Personal log - I recently finished this novel - Somewhere To Belong and it's now my favourite Star Trek novel.
I really liked how it went into the emotional journey of jumping ahead in time as Discovery did - filled in so many important gaps in the story of the crew and their sacrifice. A powerful meditation on the meaning of home both as a physical place and as something found with other people.
I've also, this evening, reached S4 of DS9 and am really enjoying it. The finale of S3 was a nice spooky mystery and I'm ready for S4 now. Was a joy to see Worf appear - much to look forward to.
Unfortunately these two things, the book and the series, are linked as there were some mega huge spoilers for DS9 in the book - like the whole plot of the war being set out as a history. It's a shame, but it's also been impossible to avoid spoilers and, beyond the big plot points, what I really love about DS9 is the people that make up the team.
