I just don’t think S.D. Perry had any intention of keeping Ro Laren as her canon character. #TrekBooks #StarTrek

That being said, his character profile seemed to influence her reappearance in #StarTrekPicard. I would suspect #KirstenBeyer had something to do with that.

Mind you, just for clarification. I didn't have any problems with the play out of how Conlon was handling the baby. That was all well explained. My problem was that she was repairing and saving the whole ship immediately after coming out of a coma! I mean, what? But then #KirstenBeyer explained what was going on with the "language issues" and Conlon finally made it to the Doctor who clarified her medical condition. As expected, it was not yet resolved. #StarTrek

Just a follow up. #KirstenBeyer came through and justified Lt. Conlon's activities at the beginning of the novel. It all makes sense now. All is well.

The very radical turnaround of the attitude and circumstances of chief engineer Lt. Nancy Conlon from most of Architects of Infinity to what takes places in the first part of To Lose the Earth is almost too much for me to suspend disbelief. Either it doesn't make sense, doesn't pass the test of good fiction, or I haven't got far enough along into To Lose the Earth yet. I love this series, but Conlon's circumstances in To Lose the Earth is problematic.

I'm reading #KirstenBeyer's #StarTrekVoyager novel, The Eternal Tide. It picks up from some previous #StarTrek books I read in the last couple of months, Full Circle and Unworthy, but at the beginning of the novel it states these events follow The Children of the Storm, which I have not read (but promptly ordered). The Eternal Tide seems to immediately follow Unworthy. I am curious how Children of the Storm could have been such a singular, contained unit where the arc did not advance at all.
