Finished: _The Q Continuum_, Greg Cox. A trilogy of Star Trek novels about Q, actually one book in three volumes. Q is several hundred million years old, responsible for the Dinosaur-Killer asteroid, and still acts like a drunk teenager. Notable only for the predictability of every single character's reaction to each other.

Finished: _Atmospherics_, Warren Ellis. Ten minutes of serial killer drug abusers and little grey alien cattle mutilators, guest starring unnamed FEMA, FBI and police agents. Ugh, in the way that lots of Transmetropolitan was ugh.
Entertaining to Ellis fans. Not worth anyone else's time.

Finished: _Imperium_, Keith Laumer. Another trilogy in a fat book. The first of these cross-time adventures is the best, as Laumer's proto-Retief protagonist is kidnapped, whisked across timelines, and asked to do the Prisoner of Zenda routine. Complications ensue, then the hero gets the girl and the glory. The second volume involves multiple parallel simian sophonts. Yes, monkey business. The third is simply bad -- Laumer had off days.
