disruption to its ultimate origin.
Beyond the boundaries of the Federation, deep in uncharted space, Picard and his treacherous Romulan allies have discovered the source of the crisis: a vast alien mechanism suspended between a black hole and a nearby inhabited planet. The ancient device is all that prevents the imperiled planet from disappearing into the voracious black hole, but its cataclysmic effects are eroding subspace at speeds faster than light. Now Picard faces a wrenching dilemma: must he sacrifice an entire world to save the galaxy?
As above. This is the last of the numbered Next Generation novels.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation) Section 31: Rogue
Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin
They are the self-appointed protectors of the Federation. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, answerable to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group committed to safeguarding the Federation at any cost.
Six months before their ultimate battle against the Borg for the fate of Earth, Captain Jean-Luc Piccard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise face a very different kind of crisis. A world in turmoil becomes the focal point of conspiracies and betrayal as an unexpected reunion brings with it startling revelations. Old friends become bitter enemies, and one young officer reaches a crossroad when he's forced to choose between the greater good of the Federation and the ideals for which it stands.
No law.
No conscience.
No stopping them.
The first Star Trek novel by Mangels and Martin, Rogue is a prequel to the movie First Contact, centering on Lt. Hawk.
(Star Trek: The Next Generation) Gateways Book Three: Doors Into Chaos
Robert Greenberger
More than 200,000 years ago, the ancient Iconians created a network of interdimensional Gateways providing instantaneous transportation across unimaginable distances. Once known as the "Demons of Air and Darkness," the Iconians mysteriously vanished many millennia ago, never to return -- or so it was believed.
Summoned to an emergency briefing at Starfleet Headquarters, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is stunned to discover that the legendary Iconians have returned at last, and are offering to sell the secrets of their advanced technology to the Federation. To prove their sincerity, they have reactivated their long-abandoned Gateways, but the results have been strife and chaos throughout the entire Alpha Quadrant. Now Picard and his crew must contend with feuding Klingons and Romulans as the captain seeks to discover the sinister truth behind the Iconians' unexpected rebirth!
This is Greenberger's second solo Star Trek novel. Besides writing The Romulan Stratagem, he collaborated with other writers on a few other novels.

Perry has written a few previous media and videogame tie-in novels. Her first Star Trek fiction appeared in the 1999 anthology The Lives of Dax.

Mere days after the startling events of Avatar, Dr. Julian Bashir faces his darkest nightmare when Section 31 compels him to undertake a mission to stop one of their own. But this renegade is no ordinary agent. Like Bashir, Dr. Ethan Locken is genetically enhanced, a human superior in body and mind.

And as he begins to understand the terrifying truth about his opposite number, Bashir will learn more about himself than he ever wanted.

Now, at last, Voyager's epic trek may be nearing its end...
After so many perilous and astounding adventures, will Captain Janeway finally bring her wayward starship back to the Alpha Quadrant? And what will become of her diverse yet tightly knit crew? Will Chakotay, B'Elanna Torres, and the other former Maquis freedom fighters face long-delayed justice for their crimes against the Federation?

Dark Passions Book One
Susan Wright
Klingons and Cardassians rule the Alpha Quadrant in an uneasy alliance that hides a viper's nest of backstabbing plots and counterplots. Annika Hansen has become a trained operative for the Obsidian Order. Her latest target: Kira Nerys, the duplicitous Intendant of Bajor, whose ruthless ambition has brought her to a position of power second only to the Regent himself, the fierce Klingon warrior known as Worf. To get close to her prey, Annika must worm her way into the Intendant's notoriously fickle affections. Easy enough to accomplish, perhaps, but it remains to be seen who is truly manipulating whom....
This is a two-part novel set in the Mirror Universe, as introduced in the original series episode "Mirror, Mirror" and revisited in a series of Deep Space Nine episodes beginning with "Crossover." The books feature Mirror Universe counterparts of characters from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager.

Susan Wright
Intendant Kira, now Overseer for the entire Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, has entered into a dangerous liaison with Annika Hansen, unaware that Hansen is actually an agent of the Obsidian Order who has orders to kill Kira when the time is right. But her treacherous alliance is not the only danger the Intendant faces. Both Deanna Troi, the power-hungry consort of Regent Worf, and B'Elanna Torres, the half-human Intendant of the Sol System, are threatened by Kira's unquenchable ambition, and would be glad to see her deposed -- or worse.
As four powerful women scheme for control of the Alliance, who will survive? And who will claim the ultimate prize?

