How many issues will it be, that's the big question! Undetermined based on the information on the website. A well thought out sales strategy. |

That screw box is the finest bit of tat I have seen in a good long while. Worth £10!!!

I can't find it in the shops so I presume it is a regional trial launch. The new partworks I see everywhere are for Terminator and the Bismark (which I presume you sink in the last issue).

Terminator and the Bismark does sound like an amazing crossover.

Yeah saw that the other day. Sad. Her version of The Search for Spock is fab and I was glad to reacquire a copy last year!

A bit of a mess up with the Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection Issue 64.The volume has reprinted all the wrong material instead of issues 27 to 32 of DC Star Trek: TOS volume 1 its reprinted 27-31 of DC Star Trek: TOS volume 2.
Never have I came across one of these graphic novel that reprints all the wrong material !

Wow. The Star Trek GN collection is actually still a thing.
I am surprised.

Unexpected charity shop find recently, which has now been read...
John M Ford's "How much for just the planet?" I remember it being good - fortunately it still holds up really well. After all, how can one not love a book which has the audacity to turn itself into a Gilbert and Sullivan musical for its entire middle section(yes, a prose musical. It is as absurd a thing as it sounds.), riffs on Sword-and-Planet adventure tropes, classic Hollywood thrillers and has Captain Kirk as a central part of a good old-fashioned "exit stage left" farce with a Klingon Captain...all in the same story about the Klingons and Federation competing over a planet stuffed fill of more dilithium than anyone has ever seen in one place...
As far removed as you can get from Ford's other notable Star Trek contribution - "The Final Reflection" - it is, in my opinion, some of the best outright comedy done with Star Trek. Well worth a read if you get the chance.

That was one of my childhood Trek novels and was re-read the most (along with The Three-Minute Universe). IRRC there was a big pie fight at the end. Alas, my copy was lost a few years ago.
There has been steady fan demand for a reprint line of older novels, even just in ebook format, but it hasn't caught on with the publisher.

It does indeed end with a glorious, glorious pie/trifle/other desert fight. A great ending to a fantastic story. Not read The Three-Minute Universe. It was one I always saw the cover of in things but never actually had access to.
I think my most re-read would probably be Dreadnaught! or Vendetta. With it being even honours as to which would take the crown really.

Post by Fortmax2020 on Aug 15, 2019 21:25:20 GMT
It doesn't mention being the second giant one on the cover. An obvious lie even at the time!
I am still waiting for the regular Vendetta.
