#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.

#223: Avenger (Shatnerverse)

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.

#221: 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.

#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.

#141: Warchild (DS9 #7)

This week, when a plague sweeps through Bajoran resettlement camps, Sisko is hesitant to send in his first-stringers. But when a prophecy from Kai Opaka about a healer girl unifying the world makes its way to him, he tasks Dax with finding a straw of hay in a stack of needles. What does Ferengi poetry sound like? How do Bajorans interpret Cinderella? And how many views are Odo’s makeup tutorials getting? All this and more in Warchild, the book where Bashir gets all the donuts he can eat.
