#244: To Storm Heaven (TNG #46)

In today’s episode, the Enterprise crew decides breaking the Prime Directive is way more fun than finding a stupid plant that will save millions of lives. But in the midst of their “benevolent” interference, they fail to notice that shepherd’s pie is on tonight’s menu. Are you obligated to keep a surprise pet you weren’t consulted about? Should the reader always know more than the characters? And what if your phone calendar could force you to do stuff? All this and more in To Storm Heaven, in which the power of Ashkaar compels you.

#216: The Garden (VOY #11)

In today’s episode, if Voyager’s next rest stop doesn’t have a decent snack selection, they won’t make it to another one. But when the natives take an acute interest in their transporter tech, Janeway has to decide if a full pantry is worth the trade. Why is Voyager always so chill about classism? What’s the deal with the one human on the planet? And whose leola root stew did Joie Sakhlova pee in? All this and more in The Garden, or, I Can’t Believe It’s Not British!

#214: 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.

#189: The Rings of Tautee (TOS #78)

This week, when a scientist’s quest to give her people unlimited fusion power goes horribly awry, at least the explosion is pretty. But when Kirk wants to rescue as many survivors as he can, he learns that two’s company, three’s a Prime Directive violation. Can Jim keep his friend happy? Can the Enterprise keep the disaster from spreading to Earth? And can I keep Dan Forden from living rent-free in my head? All this and more in The Rings of Tautee, the book that won’t inspire any baby names anytime soon.

#187: Ghost of a Chance (VOY #7)

This week, when Voyager seeks to top up their deuterium tanks, they end up filling up their repair schedule instead. But when multiple crew members report seeing g-g-g-ghosts, they might end up rendering some good old Prime Directive–flouting aid to the nearby locals. How important is good PR in the Delta Quadrant? What kind of perfume are those Drosary ladies wearing? And where can I get me one of those aquatic massages? All this and more in Ghost of a Chance, the book that wants to show you this really cool telescope.
