In today’s episode, after tromping on Boothby’s flowers, Cadet Janeway vows to take her next mission one step at a time. But when her team catches the local crud and is subjected to enforced social distancing, the only cure is the grass that’s redder on the other side. How’s Geordi’s roadie gig going?

All this and more in The Chance Factor, or, Tango & Kath.

#231: Lifeline (VOY YA #1)

In today’s episode, Janeway brought some baggage with her to the Academy, and I don’t just mean her duffel bag full of coffee. But unless she can pull her head out of her butt long enough to make a friend that isn’t a hologram, her Starfleet career might end before it even starts. Is Starfleet Academy a multiverse hub? Does the replicator know what’s good for you better than you do? And how many bonded-twin races can one galaxy hold?

#221: Breakaway (TNG YA #12)

In today’s episode, Cadet Troi’s freshman year is off to a rough start, and if it isn’t one thing, it’s her mother. But once she signs up for a major pass/fail test early, she’s in for a slip of latinum, in for a bar. Can Deanna overcome her reputation of privilege? How quickly does Lwaxana go through valets? And is the galaxy ready for Kirk 2.0? All this and more in Breakaway, the book that throws an unexpected punctuation curve.

#204: Cadet Kirk (TOS YA #3)

In today’s episode, Jimmy Kirk is an uptight starched-shirt who treats regulations like gospel. But he’s also a loose cannon who plays by his own rules? He’ll have to figure out which one he is if he wants to escape a hostage situation with his and his new friends’ lives intact. Does Diane Carey like children? Can they handle her usual onslaught of nautical jargon? And where does the Zodiac rank on the “ugliest starships” list? All this and more in Cadet Kirk, the book for swingin’ swingles.
