Star Trek Destiny: Gods of Night – first review
I’m pleased to report that SciFiChick.com has posted its review of Gods of Night, the first volume in my swiftly approaching Star Trek Destiny trilogy. It’s also the first public review of the book.
The money quote:
Gods of Night contains everything great about Star Trek — advanced technology, intrigue, drama, relationships, danger, action, mystery, aliens, time travel, and blowing stuff up. Ending in a mild cliffhanger, readers will want to pick up the next, Mere Mortals, as soon as possible. With an exciting story, wonderful characters, and insurmountable odds to overcome, this is a trilogy no Trek fan will want to miss.
Destiny promotion update
The good folks over at TrekWeb have posted another excerpt from Gods of Night, the first book in my new Star Trek Destiny trilogy. The excerpt comprises all of Chapter 3, and focuses on the crew of Titan.
another Destiny interview
As promised, here is a link to the Unreality-SF.net interview of me regarding my upcoming Destiny trilogy. I urge everyone to check this out, because Jens Deffner and editor Daniel Berry did a great job on this one.
Don LaFontaine, RIP
In a world where one voice defined movie trailers for a generation, that voice is now silent.
*Raises a glass.*
First Destiny Interview
For those who might be interested, TrekMovie.com has posted an interview with me about my upcoming Star Trek Destiny trilogy.
They’ve already posted an exclusive excerpt from the first book (Chapter 2), and they’ll be posting an early review in the next week or two. The first chapter of Gods of Night is also available on their site (reposted there from the SimonSays site).
More interviews about the Destiny trilogy are forthcoming, on http://unreality-sf.net/ and VoxBomb, the blog of Julio Angel Ortiz. Check back for those links soon.
How to spend a day not writing
I have managed to squander a whole day that should have been spent writing.
First, after sending my wife off to work at 6:45am, I went back to bed, because I had been up writing until 2am the night before and had been unable to fall asleep until around 3am.
Second, I went into Manhattan and had lunch with some of my friends.
Third, I went from lunch to Brooklyn, where I met with my editor Marco and went on a bus ride up Flatbush Avenue and then on a walking tour of Park Slope, as research for the novel that I am currently (supposed to be) writing.
Fourth, on the way home, I traveled one extra stop on the train so that I could go to our favorite Italian specialty store and buy some good prosciutto di parma.
Fifth, I came home and retreated into my office to surf the ‘net and “decompress.” Which is how I stumbled across today’s “American Voices” feature on The Onion and noticed that its fictional names are shufflings of the given names and surnames of famous science-fiction and fantasy authors.
Soon, my wife will be home. Then it will be time to make dinner. Eat. Watch TV until she passes out on the couch. Wash the dishes. Make her lunch and coffee for tomorrow. Put her to bed. Then collapse in it beside her, lamenting another day expended without new words in the book.
Dammit.
