他们的经历，代表了那些试图捍卫法制和民主之人的遭遇，表明了当日常生活变成求生之战，当历史性的时刻要求个人做出存在意义上的决断时，把握现实有多么艰难。

最初使希特勒得以掌权的政治局势，已经被形形色色的历史学家从不同角度描述过。有几个因素在所有分析中都举足轻重：分裂国家的极端党派影响力与日俱增；过热的政治宣传加深了国内矛盾，断送了和解的可能；政治中心的忧郁和软弱；左翼和右翼对立带来的内战恐怖；对犹太人不断蔓延的仇恨；世界经济危机的打击；民族主义政权在许多国家的崛起。 所幸，今非昔比。可仍有许多状况似曾相识：社会日益分裂；网络上持续不断的愤怒激化着社会矛盾；对于如何遏制极端主义的欲望，资产阶级的中间党派束手无策；恐怖主义事件数量渐增——来自极右翼，有时也来自极左翼；反犹情绪不断高涨；金融危机和疫情引发的全球经济风险；民族主义政权在许多国家的崛起。也许，回顾犯了致命政治错误后民主的遭遇，现在正当其时。

Content warning Possible spoilers for David Mack's "Star Trek: Picard: Firewall". I don't say anything too specific, and nothing that I would call plot relevant, but some people might still count that as spoilers. Hence this CW.
I love visualising Seven in a mosh pit. LOVE IT! I love how several Trek shows are woven into this book. I love seeing some familiar characters of those shows. I love the scenes between Janeway and Seven. They truly are like mother and daughter. I love seeing Seven finding a purpose, a reason to carry on. I love seeing Seven learn and grow as a human. I love getting to know the Rangers, both as a whole and the individuals we meet. At the beginning of season 3 of Picard we shortly meet the Rangers and I didn't like how they were portrayed there, but after this book it makes sense now. Thank you, Mr. Mack for that.
The ending... what can I say without spoiling anything? Let's just say if you have seen the show you know what's going to come. [insert appropriate emoji]
January LaVoy is the queen of audio book narration and making characters sound like their actors. Thank you, Ms. LaVoy!

Content warning Andrew J. Robinson "A Stitch in Time" -- possible spoilers!
After another long break I powered through the last 4 1/2 hours today.
What a fantastic book! Robinson is as good at writing Garak as he is at playing him, both on screen and for this narration. He tells a life's story so full of heart break it was at time almost unbearable for me to listen. I took quite a few breaks and some of them of several weeks or even months. And yet, or exactly because of it, I say this is an absolute must read for any Garak fan. You may want to keep some tissues nearby. I love when Star Trek novels stray from the classic form of here's a problem and our heroes are going to solve it, including a space battle or two -- happy ending. This book is such a different novel: It is a memoir, and therefore a collection of incidents in Garak's life that lead him to Terok Nor, have him stay on Deep Space 9, and finally allow him to return to Cardassia. It's the tale of how he so desperately tries to earn his father's love and his peers' and superiors' respect, but only gets their despisement, and of how he endures it all. His observations about humanity and the Federation are spot on of course. How does the Federation survive? LOL

Sequel to Shadow Captain.
Alistair Reynolds delivers a sweeping continuation of the Ness sisters' story in Bone Silence. Old foes reappear, new allies are made and lots of stunning revelations.
In the acknowledgements Alistair writes that he is setting the Ness sisters aside "for a while". I look forward to reading more about them and/or the Congregation. #Bookstodon