(Star Trek: S.C.E. 4) Interphase Part One
Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore
More than a century ago, the U.S.S. Defiant disappeared with all hands into an interspatial rift deep in Tholian territory. Now the derelict ship has been seen drifting in and out of ordinary space, and the Tholian authorities have reluctantly agreed to let Starfleet retrieve the Defiant from the rift. Perhaps, at long last, the lost ship can be brought home and its valiant crew paid their final respects.
Captain David Gold and an S.C.E. team from the U.S.S. da Vinci succeed in boarding the Defiant, but their investigation soon uncovers a dangerous secret. For more than a hundred years, an ancient super-weapon has been hidden away within the scarred and lifeless starship, along with evidence of a long-forgotten atrocity -- evidence that could ignite a vast interstellar war!
The first of several S.C.E. stories by Ward and Dilmore, Interphase is a sequel to the original Star Trek episode "The Tholian Web."

The enemy is armed with a new and improved version of their infamous energy web, and the da Vinci is badly outnumbered, but fleeing the battle means abandoning the captain and the others to an uncertain fate outside this universe. There, marooned aboard a derelict vessel, Gold and his S.C.E. team struggle to keep the madness-inducing effect of the rift from driving them to suicide and murder before they can find a way to escape the realm of Interphase.

David Mack and Keith R.A. DeCandido

The project's supervisor, Commander Sonya Gomez, must find a way to stop the deadly creature before it destroys the entire project and its workers.
But when the truth behind the shii is revealed, Gomez realizes that even one of the S.C.E.'s top officers may not be able to solve every problem...
The exciting conclusion to the gripping, all-new two-part adventure!

(Star Trek: S.C.E. 9) The Riddled Post
Aaron Rosenberg
The dilithium mining outpost on BorSitu Minor is an understaffed, uninteresting, unspectacular place full of miners, engineers, and scientists who have never done harm to anyone, nor do they have anything of value.
Yet the outpost has been devastated by a brutal assault, with almost all hands lost -- and the survivors have no idea what attacked them. Worse, the attack weapon appears to have the power to penetrate the outpost's powerful shields. That has the crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci worried, as it could just as easily destroy a starship!
Now the S.C.E. team, led by Commander Sonya Gomez, must find out the truth behind what ravaged the outpost, and hope that someone hasn't unleashed a weapon that could destroy them all!
Rosenberg's first of several S.C.E. ebooks is also his first published Star Trek fiction.
The Riddled Post is available in book form as part of Star Trek: S.C.E. Book Three: Some Assembly Required.
(Star Trek: S.C.E. 10) Here There Be Monsters
Keith R.A. DeCandido
After the events of What Lay Beyond, the Gateways crisis has finally come to a close and Starfleet can rest easy, knowing that another threat to the galaxy has been stopped.
Except for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers who, as usual, are left to clean up the mess.
While on a mission to Tellar, the U.S.S. da Vinci gets a distress call from the planet Maeglin. Still reeling from a previous attack, the natives of Maeglin find themselves under siege by a horde of alien creatures that came through one of the Iconian Gateways and are now hell-bent on destroying the planet!
Commander Sonya Gomez and her team of S.C.E. engineers must find a way to stop the rampaging monsters before it's too late!
This story follows on from the events of the multiseries, multibook Gateways crossover.
Here There Be Monsters is available in book form as part of Star Trek: S.C.E. Book Three: Some Assembly Required.
(Star Trek: S.C.E. 11) Ambush
Dave Galanter and Greg Brodeur
What started out as a simple supply run turns into a life-or-death struggle! The crew of the U.S.S. da Vinci thought they were just bringing mining supplies to Beta Argola. But en route they find out that the planet has been attacked -- by the same superior forces that are now overwhelming the da Vinci!
Overmatched by three enemy vessels that will not rest until the da Vinci is destroyed, the S.C.E. crew must use all of their wits to figure out how to take on a more powerful foe. And they have to do it soon, because the miners on Beta Argola are quickly running out of time before their reactor goes critical....
Galanter's first S.C.E. story is a collaboration with Brodeur, with whom he has written several Star Trek novels.
Ambush is available in book form as part of Star Trek: S.C.E. Book Three: Some Assembly Required.

