With this book, I have now read everything by Thomas Harris. A whopping six novels – 4 of which feature Hannibal Lecter. This was not a Lecter novel. It was, in fact, Harris’s first novel and a response to the Munich Olympic massacre in 1972.
I’m not exactly sure this qualifies as a meet-cute, but it is a beautiful story. Also a little weird that my first romance read is set in the Holocaust…
Imagine having an estranged uncle die and leave everything to you. Imagine that you learn that “everything” is his supervillain empire…

A new Star Trek novel by Una McCormack? Sweet! And the main character of the novel is [checks notes] Una?! I’m in! Now the question is, where does Garak fit into this story?
Do you miss the days when the Batman movies were kinda campy but not overly campy. When they were dark but not overly dark? Do you wish you could dive back into the Michael Keaton days as Batman – between Batman and Batman Returns? Do you wish there was more connective tissue between those two movies? Are you getting as tired as I am with all these questions? Well, I’ve just got one thing to say to you:
Stop what you’re doing and read this book!
After finishing Pet Sematary recently, I really wanted a chance to re-read The Shining. It’s spooky season after all! I have to say, having a few other Stephen King books under my belt really added to my enjoyment of this one.
Is it called “No Man’s Land” because the two main characters are women? I mean, I guess there are parts that take place in Romulan territory. But still… I think the title should have been “When Seven Met Raffi” or “The Taming of the Seven” or something like that.
In the world of Star Trek books, this is not one you hear talked about a lot. But I’m here to tell you that that is a mistake. People should be reading this book and talking about it.
This story was not what I thought it was going to be. I haven’t seen any of the adaptations of it so I just assumed you bury your pet and it comes back to life. It is and it isn’t. And more toward isn’t. Also, I feel dumb that I never noticed until it was pointed out in the book that it’s actually “cemetery” and not “sematary.”
