#233: End Game (NF #4)

In today’s episode, while Captain Calhoun fears he might be getting soft, Zak Kebron remains solid as a rock. But a new challenger might hatch a plan of its own before the captain can dispense old-school justice. Who’s the least developed Excalibur crew member so far? Can New Frontier fix the Prime Directive? And when does Star Trek get human nature wrong? All this and more in End Game, the book blessed by the Great Bird of the Galaxy him itself.

#232: The Two-Front War (NF #3)

In today’s episode, Calhoun smells a rat in the Thallonian refugees’ new digs, but without a reg to stand on, he goes against his better judgment. Meanwhile, Zak Kebron has to babysit a panicky doofus and Dr. Selar needs help getting mentally unconstipated. Can a bad lounge nickname hurt crew morale? Would anyone know if a Vulcan just made a ritual up? And is there such a thing as a conern lay? All this and more in The Two-Front War, the New Frontier book with the highest Peter David Quotient yet.

#229: Into the Void (NF #2)

In today’s episode, the Excalibur shoves off into Sector 221-G with some expected or unexpected live cargo, depending on who you ask. But as the captain looks around, he begins to wonder if maybe the toys on his island are a little too misfit. Do the kids know what selling out is anymore? Does the Excalibur have a quiet quitter? And who will budge first: the unstoppable horndog or the immovable Vulcan? All this and more in Into the Void, the book that can’t compete with that fancy store-bought dirt.

#228: House of Cards (New Frontier #1)

Today’s Star Trek is rated TV-MA for blood, gore, violence, language, self-performed face surgery, nudity, sexual situations, and Jellico.

Reader discretion is advised.

#222: Wrath of the Prophets (DS9 #20)

Spoiler level in this review: somewhat heavy.

In today’s episode, when a Bajoran leader turns to the black market for solutions, her refurbished replicators come with an unwanted extra. But when a certain well-known Maquis makes an offer Sisko can’t refuse, the station’s snark levels threaten to reach critical mass. Is this town big enough for two strong-willed Bajoran women? Why is Dax spacing out all the time? And don’t you hate it when Kai Winn is right? All this and more in Wrath of the Prophets, the book that pours kerosene on the “O’Brien is the worst husband ever” fire.
