David Mack: Firewall.
With the release of Star Trek: Picard the questions of what
happened to our favorite characters from shows like Deep Space Nine
and Voyager was once again up in the air and the introduction of
Seven of Nine to the show made the questions around her history
after the series even more mysterious.
In this episode of Literary Treks hosts, Matthew, Casey and Jonathan welcome author David Mack to discuss his new Picard era novel, Firewall. We discus the background of the story, writing in the Picard timeline, Seven’s emotions, an anchor, getting in the way, new characters, the spy element, staying true, the framing device, production, making the map, what’s next for David and our final thoughts.
In the news section we discuss two newly announced books for
2024!
