In today’s episode, the moment Riker decides to stand up for his love is the same moment Worf takes a knee. But the love he hopes to proclaim might not be so undying when some old adversaries roll up to Betazed at the same time. How many of the padds that cross Picard’s desk are time cards? Can Deanna sense Data’s chip emotions? And is it really fair to compare this book to the first Imzadi? All this and more in Triangle: Imzadi II, the book that’s really more of a square, if you think about it.
In today’s episode, a Tal Shiar operative decides the ending of Star Trek VI needs a rewrite. But she paid so much attention to the movies that she doesn’t recognize an obscure episode of the TV show swooping in to thwart her plans. Should pets have human names? Which senior officer needs cyber-security training most badly? And what’s the best way for a hapless human to acclimate to time travel? All this and more in Assignment: Eternity, or, Call Me Ishmael Junior.
In today’s episode, Captain Spock looks forward to reuniting with an old friend who needs some help at a remote desert outpost. But when their journey into the sands leads them to the same madman they once defeated as teenagers, it’s no mirage. Will Spock ever run out of friends and family we’ve never met? Can Dr. McCoy catch loquacious lightning in a bottle twice? And is Uhura cut out for the hot seat? All this and more in Vulcan’s Forge, or, Yesteryear II: Volcanic Boogaloo.
In today’s episode, yet another relative of Spock’s we’ve never met before has a date with a unique destiny. But a stop along the way and some freewheeling new friends have him worrying that she might abandon the track before she ever gets on it. How hard is it in-universe for civilians to keep up with Kirk’s rank? Is sex work illegal in the Federation? And will Spock get his king jumped? All this and more in Mind Meld, the book that believes in the heart of the ca—er, numbers.
This week, a Romulan with a personal vendetta un-drops the bridge on Kirk for her own nefarious ends. But she’s also doing it to help out the Borg, who hope to use him to take out their own worst enemy and assimilate the Federation (but not the Romulans, they double-pinky-swear). What use do the Borg have for an alliance with anyone? What’s behind the curtain at the Vulcan video store? And when Kirk’s not on screen, should the other characters be asking, “Where’s Jimmy?” All this and more in The Return, the book that didn’t even let the corpse get cold.
