After checking out the awesome DPS that Tactical captains can dish out a couple of weeks back, we now shift our focus to the Scottys, LaForges, Obriens, and Torreses of the game - the Engineering captains. I'd like to welcome each of you to the third and final installment of my three-part series focusing on the classes within STO. I am also extremely honored to play a small part in its history by bringing you Captain's Log each week, and I look forward to what the next 45 years hold. Although the game has had its fair shares of ups and downs, I am not afraid to stand behind it and be proud of it for being able to continue Gene Roddenberry's dream. While humankind first set out to "boldly going where no one has gone before" in the late 1960s, its legacy lives on today, four decades later, through Star Trek Online. Hello, computer (and players)!

I’ve been somewhat uninspired by my own reviews lately, so I’m going to try out yet another format. Given a miraculous second chance with Kate, Jack does everything in his power to save her life only to lose her again (and again and again), and return again (and again and again) to the stairs where they met. But then Jack finds himself transported back to the moment when he first met Kate. Jack and Kate only have a short time together, because Kate has a genetic disease that kills her before they can have their happily ever after. While visiting a college campus towards the end of his senior year of high school, Jack meets Kate and they fall in love. the Homo Sapiens Agenda or The Hate U Give. Opposite of Always is cute enough, but it is nowhere in the league of Simon vs. Unfortunately, it doesn’t live up to those two names. Reynolds’ Opposite of Always was enough for me to give it a shot.

Its five pilots, Yrica Quell, Wyl Lark, Chass na Chadic, Nath Tensent, and Kairos, as well as Adan himself and his therapy droid/former Imperial torture droid IT-0 -messes, all of them. General Hera Syndulla leads ground and naval forces in the Cerberon System, including a special Intelligence project headed by Caeran Adan and his Alphabet Squadron to hunt down and defeat the Empire’s notorious Shadow Wing.Īlphabet Squadron is an absolute mess. The New Republic is on the rise across the galaxy, felling Imperial remnants, and liberating planets and systems from holdout loyalists. Shadow Fall picks up shortly after the events of its prequel, Alphabet Squadron. For further in-universe context, The Alphabet Squadron series is also more or less concurrent with the 2015-2017 Aftermath series, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and the upcoming Star Wars: Squadrons. Shadow Fall takes place five years after the Battle of Yavin or about one year after The Return of the Jedi. As the middle chapter in the Alphabet Squadron series penned by an author known for killing off beloved characters, pressure, and expectations for the novel were high. Hearts were beating fast as Alexander Freed’s Shadow Fall (beautiful cover art and design by Jeff Langevin and Scott Biel) hit shelves, the first Star Wars adult novel since the release of The Rise of Skywalker from publisher Del Rey Books.

Ilsa Ramsay yearns for some adventure and fun, not another husband. There is much for Drew to learn and adjust to-but first he goes home to Edinburgh, to tell his mother and three sisters of their startling good fortune.

The sky is cloudless, and an aroma of peroxide and citrus peel lingers in the warm winter air. I needed to talk to that farmer out on U.S. A feeling of dread, but also curiosity, arose. Though the region is part of a landmass that falls gracefully from the hilly Piedmont to the ocean, it is nowhere close to the traditional citrus belt of central Florida.Įach time I glanced at the fruit, Mom’s words, I guess we can grow them here, now, roamed around my brain like a moody raccoon. My hometown of Metter lies in Georgia’s upper coastal plain, 100 miles, as the crow flies, north of Florida. Each tiny segment, robust with sweet, tangy juice, enticed me more. Confused by this, I kept a suspicious eye on the fruit. I thought Mom must be mistaken, but she assured me. I spent the first 18 years of my life in south Georgia and never saw a single orange tree. “A man in Statesboro grows them,” Mom said. Too lively, I thought, to have made the trip from Florida. Lively leaves perked from their stems as if still reaching toward the sun. Tiny heads of fresh citrus formed a delicious mound in a ceramic bowl. A blaze of orange, a tropical tone in winter, glowed from a dark corner of my mother’s kitchen. This journalistic work details the story of the shocking deaths in 1959 of Nora’s sister-in-law Isabel and three of Isabel’s children and the disappearance and presumed death of Isabel’s baby. “Help me.He’s going to take her from me.” Jess is determined to seek out answers to help comfort her grandmother, which leads her to find Nora’s copy of a book called As If They Were Asleep by Daniel Miller. Jess is perplexed by this-what could her elderly grandmother have needed so badly that she couldn’t wait for her home aide to help her?-and when she arrives at the hospital, her confusion is heightened by Nora’s panicked utterances: “The pages,” she says. Nora, who raised Jess for much of her childhood, suffered her fall when climbing to the attic. When journalist Jess Turner-Bridges receives a call that her grandmother Nora is in the hospital following a fall, she leaves her chosen home of London and returns to Darling House in Sydney, Australia. A woman discovers that everything she knows about her family is a lie. On the one hand, it is a story about childhood and the friends we make as children (similar to It.) Luckily, Uncle Stevie realized that there were many more stories to tell about Derry, so he decided to tell them (duh.)Īnd the novel Dreamcatcher is one of those stories.ĭreamcatcher is an interesting mashup, so to speak. The homicidal clown may have been sent to whatever Hell (or other ungodly realm) from whence It came, but that doesn’t mean that Derry is on the straight and narrow now. Well, as my aunt used to say: Leopards don’t change their spots! I mean, he keeps coming back to Derry, right? So that means its only sorta bad, right? I know, a Stephen King! Just humor me and pretend you are at least a little surprised, eh?Īnd obviously, The Master has a fetish for evil towns… Yes, I am talking about a fictional town in a Stephen King book… I guess I just fall for bad…um…towns (not sure if fictional towns have a gender, so roll with me.) I know that Derry attracts its share of…well…the unusual (and that’s putting it mildly.)īut still, I can’t stay away. Yes, the presence of a certain homicidal clown is constantly felt, despite the fact that there were brave folks who tried to put that clown to bed (or is it Hell?) Yes, I know that particular town has its issues, and that I probably cannot fix those issues, even though it is my nature to try and fix things. My name is Leah and I have a confession to make. |
