WHAT have you finished reading? Firefly: Life Signs. Just about, anyway.
WHAT are you reading now? American Carnage: on the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War, a history of the populist takeover of the Republican Party from the late 2000s forward. Not sure if I’ll commit to it yet, as it’s 600 pages. Based on the results tonight so far, it’s going to remain relevant.
WHAT are you reading next? Something SF.
Today’s SciFi Month prompt is a wild space, so I’m going to highlight some of my favorite SF ships.
The NX Defiant. Starfleet’s first warship, designed to beat the Borg. She was one of the stars of ST DS9. Spartan and militant! I love the Defiant, so much that I sometimes use this shot as my avatar on SFF forums.
The original Constitution-class Enterprise. No bloody A, B, D, or C. Or NX, for that matter.
The Firefly-class ship.
The Akira class, another Dominion War-era “warship”. I wrote fanfiction based on an Akira ship named Invictus, though I’ve lost it all over the years.
Ahhh, the Sovereign class. I will admit that in both this case and the Akira I’m biased by playing the game ST Armada in my youth. The Akiras were early-game necessities, the Sovs late-game battleships.
The MF Falcon. It did the Kessell run in twelve parsecs.
I like the flying spoon.
Romulan battleship, D’Deridex classAlthough I’d prefer to have a Vor’cha or a Negh’Var on my side, the B’rel class Klingon cruiser is the quintessential Klingon battleship. Mac’CHA!
Much as I love the old Constitution class Enterprise…. My all time fave ST ship is the Klingon Battle cruiser D7. I had a model of one hanging from my bedroom ceiling through most of my youth. Absolutely LOVE that design.

The D-7s did have their merits! Kinda inspired the Negh’Var but I couldn’t find a good photo for them or the Vor’Chas.
The scene from ST: Motion Picture with 3 D-7’s ‘attacking’ the anomaly complete with Klingon background music still sends a shiver through me…. [grin]
The Klingon Imperial theme by Goldsmith was one of ST’s finest bits of instrumentation.
The Flying Spoon is my favorite of your cool collection!
