gary mitchell – Deep Space Spines

In today’s episode, Kirk finally gets let in on a secret he’s been shut out of for over a decade. But when actual ridge-headed Klingons get loose on his Enterprise, he has to figure out how to clean up a TNG-level spill with a TOS mop. How much of this trilogy is actually brotherly keeping by volume? Will book Klingons ever fully escape Ford’s shadow? And was there ever a more satisfying team to root against than the late-90s Yankees? All this and more in Enterprise, the book that features scenes from an Italian restaurant.

In Event Novels, TOS

Remember First Contact? Of course you do, it’s great. (At least, I recall that being the case. Not gonna lie, I’ll be kind of shook if it’s not when I revisit it.) Well, this week’s event novel is more like the supermarket tabloid version of that well-known tale. A tell-all book has just been released positing that the series of events generally accepted as Earth’s first exposure to Vulcan were in fact not as such, and that the real first contact happened twenty years prior. Meanwhile, Kirk and Spock have dreams, each independently of the other, that they were involved in the whole crazy shebang somehow. Were they? or is the book just that gripping?
