Within are a bunch of refugees from a Romulan-controlled planet, nice, furry aliens who are dying of a virus that Romulus could cure, but they can’t be arsed allocating the resources. Instead, Beverly’s first kiss is interrupted by an alien vessel crash landing nearby.You remember her grandmother, who in her final years had a steamy affair with an alien posing as a cheesy Scottish ghost? There’s a whole thing (“Sub Rosa”, an episode that was actually written and filmed and aired, and even included in streaming and Blu-Ray releases) where Beverly attends her funeral and inherits her cheesy bad romance novel boyfriend, and the only good thing you can say about that episode is that it’s really impressive how no one looks into the camera like they’re on The Office.
Then we flash further back, to Beverly’s adolescence on a remote colony where she lived with her grandmother.(I borrowed this book from the library, but I shall be QUITE CROSS REGARDLESS.).So if this book doesn’t give me a fully-grown, Romulan-raised Picard-Crusher combo clone, I’m going to ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK.“Better not get the two human’s DNA mixed,” he thinks. When he finally gets Picard’s DNA, it’s through shenanigans involving Beverly’s champagne glass.Along the way, he observes that Picard is miserably in love with Beverly (and is frankly not handling it with the aplomb one would expect, but hey, it’s a flashback, he’s younger and has hair, these things happen).He’s there to collect DNA from top Starfleet captains for the cloning program we’ll discover in Nemesis. We open at Beverly’s wedding to Jack Crusher, which is being observed by a ROMULAN SPY.Since this is a tie-in novel rather than fic, there’s going to be some plot to get through before the kissing happens. Tricky negotiations required, Picard would be proud.)īeyond the cut: a bullet point recounting of the plot, with stream of consciousness digressions and also some gifs. This, my friends, is the tie-in novel where Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher finally hook up.Īnd since one of my great regrets in life is that I didn’t liveblog the Voyager novel where Janeway is brought back to life (after being fridged in a TNG novel because Picard didn’t have enough Borg-related angst) and then makes out with Chakotay on the battle bridge, I persuaded Stephanie to let me liveblog it.
Not the usual sort of thing we blog about, not the usual sort of thing I read.
