This week, the Furies are back, and they’ve traded scaring the hell out of people for scaring it into them. But the Enterprise crew has to find a way in through the out door if they ever want to see snowy Idaho again. Can the Furies really be negotiated with? Are they truly as afraid of the Alpha Quadrant as the A.Q. is of them? And why aren’t they more baffled by Data? All this and more in The Soldiers of Fear, the book that reminds us why we don’t get attached to redshirts.
This week, an invading force arrives with One Weird Trick for losing weight, but the Klingons are more concerned with the boogeyman that just jumped out of the closet. But if the Enterprise wants any data on the new arrivals, they may have to dig into their own lore first. What newspaper comics are still known in the 23rd century? How many middle initials does Kirk have floating around out there? And is Carey the right Diane for this job? All this and more in First Strike, the first book of the Invasion! saga, or as I like to call it, The Rath Cycle.
This week, ignoring the tachyon field emanating from a starship graveyard proves much easier said than done. But when a malevolent concierge assures Voyager that there’s no way to check out, it might be up to the weirdest loner on the ship to save them all. Is three-dimensional chess still in vogue in the 24th century? Is the computer monitoring the crew’s calls for quality assurance? And why is Star Trek so bad at handling characters who behave even slightly un-Starfleetly? All this and more in Cybersong, the book that takes the cookies to sickbay.
