Nemesis and Insurrection are the only two movies I saw in the theater and never watched again.

Nemesis was dumb, but I liked Tom Hardy in it. They retconned a bunch of shit about the Romulans that pissed me off.

I didn't bother seeing Nemesis in the theater. I did go to see Insurrection. I actually despise that more than Nemesis.

Yeah, the Romulan stuff was really stupid.

They should just do a movie or, better yet, a show based on the Diane Duane Romulan novels. Those are epic.

I read The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane many, many years ago. It was so horrible I never read anything by her again. A friend of mine said the Rihannsu stuff was good but I couldn't bring myself to read it. Maybe I should try one more time.

Wounded Sky was her first Trek novel and not her best. Try My Enemy, My Ally. If you don't like that, you won't like the rest.

I've read a ton of Trek novels and she is, by far, my favorite Trek author.

Wait. I think I did read My Enemy, My Ally. Wasn't that the one where the Romulan commander from Balance of Terror was supposedly in love with Kirk all along?  ::)

Not really. It had the niece of the commander from Balance of Terror and she basically defects to help Kirk and crew stop the Romulans from completing some nasty genetic experiments. She actually hates Kirk for the disgrace he brought to her family name.

Hmm, I think I need to read it again.

It's one of my favorites, not just for Trek but scifi in general.

Couldn't agree more!

Again, agreed.  I'm not sure what exactly it is or how she does it, but Diane Duane does a better job than anyone of capturing that Star Trek "feel" and putting it to paper.

FTFY

By the way:  Did you, in fact, get around to reading the rest of the Rihannsu books then?  I vaguely remember us discussing them before.

Yeah, I like him too. 

Another favorite author for me is Keith R. A. deCandido.  His Trek stories in general are pretty good, but especially his Klingon Empire novels.  I also enjoyed Articles of the Federation.
