#236: Ship of the Line (TNG event)

In today’s episode, a starship trying to head off a Klingon invasion suddenly finds its salad tossed and its eggs scrambled. But when its time-displaced captain plays the sympathy card to get the new Enterprise gig, the crew isn’t confident in his old-school thinking. Would the TOS era have had ship’s counselors? Does anyone in Starfleet understand how seniority works? And what’s up with the octo decapus? All this and more in Ship of the Line, the book with the most tempting mail-in offer yet!

#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.

#210: Crossfire (TNG YA #11)

In today’s episode, the Starfleet Academy Band’s performance at a competition earns them a new biggest fan. But he’s not interested in waiting to book a private gig, and drags them into the worst USO Tour ever. Can Riker withstand a gauntlet of light hazing? Will Geordi make the leap from roadie to band member? Is Phish’s influence still being felt in the 24th century? All this and more in Crossfire, the book where reversing the polarity still works.

#138: Foreign Foes (TNG #31)

This week, getting the Klingons and a race they waged war against for seventy years to get along turns out to be exactly as frustrating as it sounds. But the negotiations go from bad to worse when Riker and Deanna go missing, Geordi goes for-real blind, and the Fox News Kool-Aid impairs Data’s command judgment. Which officer does the most puff-piece interviews? Does the Federation provide adequate phaser training for civilians? And can you really work a combadge with a spoon? All this and more in Foreign Foes, or, Blame It on the Grain.

#098: Imzadi (TNG event novel)

This week, Riker has had a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day, and by “day” I mean “four decades”. But then he suddenly remembers he lives in Star Trek and hijacks the Guardian of Forever to take a mulligan. Meanwhile, we take our own trip to the past and watch a young, cocky, clean-shaven Will Riker as he brings the full force of the old Riker charm to bear on an aloof, self-assured Betazoid named Deanna Troi. How do Betazoid restaurants work? Do you think Kirk wrote his own autobiography? And can any of us dream of aspiring to Lwaxana Troi’s level of pettiness? All this and more in Imzadi, the book that begins, naturally, at the end.
