Taking Wing by Michael A. Martin

Taking Wing (Star Trek: Titan, #1)Taking Wing by Michael A. Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nice beginning to the journeys of the USS Titan. After listening to Fortunes of War, I needed to rewind to the beginning of the Titan's journeys.

Dead Endless by Dave Galanter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A clever direction - philosophical and mysterious and more!

Galanter gives us the USS Discovery ... but one with CAPTAIN Burnham. A Paul Stamets meeting Hugh Culber ... but not his Hugh. And there's a talking (sort-of) tardigrade. It's a very trippy story - but one that leverages off of ideas and events within the Discovery series in an interesting and engaging way.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent!
Five stars, because I can't give it six or seven. Really, I can't say enough about how excellent this was. Serious hard SF and a moving human story. Don't miss it!

Doctor's Orders by Diane Duane

Precious Blood (The Gregor Demarkian Holiday Mysteries)Precious Blood by Jane Haddam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The second of Haddam's Demarkian stories, this has lots of interesting tension and puzzles. I can't say I care for the Cardinal, but his insistence on NOT allowing the police to inspect the possibly poisoned sacramental wine added a clever dimension to the story.
