A Good Day to Die by Keith R.A. DeCandido
3.0
Okay. It had a few entertaining bits but didn't really delve deep into Klingon culture or offer anything new.
Walter Koenig's Things to Come by Walter Koenig

The blurb on the back of the book says it takes multiple readings to grasp every nuance. I may give it another read and see it if makes more sense. It feels disjointed, as two stories run somewhat in parallel in theme and time, but by the end of the volume haven't yet joined. There has been some apocalypse and the remains of the human race struggle for survival 200 years after the event. It never really comes together. Sorry, Walter. The artwork is good, and the coloring is fantastic.
Yesterday's Children by David Gerrold

What started off mediocre and developed into a decent novel with some characters that were starting to go somewhere... and then the end came much too quickly and abruptly. I must say that I really felt the influence of the 1960s and early 1970s in the science fiction aspects and the overall pacing of the story. Or maybe I've just been watching a lot of Star Trek (TOS) while reading this. It seemed like very much a product of its time, with some of the characterization likely a nod towards active duty military personnel involved in Vietnam. I just wish it hadn't ended so quickly.
