canon origins of the borg

read  star trek destiny  three novels in one   by david mack  this is the  canon trilogy that  at last gives a credible origin for the borg  finalyy getting away  from Vger or  as part of a failed medical experiment  light years away  three novels  gods of night, mere mortals and  lost souls  make a raygun rip roaring space opera combining  characters starships types, planets and aliens  form all the post TOS star trek franchise from next generation to   enterprise and set  15 years after the best of both worlds sets the stage fro a  galaxy wide  Borg war   probably the best  star trek novels I have read  as they are so familiar even to the Gorn and Tholians   but on the negative side when you have read one paragraph about a Borg cube being destroyed by star fleets  secret weapon you do not expect the same scene again  and again   across three books  and that the Borg origins come late but already guessed  and in one of many subspace temporal wormholes  all the way back to  events in    Earths prehistory

the Atlantis code by charles broclaw is the opposite poorly written  an airport novel full of hot air and   dull Vatican  villains and Russian   gangsters   the Atlantis code is sub dan brown even to  the finding  of anachronistic  Christian gnostic  type secret scriptures as the  big secret  in Atlantean  ruins


ode to the sea  a national trust poetry book  mix of sea fevers , rimes of ancient mariners and odes to mermaids  and   rock pools  interesting but  a companion table book


 A complete guide to the soul  by Patrick harpur the cover blurb asks  Who am I? What's my life's purpose? Where am I going when I die? and the back cover calls this important  book  well the  cover questions are not answered and it  mainly another book on  neoplatonist thought  diamons and psyche  with added freudian dreams and jungian symbols 







 not had many interesting or vivid dreams fro months   mainly dream of college campus  and catching public transport  these must be my inner fears
