Blind Man's Bluff

Star Trek: New Frontier is the best Trek series not to make it to film. Taking a mix of original and established characters, Peter David shaped a unique corner of the Star Trek universe that is far more entertaining than almost every other Trek spin-off ever written. I just cannot state how much this series has entertained my imagination over the years. I have three other books by favorite authors that I put aside to jump right into the goodness that is ST:NF.

Now in the latest book, BLIND MAN'S BLUFF, Peter David moves the story forward and gives the reader a wild ride. I love everything about this book from the characters to the inside jokes to the quirky time-stamping of the chapters. As usual, I can't wait for the next book to come out, but as I read Peter David's blog, the next book is not a sure thing. Apparently publisher Pocket Books is reassessing its outlay and may not commission a follow-up. This is too bad because they obviously do not know the good thing that they have and because David gives us just enough to want more story. I cannot blame the publisher because times are hard in the book biz, but it would be a shame if this series were to die when it is the best thing that they put out.
