The War of the Prophets.
Trapped 25 years in the future, the crew of the U.S.S. Defiant is
faced with a future that is nearly unrecognizable. Only days away
from Armageddon, the galaxy stands on a knife's edge. On one side,
the Bajoran Ascendancy: a cult-like theocracy led by the Emissary
of the "True Prophets": Weyoun. On the other, the remnants of a
Federation nearly brought to its knees. In the middle: Captain
Benjamin Sisko, who must decide once and for all the outcome of
"The War of the Prophets."
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the second book of the DS9: Millennium trilogy: The War of the Prophets by Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens. We talk about the events that led us to this point, an alternate future, Weyoun and the Pah-Wraiths, the mysterious Grigari, the mirror universe tactic, Starfleet's desperate "Project Phoenix," and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.
In the news section, we judge the cover of the upcoming TNG: Available Light by Dayton Ward, talk about the new Picard Stargazer one-shot comic coming from IDW, and review the first issue of Star Trek vs. Transformers. issue of the Star Trek: Discovery: Succession miniseries.
