RECENT UPDATES AND REVIEWS
  Returned, but not back.:
10/12/2005: Last month, after an absence of 2 years, 1 month and 8 days, I returned home.
As far as the Star Trek section of my site goes, I'm however not back. Pretty much all my energy is going to my new web development company, and such time as is left desires to be spent actually reading books instead of writing about them.

I think the time has come to officially throw in the towel for this part of my site. If anyone enthusiastic about Star Trek books out there (and ideally already running some kind of "review" site) would like to benefit from such effort as I've put into gathering information here, please feel free to. I can provide a zip file with all scanned covers as present on the site, and the painstakenly typed out excerpt/coverblurbs/thoughts on the books in whatever form would be most useful.

Don't worry, if no one contacts me on that, the site as it currently exists will remain available for the foreseeable future; I just will no longer pretend to still go and update things.

In the meantime, I recommend The Complete Starfleet Library for basically a list of every single Star Trek book ever published, and Trekkieguy's book reviews for some thoughts on Classic Trek books.

An update on the Star Trek books section, such as it is.:
22/10/2004: Blwaerp. *waves to whoever will be reading this*
Okay, so I suck. I'm also in the middle of a two year trip traveling around the world, having more fun and seeing more beautiful places than should be legally allowed (see my weblog for that), but that's poor excuse. Well, actually it's a very good excuse, as first embarking upon it immediately after finishing my Master's thesis caused me to not have time to review any of the Star Trek books I had sitting at my desk at that point, and then it meant that I was completely dependent on other people for some stages of getting my server back online after it crashed spectacularly (which, yes, took a very long time), but still...

What's here right now is about the same as what was here two years ago, and that just doesn't do. Yet, still having a year of traveling ahead of me, I won't be doing any catching up anytime soon, and even afterwards it's doubtful how much time I'd be spending on this section of my site, as I've quite stopped caring about current Trek (even if the books still appeal at least moderately to me).

So... Where does that leave the site? I don't really know. Dependent on what's currently out there as far as Star Trek book sites goes (are there any others which focus on 'reviews' on the scale that I've tried to?) I might feel obliged to embark upon the most important task in the lifetime of any project, which is to find a new maintainer. Or maybe I can with only a moderate amount of time (all I have available) retool the site to allow you, the reader, to maintain the site for me - make it community driven. (Assuming of course that enough people would care.) I don't know, but I'll be thinking about it. The one thing you can be certain of is that I won't do is just abandon things. (Though I realize that appearances might be against me.) :)

12-book TNG series coming in 2004:
24/05/2003: I'm not quite yet ready to continue reviewing Trek books, but here's a tidbit of news that I thought people might be interested in.
Starting in February 2004, Pocket Books will do a 12-book TNG series, covering "the time from about a year before Nemesis right up to the movie. [The books will] deal with the changes in the characters' lives that Nemesis dropped in without explanation [..], and also deal with the political situation in the Federation as the struggle to rebuild from the Dominion War goes on."

I'll leave it up to all of you to decide if a series of this magnitude would be a good thing or not.
