#248: Marooned (VOY #14)

In today’s episode, the Mall of the Delta Quadrant turns out to be a not-so-elaborate front to catch a Kes. But when the 4000-year-old head honcho strands his dinner guests on his planet, their ingeunity and networking skills may prove too much for him to bear. Is true love in the cards? Are Bolians secretly Reapers? And which Star Trek character would win the misery porn Olympics? All this and more in Marooned, the book that doesn’t take off until it crashes.

#247: The Haunted Starship (TNG YA #13)

In today’s episode, when Geordi tags along to the asteroid belt with some upperclassmates, there’s a refreshing lack of locker-stuffing and wedgie-giving. But when he has a tough time understanding a spectral visitor’s point, it might mean getting sifted out by the Academy’s plebe filter. Is the specter a prank? Who would you name an asteroid after? And can Geordi’s VISOR get smudged? All this and more in The Haunted Starship, the book that overestimates the thrill of the word “outstanding”.
