This week, an invading force arrives with One Weird Trick for losing weight, but the Klingons are more concerned with the boogeyman that just jumped out of the closet. But if the Enterprise wants any data on the new arrivals, they may have to dig into their own lore first. What newspaper comics are still known in the 23rd century? How many middle initials does Kirk have floating around out there? And is Carey the right Diane for this job? All this and more in First Strike, the first book of the Invasion! saga, or as I like to call it, The Rath Cycle.
This week, ignoring the tachyon field emanating from a starship graveyard proves much easier said than done. But when a malevolent concierge assures Voyager that there’s no way to check out, it might be up to the weirdest loner on the ship to save them all. Is three-dimensional chess still in vogue in the 24th century? Is the computer monitoring the crew’s calls for quality assurance? And why is Star Trek so bad at handling characters who behave even slightly un-Starfleetly? All this and more in Cybersong, the book that takes the cookies to sickbay.
This week, it looks like adding “video game expert” to their LinkedIn profiles is finally going to pay off for Jake and Nog. But when they realize the fake games are hurting real people, they’ll have to decide if it’s worth all the shakes they can drink. Will this be the best or worst spring break ever? Is Jake’s back going to be okay? And does anyone even say “catsup” today, much less four hundred years from now? All this and more in Highest Score, the book that has a game for the grown-ups, too!
This week, a species called the Hive sucks a Bajoran colony world dry, but it’s hardly a happy ending. But when the Hive does the splits, Sisko has to throw together a basic etiquette lesson plan as both Bajor and Cardassia Prime get ready to fight back. Is the Great Design all it’s cracked up to be? Will young Tork turn into a Young Turk? And is this yet another job for the Emissary? All this and more in Objective: Bajor, the book that’s awfully stingy with the uniforms.
