Avenger by William Shatner (1997) – BR00099 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the third in a Star Trek trilogy, with nanites, sentient Borg, and Vulcan terrorists.

What I Liked

The portrayal of the TNG crew is a little better in this book, perhaps reflecting the better portrayals seen in the TNG movies. It links Kirk, Spock, Picard, and the entire history of the various Enterprises together with Sarek.

What I Didn’t Like

n/a

The Bottom Line

All about renewal and cycles.

The Return by William Shatner (1997) – BR00098 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the second in a Star Trek trilogy, with renegade Romulans working with the Borg.

What I Liked

There are some decent scenes with Data, and some interesting interactions between old TOS crew and new TNG crew.

What I Didn’t Like

Most of the TOS crew are not really much like themselves, except Spock, so not very “believable”. Bones is almost a caricature. Kirk and Worf have a fight that is ridiculous.

The Bottom Line

Worst of the three.

The Ashes of Eden by William Shatner (1996) – BR00097 (1999) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

The PolyBlog
October 10 1999

Plot or Premise

This is the first in a Star Trek trilogy, with Spock reminiscing about Kirk’s last mission, one that took place after retirement and involved an alluring woman.

What I Liked

The present time takes place just after Kirk’s death in the movie Generations, and is a great story of the old crew. One of the best I have ever read. There’s even a fight between Kirk and the Enterprise against his old crewmates.

What I Didn’t Like

n/a

The Bottom Line

Almost perfect.

    Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango ChutneyJune 16, 2026
    Sweet Chicken Curry: This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn't a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.
