#217: The Garden (VOY #11)

In today’s episode, if Voyager’s next rest stop doesn’t have a decent snack selection, they won’t make it to another one. But when the natives take an acute interest in their transporter tech, Janeway has to decide if a full pantry is worth the trade. Why is Voyager always so chill about classism? What’s the deal with the one human on the planet? And whose leola root stew did Joie Sakhlova pee in? All this and more in The Garden, or, I Can’t Believe It’s Not British!

#216: 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?

#215: 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.

#214: Mudd in Your Eye (TOS #81)

In today’s episode, notorious con man Harry Mudd adds an unlikely line item to his résumé: diplomat. But when the peace he forged falters and he and the Enterprise crew are caught in the fallout, they learn that death is only the beginning in the Nevis system. How did Mudd manage to escape the android planet? How do you keep a war going for that long? Can transporter accidents be harnessed for fashionable body modification? All this and more in Mudd in Your Eye, the book that gives Star Trek fans what they really want: hardcore nudity!

#213: Bless the Beasts (VOY #10)

In today’s episode, when Tom and Harry follow a siren out to sea, they end up not having a very merry time. But when their lady friend starts looking a little gray around the gills, Harry begins to suspect that the cure may be worse than the disease. Is it easier to find someone without a combadge than previously indicated? Should the Doctor put a higher priority on inventory checks? And does anyone on Voyager actually know the Prime Directive? All this and more in Bless the Beasts, the book brought to you by Harry Kim’s Pure Vibes, a four-disc compilation of Delta Quadrant jams that isn’t available in any store and can be all yours for four strips of latinum! Subspace operators are standing by!