has an Elmer's glue like consistent. I felt like I had glue all over my body.
Hesitant on buying this moisturizer while grocery shopping knowing i'd be in trouble if my skin care teachers at school found out, i proceeded to anyways.. it was a great deal with a high SPF so i thought id give it a try. I used product after using Neutrogena Grapefruit Scrub for 3 days. I NEVER breakout, have never had acne in my life! My chin feels tight with dry scabby patches of burning skin, which is tolerant. The 25 tiny pustules on the other hand is not. It looks as if i have baby acne and feels absolutely terrible. Yesterday was the first day i woke up with it, I used a chemical exfoliant from well-known Dr.renaud called "vegetale" along with "penaten" as a night time cream, also used for diaper rashes. Its better today and starting to dry up more but i havent stopped popping the hideous zits. Not sure how long this will last :(
I used this on our recent trip to Hawaii and although it seemed good (absorbed well etc.) by the end of the 10 day trip my nose was covered in tiny little pimples that took weeks to go away. I don't normally get that and was using no other new products so it was definitely the sunscreen.
My 12 yr old daughter used this for 3 days on her face. The first 2 days without incident. By the end of the third day her checks, forehead, nose, chin and neck are covered in a rash of small, red, pimple-like bumps that somewhat burn and itch. We have been treating her with benadryl and I am actually relieved to find these posts/reviews so that we know it is most likely the sunscreen that has caused this. I would not recommend this product for anyone with sensitive skin at all. We have been treating with benadryl for 2 days and the bumps are still present. Nasty product. We also bought this product at Costco in a multi-pack.
I applied the sunblock liberally one time on my forearms and the backs of my hands. Within 10 hours there was redness, small blisters and extreme itching on the arms and hands. Four days later the skin still itches, is swollen, and is peeling like a severe sunburn. Would suggest testing on a small area before using.
I wouldn't use, there must be something in it that is an irritant.
I used this the entire summer last year and I loved it until one of the last weeks of august. Underneath my eyes became red and swollen, had to use aloe [more complex vitamin E treatments made it worse] and stay out of the sun for it to go down.
I think this was a result of applying the product to skin that was very sensitive (under-eye skin is thin and it may have already irritated from too much time in the sun by that point). I'll still use it, but carefully.
Try it on a patch of skin before total use.
I use this product when i'm out in the sun and for a daily moisturizer. It helps with my acne.
Maybe everyone who is talking about the red rash is because they are allergic to something in the product.
I have been using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer dry touch sunblock for a long time, then when i bought my last couple tubes I developed a bad rash on my neck and arms that lasted for weeks.At first i thought it was from the salt water. then after the rash cleared i tried to use the Neutrogena Sunblock cream again in the morning by the afternoon i had huge red burning welts on my arms, neck and face. Now i know for sure its the cream. I think the company should check on the product its now selling
this never happened before, it also happened with their Age Face Shield Cream.I liked the product at one time ,but cant recommend it to anyone now.

