David R. George III: Original Sin.
Benjamin Sisko has inhabited many roles in his life: husband,
Emissary, and Starfleet Captain. But when a terrifying alien force
attacks the USS Robinson and abducts 87 children, including Sisko's
daughter Rebecca, his role as her father threatens to overwhelm all
of the others, especially since this incident mirrors the
kidnapping of Rebecca as a toddler six years earlier. Can he remain
objective through this crisis and see it to a peaceful end, or will
the possibility of the loss of his daughter spell doom for the
mission?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by author David R. George III to talk about his latest book, Deep Space Nine: Gamma: Original Sin. We discuss the two stories told in tandem, the character of Jasmine Tey, crime drama as Star Trek story, the nature of Rebecca Sisko, a completely alien encounter, the possibility of a Gamma series going forward, and where to follow David R. George III online.
In the news segment, we invite Amy Nelson of Earl Grey and The Edge back on the show to discuss issue number four of the Mirror Broken comic series from IDW.
