#215: The Death of Princes (TNG #44)

In today’s episode, two storylines get equal custody of the book. In one, Picard and Crusher investigate a nasty bird flu, but the way their hosts treat them won’t fly if they don’t want to wind up with an empty nest. In the other, Riker and Troi run damage control on a rogue observer whose shabby treatment of the Prime Directive demonstrates exactly why they have it in the first place. Can you get addicted to phaser stuns? Will Barclay ever find a completely healthy way to unwind? And how do you know if you’re a main character or an NPC? All this and more in The Death of Princes, the book with hands across the water, hands across the sky.

#192: Objective: Bajor (DS9 #15)

This week, a species called the Hive sucks a Bajoran colony world dry, but it’s hardly a happy ending. But when the Hive does the splits, Sisko has to throw together a basic etiquette lesson plan as both Bajor and Cardassia Prime get ready to fight back. Is the Great Design all it’s cracked up to be? Will young Tork turn into a Young Turk? And is this yet another job for the Emissary? All this and more in Objective: Bajor, the book that’s awfully stingy with the uniforms.

#146: Prisoners of Peace (DS9 YA #3)

This week, Keiko’s class gets a new student, but the only class he’s interested in is Advanced Cardassian Murdering. But when they find a stowaway in the vents, they suddenly realize why there’s always cheesecake in the beef stew. Can the YA books handle full Garak? Is it harder to survive war or peace? And when did everyone turn British all of a sudden? All this and more in Prisoners of Peace, the book that may very well lay claim to the franchise’s first adorable Vulcan.

#122: Here There Be Dragons (TNG #28)

This week, a space yacht hanging out inside a stellar cluster is only the first impossible sight of many to come for the Enterprise crew. But when they venture inside to visit Planet Germany, Picard and Ro make the mistake of sampling the wares. Now they have to escape or spend the rest of their lives posing as peasants. Will the Enterprise make it out in one piece? Will the Prime Directive make it out in one piece? Will Worf’s dignity make it out in one piece? All this and more in Here There Be Dragons, the book that swears it’s not touching.
