Fortune’s Light (TNG)

F

Fortune’s Light is the 15th numbered TNG novel, written by the now well established Star Trek author Michael Friedman. Riker gets a message regarding an old friend who it seems has stolen a politically-significant artefact from the planet Imprima.

E

Another Howard Weinstein novel, and number fourteen The Next Generation novel.

The Stars at Noon (BR)

The Stars at Noon is the third novel by American author Denis Johnson, published in 1986. We follow a nameless woman in Nicaragua. She’s from the United States. It is possible that she was once a journalist; it’s possible that she still is. That’s all irrelevant except insofar as it informs the present: she earns money prostituting, she’s resigned to the state-of-affairs...
