The Good That Men Do. When the final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise aired, it was promoted as a “valentine” to the fans. However, it’s reception left much to be desired. Featuring a nonsensical plot and laughable villains, “These Are the Voyages” was not well-loved. Therefore, when it was announced that an Enterprise “relaunch” story would undo some of the worst parts of that episode, many Enterprise fans rejoiced! In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther talk the Enterprise novel The Good That Men Do. We discuss the last episode of Enterprise, the audacity to rewrite canon, the set up, bringing Trip back, lack of vision, prequels are interesting, a tight story, swiss cheese, head canon, Trip and T’Pol, foundation of the Romulan War and our ratings. In the news we remind everyone that A Pocket Full of Lies is out! Hosts Production News Feature: The Good That Men Do Send us your feedback! Support the Network! |

Ascendance: David R. George III. The Deep Space Nine relaunch had been building to a showdown with the Ascendants and The Soul Key left fans with a massive cliffhanger but with Star Trek Destiny bringing all the crews together, the Ascendants story line was dropped in order to align the DS9 books with the rest of the 24th century. Fans have long wondered what transpired with the Ascendants and how it spurred major changes for many of the DS9 characters, luckily the answers have finally arrived. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther are joined by author David R. George III to talk his latest Deep Space Nine book Ascendance. We discuss weaving the tapestry, research, what to tell and what not to tell, prophesies, character arcs, Sisko, faith and belief, working things in, what’s next and where to find David online. In the news segment we let everyone know that we are covering The Good That Men Do next week. Hosts Production News Feature: David R. George III Send us your feedback! Support the Network! |