ECONOMY: Rich in minerals, Sierra Leone has relied on the mining sector in general, and diamonds in particular, for its economic base. In the 1970s and early 1980s, economic growth rate slowed because of a decline in the mining sector and increasing corruption among government officials. By the 1990s economic activity was declining and economic infrastructure had become seriously degraded. Over the next decade much of Sierra Leone's formal economy was destroyed in the country's civil war. Since the cessation of hostilities in January 2002, massive infusions of outside assistance have helped Sierra Leone begin to recover.
Full recovery to pre-war economic levels will require hundreds of millions of additional dollars and many more years of serious effort by the Government of Sierra Leone and donor governments. Much of Sierra Leone's recovery will depend on the success of Government of Sierra Leone efforts to limit official corruption, which many feel was the chief culprit for the country's descent into civil war. A key indicator of success will be the effectiveness of government management of its diamond sector.
About two-thirds of the population engages in subsistence agriculture, which accounts for 52.5% of national income. The government is trying to increase food and cash crop production and upgrade small farmer skills. Also, the government works with several foreign donors to operate integrated rural development and agricultural projects.
Mineral exports remain Sierra Leone's principal foreign exchange earner. Sierra Leone is a major producer of gem-quality diamonds. Though rich in this resource, the country has historically struggled to manage its exploitation and export. Annual production estimates range between $250-300 million. However, not all of that passes through formal export channels, although formal exports have dramatically improved since the days of civil war (1999: $1.2 million; 2000: $7 million; 2001: $26 million; 2002: $42 million; 2003: $76 million; 2004: $127 million; 2005: $142 million). The balance is smuggled, where it possibly is used for money laundering or financing illicit activities. Efforts to improve the management of the export trade have met with some success. In October 2000, a UN-approved export certification system for exporting diamonds from Sierra Leone was put into place that led to a dramatic increase in legal exports. In 2001, the Government of Sierra Leone created a mining community development fund, which returns a portion of diamond export taxes to diamond mining communities. The fund was created to raise local communities' stake in the legal diamond trade.
Sierra Leone has one of the world's largest deposits of rutile, a titanium ore used as paint pigment and welding rod coatings. Sierra Rutile Limited, owned by a consortium of U.S. and European investors, began commercial mining operations near Bonthe in early 1979. Sierra Rutile was then the largest nonpetroleum U.S. investment in West Africa. The export of 88,000 tons realized $75 million in export earnings in 1990. The company and the Government of Sierra Leone concluded a new agreement on the terms of the company's concession in Sierra Leone in 1990. Rutile and bauxite mining operations were suspended when rebels invaded the mining sites in 1995, but exports resumed in 2005.
Since independence, the Government of Sierra Leone has encouraged foreign investment, although the business climate has been hampered by a shortage of foreign exchange, corruption, and uncertainty resulting from civil conflicts. Investors are protected by an agreement that allows for arbitration under the 1965 World Bank Convention. Legislation provides for transfer of interest, dividends, and capital.
The government passed the Investment Promotion Act in August 2004 to attract foreign investors and has been working with international financial institutions to lower its administrative barriers to trade Sierra Leone is a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). With Liberia and Guinea, it formed the Mano River Union (MRU) customs union, primarily designed to implement development projects and promote regional economic integration. However, the MRU has been inactive because of domestic problems and internal and cross-border conflicts in all three countries.
The future of the MRU depends on the ability of its members to deal with the fallout from these internal and regional problems. Sierra Leone's latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) poverty reduction and growth facility (PRGF) expired in June 2005. A new agreement is not yet in place, but Sierra Leone's economic policy is expected to shift from post-conflict stabilization to poverty-reduction efforts, including good governance and fighting corruption; job creation; and food security.
Sierra Leone continues to rely on significant amounts of foreign assistance, principally from multilateral donors. The bilateral donors include the United States, Italy, and Germany, but the largest are the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Vitaly Nikolaenko, a famous animal photographer, died 7 years ago. He spent 33 years traveling around the world and walked thousands of kilometers. His passion was brown bears. He met them 800 times and had 12 thousand shots of these animals.
He devoted his life to the brown bears. Unfortunately one of these animals took the Vitaly Nikolaenko's life in 2003
He was a naughty child spending much time outdoors. He didn't remember his father because he died during the war. At 14 years old Vitaly started reading classic literature and stopped being naughty. Later he joined the army and after that devoted himself to self-education.
At the young age he changed a great variety of different jobs. But one day he saw an advertisement that said: Kamchatka Peninsula needs a fish processor. So in 1965 he found himself in the Lavrov Bay processing herrings. Some time later he dropped this job for another one - a tourism instructor. And this was the very beginning of his acquaintance with the Valley of Geysers and its residents - brown bears.
Vitaly made tours and people always listened to him very attentively trying to catch every word he said. He was a great orator. He loved people and his job. And very soon he started to realize that tourism made the valley lots of harm. Geyserite was used for making souvenirs, trees were burnt down for making a fire, garbage was almost everywhere. In 1975 this tourist route was closed for improvement but money wasn't assigned for these purposes.
Since that time Vitaly started to learn the behavior of the brown bears in their natural habitat and collect priceless material about it (which made him popular around the world afterwards)

This all sounds so familiar. It's like I'm having quarterback controversy déjà vu. Let's see what Google has to say:
Philly.com – Amid speculation that he and the front office may not be in full agreement about the Eagles' quarterback situation, Andy Reid once again threw his support behind Donovan McNabb today.
"I haven't changed my opinion, and I don't think they [Joe Banner and Howie Roseman] have either," Reid told Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic. "They've agreed and mentioned kind of the same things I've said. Donovan's our quarterback."Reid is the decider, and he's unwavering in his decision: Kevin Kolb is his starter and Michael Vick is Kolb's backup.
"That's now what's happening," Reid said today when asked about the budding quarterback controversy, per Jordan Raanan of CSNPhilly.com. "Kevin Kolb is the No. 1 quarterback."
Hmm. Maybe these aren't necessarily adaptable to the current team's situation, but the fact remains that Reid has said very similar things before and they turned out to be untrue. Donovan was traded a month after the first statement and Kolb was benched a week after the second. These things change and bet that Andy said what he originally said very purposefully. The blowback was probably more than anticipated so he had to quell the uprising, but the fact remains that the scale is tipping from Vick to Foles and Mike is the only one with the power to slow it down.

