The Garden (Star Trek Voyager, No 11) Review

The Garden (Star Trek Voyager, No 11)
Average Reviews:

The book seems out of order in the series. Instead of number 11 I would have guessed it to be one of the first three by the problems faced by the crew and references made by the author about the journey ahead and the conditions on the ship. It sounds as if the crew is still struggling for survival here, but in previous stories their situation seems to have already stabilized somewhat.
This was one of the most interesting story concepts that I have come across in the Voyager series. The only reason I could not give this book five stars and then some is because of the vast number of disconcerting typos throughout the book. I'm not talking about the simple occasional letter left off a word... at one point one ensign's gender pronoun references change back and forth several times in the same chapter. Proofreaders are worth the money! But if you're not distracted by grammatical incongruities, this is a wonderfully engaging story.

Star Wars: the Crystal Star (v. 6) Review

A pretty forgettable Star Wars novel. Han and Leia have three kids. Solo is getting a bit slack in his older-age generalship.
So, of course, you end up with kids gone and them having to run around to try and get them back via the odd alien planet, that sort of thing.
Luke is still doing the look for jedi thing.
