I was also thinking of “Dagger of the Mind.” When Kirk tries to reassure McCoy that the colony is more like a resort, he replies “A cage is a cage, Jim.” Always thought that was interesting, indicating McCoy is essentially a prison abolitionist, though not indicating that that is the dominant view that has won out in the federation.

I actually like it too! Though it does get stuck in your head! I agree, I like the concept of the opening sequence portraying human advancement and the desire to explore, facilitated by cooperation. (I thought SNW did a good job of capturing that feeling, among the new treks.)

Yes, seconding the recommendation for A Stitch in Time and it’s wonderful to hear “Garak’s” voice again if you do the audiobook. I also really enjoyed the DS9 documentary!

Ahh ok, thanks for the reply! I definitely understand. A lot of my posts are image posts, so I’ve been popping into the browser version whenever I want to make one. I’ll keep doing that workaround for now!

It is the only Trek book I’ve read, and I also read it bc I love Garak and Robinson’s portrayal. I thought it was very good. When I started it I was kind of like…well we will find out if Robinson can write as well as act…and I didn’t really know what to expect. But good news, he can! It’s a great and fitting tribute to/extension of the character.
