@Tellington is that a good thing?

Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de

@hankg@bookwyrm.social It's a bit longer than it needs to be, but otherwise good, and if you are taking it as your jumping off point for DS9-Relaunch series you will not be disappointed.

Folding space and getting to know the new guys
4 stars
I liked the Sword of Damocles. This is the first book of Thorne I have read. While the plot may not have been the best of the Star Trek: Titan series, I may have been the best written. If I had read it years ago, I probably would have hated it, as the story is not linear. For example, the first chapter is the Epilogue. I was upset originally because I thought the author/editor was an idiot, it was only several chapters later that I realized that the "epilogue" took place well after Chapter 1 (though not actually after chapter 16). Similarly, it ended with a prologue. Quite a bit of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. I felt like I finally am starting to get a hold of who all these new characters are, mostly by Thorne writing most of the story from their perspective, with Riker and Troi …

I particularly fell in love with Commander Jaza, and I kept hoping for something more from him, but alas...
I never understood why it was titled Sword of Damocles.
