Finished The Case of the Colonist’s Corpse (2004) by Bob Ingersoll and Tony Isabella and I have mixed feelings about it. The novel is about a murder case where Sam Cogley is brought in to defend a Klingon.

I’ll start with what I liked. Cogley is a character I really enjoy from the episode Court Martial. He loves books in an age of computers and is a brilliant lawyer and that’s on full display here. 1/6

Cover of the TOS novel The Case of the Colonist’s Corpse (2004) by Bob Ingersoll and Tony Isabella. The cover has a TOS type 2 phaser in the upper left that’s mostly inside an orange circle. There’s also in the middle right a pattern of squares with purple sides and diamond shapes at each border that’s in the shape of a Starfleet delta. On that Starfleet delta shape is the white outline of a corpse on its back. Text reads: The Case of the Colonist’s Corpse A SAM COGLEY MYSTERY BOB INGERSOLL AND TONY ISABELLA

Finished Gemini (2003) by Mike W. Barr and I enjoyed it but had a few issues. The book focuses on a planet with conjoined twins as rulers that’s divided by the decision of whether or not to join the Federation.

I really liked the focus on the conjoined twins. That’s something rarely (if ever?) seen elsewhere in Trek and it made for an interesting exploration of what that experience might be like and how each twin is similar and different. 1/5

Worst Case Scenario is probably in my top 10 of all Trek (not just Voyager). Seska has always been one of my favorite villians!
