#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?

#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.

#200: The Final Fury (VOY #9, Invasion! #4)

In today’s episode, when Voyager stumbles upon the Fury homeworld, they also discover the galaxy’s largest gas-siphoning operation. But there isn’t much time to crack the Furies’ endgame, and Voyager’s only source of intel is nuttier than a squirrel turd. How are Tuvok’s students getting along? Is it even possible to make a dent in the Furies’ operation? And since when is Neelix the paragon of calm, cool, and collected? All this and more in The Final Fury, the book that really socks it to those pesky combadges.
