#252: Vengeance (DS9 #22)

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.

#244: Trial by Error (DS9 #21)

In today’s episode, while Quark prepares for a transaction with a new customer, Jake Sisko is itching to get his learner’s permit. But when the runabout gets knocked into the Gamma Quadrant with Ben’s baby on board, he’ll have to lay down arms to machine-learn his way to a solution. Can Kira keep the s___ of five aggrieved parties away from the fan? Is Quark making rookie mistakes? Would Sisko have been a good teacher? All this and more in Trial by Error, the book that knows there’s always time for a snooze.

#241: Honor Bound (DS9 YA #11, Day of Honor)

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.

#236: Armageddon Sky (DS9, Day of Honor #2)

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. But the exiles on the planet below demand nothing less in exchange for the survivors than the total rerouting of nature’s course. When are Julian’s genetic enhancements a disadvantage? 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!

#234: Legends of the Ferengi (DS9, misc.)

In today’s episode, Quark is back to shill some more useless bathroom-library fodder, and this time he’s decided two showrunners are better than one. But this may be a case where less turns out to be more. What are the best word game rules? Which parts of the 90s are better off left behind? And why did I have to pay so much money for this? All this and more in Legends of the Ferengi, the book that’s actually an Excellent on the Quark scale.
