    Out Today: “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum”

    Out today: “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum“, by Una McCormack.

    When Una Chin-Riley and Christopher Pike meet at Starfleet Academy after one of his lectures, they immediately become friends. A stellar student, Una is the “poster girl” of her class, and Pike is determined to become a Starfleet captain with his own ship, rhetorically assembling his dream crew. As their friendship evolves, Pike also suspects Una is involved with the Euxhana, a Chionian cultural minority, who are seeking asylum in Federation space, leading to more questions than answers.

    Twenty-five years later, Una and Pike are working together on the USS Enterprise to settle a Chionian trade agreement when a pro-Euxhana saboteur launches a terrorist attack. When the suspect is taken into custody for interrogation and is discovered to have a history with Una, her past associations resurface, threatening to expose a secret she’s been harboring all these years…

    Star Trek #28

    Lore has destroyed the multiverse, and its fate now lies in Benjamin Sisko’s hands. But after the U.S.S. Theseus slingshots into the Celestial Temple, Sisko finds himself without his crew…or any technology…on a Bronze-age Bajor. The ancient Bajorans don’t know what to make of him: Is he a terrifying threat or the prophet they’ve been waiting for? If Sisko is to save life itself from the Orb of Destruction, he must first save himself…



    Star Trek: Defiant #23

    Alexander’s cha’DIch Worf has tasked him with a near-impossible task for his Errand of Valor: rescue the workers rebelling against a deuterium mega-power, Archanis Inter-Corporate. He must fight selflessly in the name of the helpless… even if it costs him his life. If that weren’t enough of a challenge, a face from Alexander’s bloody past appears to test where his heart truly lies. Meanwhile, in the minefield of the Alpha Quadrant, Ro, B’Elanna, and O’Brien find themselves in a stalemate between the Cardassians and Section 31 that could end explosively.

    Star Trek: Lower Decks #3

    The crew of the USS Cerritos have just received their personality guidance reports from the counselors of the planet Clarew, and Rutherford feels guilty he’s not engineering at a higher capacity with his implants. He should be operating above 134 percent nominal at least. The Cerritos’ next mission is a supply run to Tavela Minor, but they first need to stop by the Alecto system to get some supplies to, uh, supply them with. However, just before they warp, they see the Alecto system isn’t only missing; it doesn’t exist. Like at all. Now they have a space mystery at hand: What could cause a whole star system to disappear?

    Star Trek: Section 31 #1

    From the pen of Alyssa Wong (Spirit World, Doctor Aphra) and the brush of Megan Levens (Star Trek) comes the exciting single-issue spin-off of the forthcoming Star Trek: Section 31 movie! The issue features Emperor Philippa Georgiou on a brand-new, raucous, and exhilarating adventure.

    Una McCormack Interview With StarTrekBookClub.com

    I start off my conversation with Una McCormack with a mutual admiration for time shenanigans, then we move on to talk about the audio adaptation of her upcoming book “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Asylum” and features “Una by Una”, which is a clever way of saying that this is the first time that Una McCormack has written a story specifically for Una Chin-Riley, the first officer of the Enterprise under Captain Pike.  The story features multiple types of sentient alien cats, linguistic shenanigans, and a student production of The Mikado!

    We have a great conversation about the origins of the story and how it changed from the initial concept to what we’re about to read and how the various strikes effected the final outcome, then briefly talk about how fun it is to be writing a character that’s been named after you.  Una says Una (the character) is  an onion with a solid but complicated relationship with Pike and they rely on each other in a wonderful way.

    We then talk about her work in the Doctor Who franchise and the fantastic audio series that has hundreds upon hundreds of entries from “Big Finish”, something that we both feel Trek could learn and benefit from.

    I ask her about the Weird Universe book series, it was started by Eric Brown and she’s written two of the four books in the series.  It has a cool concept that I think I’d like to eventually check out.

    New Star Trek Book: “It Rhymes With Takei”

    It Rhymes With Takei by George Takei has been added to the Star Trek Book Club!

    Following the award-winning bestseller They Called Us Enemy, George Takei’s new full-color graphic memoir reveals his most personal story of all—told in full for the first time anywhere!

    George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing—one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared… and it rhymes with Takei.

    Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger, now joined by the award-winning colorist José Villarrubia, for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the paralyzing fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes With Takei presents a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history.

    Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes With Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly—and legally—before the whole world.

    Looking back on his own astonishing life on both sides of the closet, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid witness to how far America has come… and how precious that progress is. — a 328-page, full-color, HARDCOVER graphic novel with 3? French flaps, 6.5? x 9?

    The book is currently scheduled to be published on June 1, 2024

    Star Trek: Lost to Eternity

    Three Eras. Three Mysteries. One Ancient Enemy?

    2024: Almost forty years ago, marine biologist Gillian Taylor stormed away from her dream job at Sausalito’s Cetacean Institute—and was never seen or heard from again. Now a new true crime podcast has reopened that cold case, but investigator Melinda Silver has no idea that her search for the truth about Gillian’s disappearance will ultimately stretch across time and space—and attract the attention of a ruthless obsessive with his own secret agenda.

    2268:The U.S.S. Enterprise’s five-year mission is interrupted when Captain James T. Kirk and his crew set out to recover an abducted Federation scientist whose classified secrets are being sought by the Klingons as well. The trail leads to a barbaric world off limits to both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire—and an ageless mastermind on a quest for eternity.

    2292: The Osori, an ancient alien species, has finally agreed to establish relations with its much younger neighbors: the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans. A joint mission involving ships from all three powers, including the Enterprise-A, turns explosive when one of the Osori envoys is apparently killed. Each side blames the others, but the truth lies buried deep, nearly three hundred years in the past…

    This is the first Trek story that I think I’ve read that featured an entire storyline in modern times that then eventually tied into not one, but two different stories in two future time periods. I think I would have been fine if there were just two stories total, but having three of them confused me more than I was happy with and diminished the end result.
