I read Control today because the foreword to Enigma Tales said Control happened first so I read it first but now I really wish I had time to read Enigma Tales too???
it is unfair that i have to work tomorrow
Earlier this year I read The Crimson Shadow and The Lotus Flower (novella in “Worlds of DS9″ series), both by Una McCormack and set in post-Canon Cardassia. But then I got sidetracked and forgot to start reading The Never-Ending Sacrifice. Oops! And now with this prompted from @tinsnip, just ordered both Control and Enigmas Tales. July will be filled with tales of Cardassia. Sounds good!

It’s the thing that bothers me with Star Trek novels. You go like “Awyeah, I wanna read that book!” and then you realize “Shit, I have to read those fifty-eleven other books before?? That are by twenty-twelve different authors??” It’s really quite mind-fucking, if I should be honest, not to mention the whole “but I don’t actually care about the shit going on in that book, I just want to read the one about the shit I care about :u”
It all feels a bit like a Ferengi trick relying on some Cardassian “trap in a trap” strategy, backed by the Prophets of Bajor. My interest is non-linear, the missing book is non-corporeal, the order of the novels is a difficult one and my wallet isn’t bottomless.
