In today’s episode, it’s a bunch of episodes! Fans submit their own original stories, in which Cyrano Jones finally finishes cleaning up Space Station K-7, a diplomat made good yearns to show Kirk how far she’s come along, and Sisko does an ailing race a favor by dropping off their time capsule. Does Mr. Mot dye hair in his shop? Why does nobody care that the Doctor literally got a crew member killed? And can Chakotay beat his own breakup any% PB? All this and more in Strange New Worlds, the book that knows when to activate Paranoid Mode.
In today’s episode, when unknown assailants attacking a Klingon colony literally go scorched-earth, Kirk can barely handle the heat, but agrees to stay in the kitchen. But in order to resolve the situation peacefully, it may come down to a pants-off dance-off. Does Projeff imply the existence of Amateurjeff? When will the other stroke drop? And how do you say “poop head” in Klingon? All this and more in Treaty’s Law, the book that really puts the phrase “hydrate or die-drate” to the test.
This week, the Furies are back, and they’ve traded scaring the hell out of people for scaring it into them. But the Enterprise crew has to find a way in through the out door if they ever want to see snowy Idaho again. Can the Furies really be negotiated with? Are they truly as afraid of the Alpha Quadrant as the A.Q. is of them? And why aren’t they more baffled by Data? All this and more in The Soldiers of Fear, the book that reminds us why we don’t get attached to redshirts.
This week, when a scientist’s quest to give her people unlimited fusion power goes horribly awry, at least the explosion is pretty.

Can the Enterprise keep the disaster from spreading to Earth? And can I keep Dan Forden from living rent-free in my head?
