Prerequisties to reading?
Question: is it important to read Kobayashi Maru and Titan: Sword of Damocles before starting this Trilogy? Will I be missing out on much?
For example, I read Resistance, Before Dishonor, and Greater Than the Sum without having read Q & A and I doubt that I missed much, as most references were fully explained. I'm mainly interested in the Borg storyline. Anyone have an opinion? I'd hate to be spoiled out of some good reads by skipping to Destiny, after all. Tour86rocker 08:56, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
- This really isn't the appropriate forum to ask about this (you'd've done better to ask in the Community portal's Ten Forward). However, no, you do not have to read Kobayashi Maru or Sword of Damocles first. Every Trek novel is designed to be readable by itself. I for one did not read nor have any desire to read Sword of Damocles and missed nothing. -- Sci 09:04 3 JAN 2009 UTC
Kira and Jadzia
They are not just referenced!– 84.134.107.37 18:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Format
The correct format uses dots, not vertical lines. Whoever keeps changing dots to lines, please stop. – AT2Howell 05:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
T'Prel
I'm wondering if the T'Prel listed in the book is different from the T'Prel that is linked to this article. Anyone want to make a judgement call? – Commander Phoenix 01:07, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
References
When I went through the book, I couldn't find references to the following:
- Characters: Joanna Faur
- Locations: Bajor, Deneva, Hell, Japan
- Races: Acamarian, Berellian, Caitian, Deltan, Kriosian, Nausicaan, Romulan
- States: Klingon High Command, United States of America
- Some of the "others"
Now, granted, I went through kind of fast the second time just trying to pick out as much as I could, but it wasn't probably a close read. If anyone can confirm/deny those, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, after I get done doing what I can, I'll go through a third time and look for them. --Captain Savar 23:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
[Edit]: Just saw the reference to London on page 139. I'm guessing Japan is referenced because of Kadohata... --Captain Savar 23:34, 30 January 2009 (UTC) [Edit]: Found Rolor Nebula as a sirillium concentrated location on 259. --Captain Savar 19:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- The character Joanna Faur - I couldn't find a reference anywhere in Gods of Night either.-- I did 2 reads, not extensive, but certainly more than cursory, to no avail. – Commander Phoenix 21:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
