Synopsis
When something in the galaxy needs to be fixed, tweaked, investigated, or repaired, the Federation sends in the best: the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. Traveling throughout the quadrant on the Sabre-class U.S.S. da Vinci, Captain David Gold, former Starship Enterprise™ engineer Commander Sonya Gomez, and the crack S.C.E. team solve the problems of the galaxy, one disaster at a time. ...
On an amble through the downtown Minneapolis library, I spotted this Trek book. It's an anthology, of some Starfleet Corps of Engineer (SCE) stories, originally published as ebooks. This reminded me I had one back at home, unfinished.... and a trip ahead. I have fond memories of taking Trek books on trips, so 1) I picked this one up. 2) packed the book at home. and .. 3) bought two more SCE anthologies for the Kindle to bring on our California trip...
It was a nice choice - for some reason I've enjoyed having a Trek book or two handy while travelling - I think I've been doing that since 1986..... The one paperback I had was easy to carry as we travelled about (mostly to/from Disneyland) ... I finished this one on the plane. Read the first ebook on and off through the trip. And I still have one to read in the Kindle. (AND, I picked up another SCE title, and a couple of Trek books at the library when we returned. You COULD say I'm on a bit of a Star Trek jag....).
Handy thing about the Kindle - I could Google things in the books that were unfamiliar, to fill in details about the SCE and Canon or non-Canon Trek details that I didn't know/remember. Helped me discover
Memory-Beta, the non-canon Trek Wiki. (Goes along with
Memory-Alpha).
