In today’s episode, when Starfleet sends Picard in search of an AWOL captain, he picks Worf for his plus-one. But the search-and-rescue doubles as a treasure hunt, and the first one to find it will be singing glor’ya, glor’ya, hallelujah. Can MJF get away with putting his prose in characters’ mouths? How well does naming characters after things near you on your desk work out? And did Picard’s quarry go through some changes after leaving Starfleet? All this and more in Dujonian’s Hoard, the book that spares the Bolian (sort of).
In today’s episode, if you don’t check the veracity of scary new rumors, you’ll look really bad later if they turn out to be true. But no matter how you slice it, while you’re away, the Klingons will play, and you’d better hope the folks you left home are up to the job. Does anyone in 2023 find the Garak/Bashir ship “puzzling”? What does the reading list to just be able to understand humans look like? And is this the fall of the house of Quark? All this and more in Vengeance, the book with the cover appearance so egregious it made me coin the word readbait.
In today’s episode, Alexander is growing hair and losing his temper in unusual places. But when his grandparents prove out of their depth, Worf returns from Deep Space Nine to help him lawyer up before he hits the gym. When did Worf suddenly become a good dad? How much of Klingon nature would ADHD explain? And how badly are Alexander’s teachers dropping the ball? All this and more in Honor Bound, the book that’s done more homework than its students.
In today’s episode, when the Klingons shoot down a science yacht in the Demilitarized Zone, it gets everyone wondering what they’re keeping a lid on over there.

Would Klingons dig post-rock? And what new words did you learn today? All this and more in Armageddon Sky, the book with an uncredited cameo!
In today’s episode, when Worf signs up for a little light election interference, he realizes too late he double-booked.

Should you launch a miniseries by immediately subverting the concept? And is it really Alexander who wants to check out his unusual lineage? All this and more in Ancient Blood, the book that has more Common Sense than common sense.
