#264: Strange New Worlds (anthology)

In today’s episode, it’s a bunch of episodes! Fans submit their own original stories, in which Cyrano Jones finally finishes cleaning up Space Station K-7, a diplomat made good yearns to show Kirk how far she’s come along, and Sisko does an ailing race a favor by dropping off their time capsule. Does Mr. Mot dye hair in his shop? Why does nobody care that the Doctor literally got a crew member killed? And can Chakotay beat his own breakup any% PB? All this and more in Strange New Worlds, the book that knows when to activate Paranoid Mode.

#222: Wrath of the Prophets (DS9 #20)

Spoiler level in this review: somewhat heavy.

In today’s episode, when a Bajoran leader turns to the black market for solutions, her refurbished replicators come with an unwanted extra. But when a certain well-known Maquis makes an offer Sisko can’t refuse, the station’s snark levels threaten to reach critical mass. Is this town big enough for two strong-willed Bajoran women? Why is Dax spacing out all the time? And don’t you hate it when Kai Winn is right? All this and more in Wrath of the Prophets, the book that pours kerosene on the “O’Brien is the worst husband ever” fire.

#185: Rogue Saucer (TNG #39)

This week, when a malware attack softlocks the Enterprise bridge, Admiral Nechayev takes the opportunity to have them to test a new prototype saucer section. But when her new aide hijacks the experiment, the Prime Directive itself may be at stake. Who is the Architect? Who was the worst senior officer to babysit as a kid? And are canon-foreshadowing jokes ever not funny? All this and more in Rogue Saucer, or, When Keepin’ Saucer Sep Real Goes Wrong.

#159: The Romulan Stratagem (TNG #35)

This week, Picard and Sela drag out their best Kirk speeches in hopes of closing a sale. Meanwhile, Ro Laren winds up on the hospitality beat and lands elbow-deep in one of the worst kinds of boy trouble. What’s the correct take on cargo pants? What’s to be done about the lack of synonyms for “android”? And who do we talk to about getting an anthology of Guinan’s exploits on Risa? All this and more in The Romulan Stratagem, the book that isn’t afraid to name-drop a deep Poe cut.

#142: Requiem (TNG #32)

This week, Kirk’s battle with the Gorn captain remains the stuff of legend a century later, but the official Blu-Rays all cut off right at the good part. But when Picard tastes of the forbidden donut, he’ll get his own chance to put his stamp on history. How many personal growth arcs can Barclay sustain? Can beggars still not be choosers in the 24th century? And which TOS episode is this book really a sequel to? All this and more in Requiem, the perfect book to read after a phaser-induced siesta.
