Fatally Flaky

By: Diane Mott Davidson

I loved Davidson's books when she first started out, always looking forward to her feisty chef-protagonist and mouth-watering recipes. But over the years she's become tediously repetitive, re-hashing the plot elements (perhaps ruminating on the clues?) and endlessly reciting her daily espresso consumption. In this volume, she pours herself 2 cups of coffee in one paragraph! And the recipes are all at the end, so there's no more integration of party theme and menu. Maybe she just needs a new editor.

Star Trek: Federation

By:Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens
Science has a way of bringing out both the best and worst of mankind. When Zephram Cochrane created faster then light travel, humanity spread to the stars. Unfortunately, Earth fell to a cataclysmic 3rd World War, one with nuclear repercussions. The heinous Colonel Adrik Thorsen is intent on procuring from Cochrane the non-existant Warp bomb. Thorsen chases Cochrane through the years, over the centuries through strange and unique means. On the journey Cochrane is aided by both Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise as well as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S Enterprise-D over seventy years later. The tale that is spun shows us the best and worst of humanity's nature, and what we can achieve and hope to achieve if we only allow ourselves to do so. This set of values is the heart of humanity's greatest achievement...fellowship..brotherhood....The United Federation of Planets. This was an amazing novel, very well written, and gives a whole new insight to the foundations of the Federation and the history of humanities achievements. Despite many of the details here being overridden by the film Star Trek: First Contact, the book is still a must read for any fan of the franchise, and it's the best I've read to date! 5/5 stars!!
