Finished up The Complete Peanuts: 1965-1966 (for the 2nd time) and am now back to reading Star Trek TNG novels. This time, it's The Peacekeepers, which is TNG #2, and seems to be pretty rare, as none of the bookstores around had it so I had to go ahead and buy it online for full price.
The cover of The Peacekeepers features Picard in the center, framed by Worf and Troi. I am about 70% of the way through the book and Picard has done very little, Worf even less, and Troi has had all of three scenes, none of them important. The cover art also features a few alien ships that also have yet to make an appearance in the narrative. Every other TNG novel I have read has not had this weird disparity between cover and content.
Incidentally, 1966 is the year Peppermint Patty was introduced to the Peanuts strip (16 years into its run), and she's fantastic. I had no idea that she first meets the gang because she is looking to meet cute boys (initially, her interest is in Linus, who she hears about from her friend Roy who meets both CB and Linus at summer camp in separate years). So, while she is established from the beginning as a huge tomboy, she's also the first female character to show an unashamed interest in dating (although both Lucy and Sally have established monogamous crushes at this point).
I'm curious how long until Marcie (maybe my favorite character) is also introduced.
