Saw some posts and comments from a while back about the Trek books and decided to give them a try. Starting out with “Q-Squared” because it was on sale for $1.99 and I figured a Q-centric story would be a fun entry point. I am now kind of regretting that frugal decision.
It follows multiple parallel realities (called “tracks” in the book) with Q and Trelane central to the plots, so my usual casual reading style of a chapter each evening is not working out well because I just cannot keep up.
The only saving grace is that I’ve at least read “A Stitch in Time” so I know not all Trek books are this confusing. Probably going to have to just power through this one and not let it ruin the medium. It’s not that it’s a bad story, just hard to follow.
That was a hard book. I always enjoyed Federation. Then there was The Captains Table series that went across all series at the time. I always found you could never go wrong with anything by Michael Jan Friedman or Judith & Garfield Reves-Stevens. Good luck and good reading!
Definitely so. I am enjoying it once I re-read the previous chapter and get my bearings. It’s just hard to get a momentum going because of all the backtracking I’ve had to do.
I’m off work this week, so maybe I’ll just sit down and read it in larger chunks and see how that goes.
