#284: The Liberated (DS9 #26, Rebels 3/3)

In today’s episode, Sisko’s done all the training he can do, and Kai Winn’s done all the talking she plans to do. With permanent brain damage and another occupation in the cards, it’s time for both to make their last stand against their respective oppressors. Is being an asshole a right that can be earned? Has the admiral from hell actually been to hell? And can a throwaway line skunk an entire premise? All this and more in The Liberated, the book that just might like video games a little bit, maybe.

#283: The Courageous (DS9 #25, Rebels 2/3)

In today’s episode, we get to see a little more of Bajor’s most important religious leader doing some Kai Winning in the past, but it’s clear everyone else woke up on the wrong side of the runabout. What is the motivation behind the invaders calling themselves “the liberated”? Is Worf forgetting his roots? And what is up with these super-generic covers? All this and more in The Courageous, the book that has too much head.

#282: The Conquered (DS9 #24, Rebels 1/3)

In today’s episode, the Bajorans get to run the station for two months, and Kai Winn has a lot of changes in mind. Meanwhile, over in the Gamma Quadrant, the effort to whip a planet getting steamrolled by the Cardassians into shape is hamstrung by their reliance on their toys. Is Kai Winn secretly an awesome boss? Why do some authors fixate so much on Odo’s shapeshifting? And did we all already forget about what just happened to Quark? All this and more in The Conquered, the first book in the trilogy that doesn’t have the titles on the cover for some reason?

#238: Ship of the Line (TNG event)

In today’s episode, a starship trying to head off a Klingon invasion suddenly finds its salad tossed and its eggs scrambled. But when its time-displaced captain plays the sympathy card to get the new Enterprise gig, the crew isn’t confident in his old-school thinking. Would the TOS era have had ship’s counselors? Does anyone in Starfleet understand how seniority works? And what’s up with the octo decapus? All this and more in Ship of the Line, the book with the most tempting mail-in offer yet!

#175: Station Rage (DS9 #13)

This week, when an exploration of the station’s deepest depths turns up a few cold plates of Cardie corpses, only Garak knows the true value of their find. But when he reanimates the dormant bodies, an old Gul gets the Google Alert he’s been dreading for decades. Will a misused homonym portend a bad book? What’s the right amount of Earth idioms for aliens to use? And is this the part where Odo blows up? All this and more in Station Rage, one of the tightest MVP races to date!
