Here’s the latest in the Danab Cycle, the title story previously serialized on the Cycle blog during this year’s A to Z Challenge, giving readers insight into the central Danab conflict of the Cycle, what happened in the aftermath of the war that followed humanity’s invasion by the Danab…Packed with footnotes as well as a few additional stories, some that appeared elsewhere and some that are new to this volume.
Here’s somehow an even more personal book, a collection of stories I previously had written for family (including a few new ones), a sort of Oz/Winnie the Pooh combination of colorful characters in a whimsical landscape in which they engage in the kind of life-affirming tales I think are still relevant. Hilariously, I packed this edition with footnotes that in large part will be somewhat impenetrable to readers unfamiliar with the details of family lore, so that, somehow, some future edition will actually require footnotes for the footnotes…
Finally, here’s a guide for the Star Trek franchise in its first sixty years (1966-2026) that seeks to find the good throughout every series and film, the perspective I’ve very much had as a fan but one I’ve never seen in one place. Each series has spotlight episodes from throughout their runs (through the first season of Starfleet Academy), both the classics acknowledged by others and stories I think reflect brilliantly both on the series itself and the franchise in general. Previously I attempted to provide such a resource in a blog, but gosh, did that become sprawling, and of course there was never a guarantee that someone, say, interested in The Next Generation would also give a write-up for Discovery a second (let alone first) thought…Includes recommendations for essential viewing, a top ten, from throughout their runs franchise.
