Set during the five year mission of The Original Series, the next Trek novel I found myself exploring serves as a bit of a sequel to the episode The Lights of Zetar and is notable as the first novel written by the Reeves-Stevens couple of Garfield (referred to as Gar on the cover) and Judith….

Star Wars: Last Shot (2018) – Daniel Jose Older
I’ve read a slew of Star Wars books, though not so many since the blog started as I used to. They are fun, entertaining, enjoyable, and now that they are considered canon, usually that much more detail-oriented in tying in with the rest of the universe. Last Shot, a Han and Lando novel is all…
Captain Marvel (2019) – Blu-Ray Review

Han Solo’s Revenge (1979) – Brian Daley
A year before we were given the second installment in the Skywalker Saga, Brian Daley gave us the second book in his Han Solo trilogy. Remember, this was long before the film series took off. When this book came out, there was no internet, and as a kid I had no way of knowing that…
Star Wars: Han Solo at Star’s End (1979) – Brian Daley

There were Marvel comics which were hokey but still fun, and before The Empire Strikes Back came along we had to use our imagination…

Indiana Jones and the Philosopher’s Stone (1995) – Max McCoy
Nicholas Flamel. The Philosopher’s Stone…. No, I’m not re-reading the Harry Potter books, at least not yet, I’m digging into the next Indiana Jones adventure. Coming two years before the first Harry Potter novel, Max McCoy’s first stab at an Indiana Jones story melds the legendary tomb of Hermes, and the enduring myth of alchemy,…
Star Trek: Final Frontier (1988) – Diane Carey
The Human Adventure continues… I’ve mentioned before that when I was growing up in Bermuda, Trek books were a big thing for me. I would hit the local shops, tracking down novels as they were released, and hunting down ones I’d missed. I remember when this one came out, it was the third in the…
