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.

In today’s episode, Cadet Troi’s freshman year is off to a rough start, and if it isn’t one thing, it’s her mother. But once she signs up for a major pass/fail test early, she’s in for a slip of latinum, in for a bar. Can Deanna overcome her reputation of privilege? How quickly does Lwaxana go through valets? And is the galaxy ready for Kirk 2.0? All this and more in Breakaway, the book that throws an unexpected punctuation curve.
(A Quick Note: This review contains a few more spoilers than usual. Some have actually been requesting that for a while, so for those people, today is your lucky day. But if you want to keep some of the mystery alive, I’d recommend skipping the “MVP & LVP” section on this one. —Jess)
In today’s episode, when the Enterprise is tapped to scare off Beta Quadrant baddies, the locals advise shooting first and asking questions never. But when Picard realizes that may well be the only way to neutralize an even bigger threat, he’ll need all of Data’s USB ports to get the job done. Can you change the difficulty setting of space? How do hiccups feel to a Trill? And how much setup is too much for one pun? All this and more in Intellivore, the book that demonstrates the value of (ab)using your noggin.
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.
In today’s episode, the Starfleet Academy Band’s performance at a competition earns them a new biggest fan.

Will Geordi make the leap from roadie to band member? Is Phish’s influence still being felt in the 24th century? All this and more in Crossfire, the book where reversing the polarity still works.
