    Summary

    De night it vos my turn to taste de Jägerdraught, she left camp. Din leave nottin, din take nottin. It vos ten years later, ven ve vos out pillaging, dot Hy found out she had taken someting avay vit her after all.

     

    Ten long years ago a story was left without an ending. Radka believed if she simply stopped telling the tale it would never need to be finished. Before she could tell Ognian about her pregnancy and before he could risk his life taking the Jägerdraught, she fled, leaving the pages of their story open and free of that final note of tragedy.

    But the reality is, lives are not chapters in a book, and the story doesn't go away just because you stopped reading. Ognian gets the surprise of his life and Radka has a lot of explaining to do.

    Summary

    January 2256. Captain Gabriel Lorca has a crew of oddballs, a ship held together by duct tape, and a routine. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

    Summary

    "Kate was well-known as one of the best xenolinguists in the sector. She had studied dozens of alien languages in her long career, and was renowned for helping to decode one of the ancient languages of Andoria.

    Now her task for the next six months was simply to work out how to communicate with a single Tamarian cadet - the first ever to join Starfleet - and get him ready to go to the Academy.

    It wasn’t going to be easy."

    Being truly welcomed when your teacher is willing to learn from you is making me tear up a little every time I re-read this.
