Seaquest Dsv: The Novel by Diane Duane

A decent novelization of the pilot episode of seaQuest DSV. There's a few important scenes missing, notably when Bridger arrives at the seaQuest and meets the crew the first time. It almost felt like a few pages were missing, but that's just the way it was written. A bit disappointing for that, but otherwise it was pretty faithful. Good book, good TV show.

The Golden Horde (Tales of Old Russia #3) by Peter Morwood

Historical Fantasy.

The protagonists (who in this setting previously were the heroes of the Firebird and Koschei tales) are now married with kids and rulers, as the Mongol horde comes to Russia.

Rules of Engagement [Star Trek 48] by Peter Morwood

Although its depictions of Klingons are now pretty thoroughly Jossed, this was an enjoyable read that involved a Klingon captain trying to taunt or trick Kirk into breaking the Organian Peace Treaty. That description makes it sound somewhat static, but I was surprised at how engrossing it was.
