Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of TV shows

{5/5} “There are three things to remember about being a starship captain: keep your shirt tucked in, go down with the ship… and never abandon a member of your crew.” Star Trek: Voyager season 5, aired in 1998-99 When Seven and the Doctor beam back from a nebula, Borg nanoprobes create a new drone who […]

Star Trek: The Antares Maelstrom

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4.5/5} “Grandle jumped off the counter into the fracas, landing between two furious shoppers who were doing their best to batter each other senseless. She shoved them apart, trying to keep them at arm’s length from each other. Her fierce expression would have done an ancient Greek Fury proud. ‘Get a hold of yourselves! What […]

VOY Dark Matters: Shadow of Heaven

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4.5/5} “It had been strange to be without a weapon on this planet and downright unsettling to be without a combadge. A dozen times a day he’d find himself tapping his chest, trying futilely to communicate with someone. It had gotten so that the children teased him, lifting their right hands and touching their left […]

VOY Dark Matters: Ghost Dance

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4/5} “The survivors were of two minds. Some thought they had displeased their gods, the Crafters, in some way and that to atone they needed to devote themselves totally toward an agrarian life. Others were angry, and wanted to be able to defend themselves should this ever happen again. The two drifted apart.” Star Trek: […]

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4.5/5} “They could probably take on the Federation with their present number of dark matter-cloaked vessels. But the Triumvirate, true to their Romulan heritage, wanted to wait until their was no risk at all. They didn’t want to fight the Federation. They wanted to sweep in with a victory so overwhelming that the round-ears wouldn’t […]

Star Trek: Voyager — Seven of Nine

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4.5/5} “Seven now realized what a violation she had been a part of. The destruction of the individual. She had heard and, to borrow a human phrase, rolled her eyes at Captain Janeway’s ranting about humans and other sentient beings would rather be dead than assimilated. Now, she realized that the captain was right.” Star […]

Star Trek: Voyager — Marooned

Posted by Dave Switzer under Reviews of books

{4.5/5} “The crewmen now assembled had long since learned to live under Starfleet rules and tender their own talents to all their benefit. Chakotay wanted to tell them, these rough-and-tumble upstarts from once upon a time, how very proud he was of them.” Star Trek: Voyager — Marooned by Christie Golden, published in 1997 Voyager […]
