Trek Novels, Mogadishu, Canada Day, the CBC and Me

Lots of accidental connections here, triggered in part by bill_leisner's new novel for the Star Trek office at Pocket Books, TNG: Losing the Peace.

So, the novel in question shows up at Perfect Books on Elgin in Centretown this week, and today I picked it up. Speed-reading racer that I am, it's demolished in a day - in the good way, Bill! - and some of the things I note below are accidental connections. Not sure if they constitute meaningful coincidences, and at some points, it's going to look like random babbling.

( Anyway... )

Confederation Day Plus 142!

In the spirit of the national birthday...



Hoping you all have a good one, people!
