Hi
After more than 6 months of absence I am back and ready to join STO again.
My character player name on fed side is Lince Ianeasa. The next time I log in STO i will configure the ufp chat and ask for joining the fleet.
Thanks for let me rejoin this great comunity
And about what are my interests, i really love sci fi. Star wars and Star Trek were more than films for me, they were the dreams of my child. Still today, when i listen their soundtrackss I almost feel the excitement of the first time I saw the films, remembering the days of youth.
This year I have free time so I started to reading science fiction books. For now, in the last months I have read:
- Gateway (Frederik Pohl)
- The Mote in Gods Eye (Larry Niven)
- Starship Troopers (Robert A. Heinlein). 1000 times better than the film
- A Fire Upon The Deep (Vernor Vinge).So far the one i have enjoyed more.
- The Ultimate Hitchhikers guide to The Galaxy (Douglas Adams). Only reading the fist chapter, didnt get the sense of 'english humor'
- Childhood´s End (Arthur C. Clarke)
- Rendezvous with Rama (Arthur C. Clarke)
- The Forever War (Joe Haldeman). Only reading to the middle, not sure why i didnt like it.
And now I am reading the first novel of The Book of the New Sun (Gene Wolfe).
I have a long list to read (lots of suggestions on blogs and forums on internet), so I am open to suggestion for the next book... should i stick with the 'classic hits' (Nebula, Hugo awards) or should i look for something different, like exploring the books of Star Wars or Star Trek)?

Hey man, welcome back! We're glad to have you.
That's a pretty nice list of books. Agree with you on the Starship Troopers comment, though I love the movie too. What's your favourite Trek series, out of curiosity?
By the by, this link will take you to the form you'll need to fill in to receive an in-game Fleet invite for a Federation character.

If you are interested in some Star Trek books to read definitely take a look at the Book Database (you can access it by clicking BOOKS on the main navigation bar or by clicking HERE), you could also ask for suggestions in the Star Trek Literature area of the forums (direct link HERE).

Welcome to the UFP! I like both the book and movie. Would have liked to see those exo-suits in the movie though. I have processed your invite into the fleet. A book i would recommend would be "Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown.