What a weekend!
The Govenaires from St. Peter, MN, notched their 3rd Class A Championship on September 4, 2011 with an 84.93. Fusion Core from Morris County, NJ finished second with an 83.93, just edging out 3rd place Carolina Gold, who were only .08 behind with an 83.85 . Windsor Regiment, from Princeton Junction, NJ was the fourth finalist scoring 78.23 in their very first year in competition.
Just a couple of hours after the Govenaires turned in their championship performance, Minnesota Brass from St. Paul MN claimed the DCA Open Class World Championship, ending the astounding six-year run of the Reading Buccaneers. Minnesota Brass scored 98.35, followed by Buccaneers with a 97.45 .
In the Mini-Corps Championship, Star United from Indianapolis, IN shocked the packed house at the Rochester Convention Center on Friday night, September 2 with a stunning performance that earned them a score of 100 points!
And how about a standing-O for the Reading Buccaneers! What an accomplishment; six consecutive undefeated seasons, 64 straight 1st place finishes. An amazing accomplishment and a record that will be very tough to beat!
So we say goodbye to Rochester, New York - home of the DCA World Championship for the last six years as we set sail for Annapolis, Maryland for 2012 and 2013. Tickets are already on sale, exclusively through Drum Corps International.
If you have never been to a DCA World Championship weekend, you must! Not only is it 3 days of competitions, its largest drum corps social event you'll ever experience. Class A, Open Class, Prelims, Finals, Mini Corps, Individuals and Ensembles, a huge drum corps party for fans of all ages.
Here's a little 3 1/2 minute taste of the 2011 Championships we hope you'll enjoy. See you in Annapolis!
(ed. note: earlier, we incorrectly identified the Govenaires as the first corps from Minnesota to win a DCA title. Although no longer an active DCA corps, Chops, Inc. won the Class A title in 2005, a year before the Govenaires. Our apologies for the error.)

Times have changed across the big pond
Sunday, July 27, 2014
I recently went on vacation in Europe and it was an eye-opener for many reasons. I had not been back for about 30-plus years, which made the changes all the more emphasized.
Open borders mean countries in the European Union have agreed to the free movement of employees and goods. This is different from a trade agreement, as in the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. In the EU, it's the real deal.
The Big Recession here officially lasted from December 2007 to June 2009. I know, try telling that to someone who's still only working part-time or not at all. But, this compares to the EU's recession from January 2008 to April 2009, followed by a second recession in 2011 that's just ending now.
Also interesting was going into highway rest stops in Europe and not only finding quality restaurants offering nutritious meals served on real plates, but Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Burger King whoppers. |

I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with Rock Island Arms 1911.
I've been looking to buy a compact 1911 as my primary concealed carry piece and my gun guy has put me onto a R.I 1911 RA Tactical with a 3.5 in barrel.
Right now I am carrying either a Taurus 24/7 45 with a 4" or a Kel-Tec P11.
Both are nice guns, but I have always been a fan of the 1911.
Any feedback would be great.

Musical Youth
View In iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
The success that was predicted for teenaged ska and reggae band Musical Youth when their pro-marijuana single "Pass the Dutchie" sold more than four million copies in 1982 failed to come to fruition. Within three years, the band, who featured vocalist Dennis Seaton, keyboardist Michael Grant, and the Waite brothers — Patrick, who played bass and Freddie Junior, who played drums — had gone their separate ways. Although a reunion was conceived in 1993, the premature death of Patrick Waite at the age of 30 while in police custody put an end to these plans. The members of Musical Youth were attending Duddleston Manor School in Birmingham when the group was formed by the Waite brothers and their father, Frederick Waite, a former member of Jamaican vocal group the Techniques, who initially handled lead vocals. After the band signed with MCA in 1981, Dennis Seaton was recruited to sing lead. The following year, they hit gold with their single "Pass the Dutchie," based on the Mighty Diamonds' hit "Pass the Kouchie." Although the band released several subsequent singles, including "Unconditional Love" with Donna Summer and "Sixteen," they were unable to match the success of "Pass the Dutchie." The group splintered after the departure of Seaton in 1985.
