Diane Carey launched a cross-generational story that swept through all four of the then-existing series, The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. Each novel featured a standalone story that connected with the other tales, and the first featured Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise. Set a very short…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1999) – Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang, and Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
Station log: stardate unknown Ira Steven Behr and Hans Beimler pen this fun holodeck run amuck episode that first aired on 24 February, 1999. The station’s Vic Fontaine (James Darren) is one of the most popular holosuite programs, but a glitch has caused mobsters to take over Vic’s nightclub, and the station crew are going…

Issues Vol. 6
Kirk continues his sterling work at West End Comics, and sent a couple of new titles my way in addition to my pull list, which wasn’t huge this week, but was very entertaining! First up is Star Trek (IDW) Issue 46. This is written by Mike Johnson, with art by Rachael Stott, colours by Davide…
