A series of brutal, motiveless murders aboard station Deep Space Nine leads to Odo’s investigation of a new batch of holosuite technology that appears to have the ability to reshape the user’s perception of reality.<\/p>\n
I won’t really defend Warped<\/i>, because oftentimes when I do<\/a> I feel like I spend my time trying to explain what the reader was supposed to find in the book. It’s a phildickian mindfuck. Familiarity with The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch<\/i><\/a> and VALIS<\/i> and even Martian Time-Slip<\/i> helps with the understanding of the mindset Jeter tried to evoke. I think I got the book, but I understand why many didn’t. It’s an interesting book, but for a good number of people the story it tells just isn’t good Star Trek<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n ‘Course, I watched the Hellboy<\/i> director’s cut yesterday afternoon, and what I wouldn’t give for Kirk or Picard to confront Lovecraft’s Elder Gods. That wouldn’t be good Star Trek<\/i>, either, for a lot of fans, but then, I’m weird like that. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A series of brutal, motiveless murders aboard station Deep Space Nine leads to Odo’s investigation of a new batch of holosuite technology that appears to have the ability to reshape the user’s perception of reality.
