#249: The Best and the Brightest (TNG)

In today’s episode, we’ll have a double order of Starfleet Academy, hold the artwork. Six cadets start out hyperventilating over a broken group project, but they soon go on to bigger, better, and much more dangerous things. How high is the bar for a Trill’s first host? How many swirlies did Harry Kim get as a cadet? And how many progressive points do Star Trek‘s first openly gay characters earn it? All this and more in The Best and the Brightest, the book that plays fast and loose with the Vulcan names.

#215: The Tempest (DS9 #19)

In today’s episode, when Miles steals cable from Ops to keep Keiko entertained during a plasma storm, her armchair prognostications earn her a shot at the big-time. But when Dax starts tripping the light fantastic, it’s up to Keiko to find an exit ramp that will take them off the loop. Can Worf put the cat back in the bag? Was Miles born for the stage? And is Odo better at taking care of Molly than Miles is? All this and more in The Tempest, the book that’s probably Shakespeare?

#171: Violations (VOY #4)

This week, Voyager wakes up from a sketchy deal with one less computer core. But when they reboot in safe mode, they’ll need to get it back before it gets used to start a revolution. How many different ways can the EMH get “sick”? Is it cruel to drop continuity teases you know you can’t deliver on? And how necessary is it to tell people in the Delta Quadrant that you’re from the Federation? All this and more in Violations, the book that does a barrel roll.

#128: Sins of Commission (TNG #29)

This week, when a passenger liner pulls up alongside the Enterprise, an already stressed-out Worf is embarrassed by a social connection. But when an explosion forces the cruise ship’s evacuation, the aquarium exhibit could be the undoing of them all. Are we too hard on Alexander? When did Barclay get busted down? And do we really want to know what goes on in the “Vibration Room”? All this and more in Sins of Commission, the book where Geordi, unsurprisingly, has blow-up dolls on the brain.
