Seeing the political fallout of Janeway’s journey (some would call it a rampage) through the Delta Quadrant is a treat, and a logical outcome of the Full Circle fleet’s return to former Borg space. As I read through the Pocket Books post- Nemesis timeline, however, the more and more struck I am with how much they show consequences, both on a personal and an interplanetary level.

I’ve written before about how Star Trek‘s episodic nature could be a weakness when it came to following up on the consequences of the main character’s actions. Ītonement is a book that’s all about consequences.

It deals with leading personages and transactions of a momentous epoch, when absolutism and feudalism were rallying for their last struggle against the modern spirit, chiefly represented by Voltaire, the Encyclopedists, and Rousseau himself-a struggle to which, after many fierce intestine quarrels and sanguinary wars throughout Europe and America, has succeeded the prevalence of those more tolerant and rational principles by which the statesmen of our own day are actuated. ![]() Among the notable books of later times-we may say, without exaggeration, of all time-must be reckoned The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau. ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to selling McClellan this past week, we were also deeply involved with Benchgate, the firestorm caused by our plaintive email last week about the District inspector telling us that the 12-year-old bench was illegal and had to go.
