In today’s episode, a plant-killing plague is spreading faster than a rumor, but only Kirk has the real tea. Meanwhile, when Picard puts on his Dixon Hill hat, he becomes the man who knew too much, and Spock makes a discovery so startling, it makes him cash out his logic chips. Can you just be whoever’s kid you want? Is the Kobayashi Maru really that big a deal? And what the heck is happening on Mercury? All this and more in Avenger, the book that disengages the racism protocols.

This week, when Sarek and Spock catch a celebrity Uber back to Vulcan, the latter leaves a glowing five-star review, and the feeling’s mutual. But when some customers who aren’t so satisfied with Sarek’s services begin targeting his family, it’s up to Spock to figure out how to make it right for the client. Can Spock win the approval of his peers? Does he want to? Should he want to? And will bigotry actually save his life? All this and more in Crisis on Vulcan, the book with perhaps an even harder sell than Sarek’s.
This week, Sarek has some primo dirt on the Romulans, but he needs help closing the deal. Meanwhile, when James Kirk’s nephew gets caught up in a movement to make Earth great again, he starts to wonder if real-world experience is more valuable than credit hours. Why are the Klingons spoiling for a fight so soon after Khitomer? Is this a bad time for Sarek to take a new gig? And can Kirk be cool with his nephew’s new girlfriend? All this and more in Sarek, the book that’s brought to you by Aunt Sylvia’s Kidnapper Chow!
This week, when Spock is caught gallavanting on Romulus, Picard and Data need some high-end cosplay and a Klingon Uber to drag the ambassador back to Federation space and his senses. But Spock may be on the precipice of mending the centuries-long rift between Romulans and Vulcans, and it’ll take more than some Federation finger-wagging for him to give up now. Is Riker over the trombone? What’s the boring new ensign hiding? And what kind of monster puts ketchup on their eggs? All this and more in Unification, the novelization of the two-part episode—now with 400 percent more horny subplots!
I’m going to level with you: I’m not very good at crime procedurals. Ask my wife. We can be sitting watching an episode of Law & Order: SVU or what have you and she’ll have the killer figured out before the theme song. I’m not nearly as sharp as she is, so I sort of let events wash over me, and then at the big reveal I’m usually just like, “Oh, okay.” So the fact that I solved the central mystery of The Vulcan Academy Murders with nearly 200 pages still left to read does not reflect well upon it.
