Yes, but I have no idea how Doctor Crusher and an EMH are related to (an admittedly young looking) Charles Dickens fleeing from the Gelth.

Right, and now I'm trying to figure out where First Contact falls in the order of things. Was that, like 4th Season of DS9 (after the falling out with the Klingons, but before the Dominion War?)

keen art. I'm wonders about Thomas, myself...

Generations took place during DS9's third season, and First Contact took place in the fifth.

Slings and Arrows covers the period just prior to "Homefront/Paradise Lost" in the fourth season (Book 2 of S&A is simultaneous with that two-parter) to just prior to "Rapture" in the fifth.

Spiffy indeed! I can't wait to read them. The art is lovely--is this rough draft or a new take on finished product in the Trek realm?

Er, no, that's the same style we've had on the eBook covers since 2001. They're by Mike Collins.

I don't usually get e-books, that's why I'm so ignorant. ;D But, this book series may change my mind about purchasing e-books.

Is the lady on cover #3 screaming because she saw the BBC's spoiler filled plot description of Last of the Time Lords?

I'm speculating:

The Insolence of Office (#3) presumably includes at least a subplot of Lwaxana Troi's child, following the episode in which she married Odo?

A Weary Life looks (and I may be wrong!) like Tom Riker has a role: does this follow on from the DS9 episode Defiant, or Triangle: Imzadi II (Peter David's novel in which Tom also featured)?
