Mere Mortals.
The Borg continue to threaten the Federation with extinction, and
its up to the crews of the Enterprise, Aventine, and Titan to stop
them! On New Erigol, the Titan crew find themselves stranded, at
the mercy of the mysterious Caelier and their centuries-old
companion, Captain Erika Hernandez of the Columbia. Meanwhile, the
Enterprise and Aventine explore the subspace tunnels that fill the
Azure Nebula. Will they be able to determine which of them the Borg
are using to enter Federation space and close it in time?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson discus the second book in the Destiny trilogy Mere Mortals. We talk about the Enterprise and Aventine's attempts to scout the subspace tunnels, the plight of the Titan crew, Captain Hernandez's experiences with the Caeliar, President Bacco's attempts to win the Federation allies in their struggle against the Borg, Pazlar and Ra-Havreii's psychological issues, Deanna's ill-fated pregnancy, the shocking ending, and wrap up with our final thoughts.
At the top of the show, we respond to listener feedback from The Babel Conference for Literary Treks 286: The Wrong Thing for the Right Reason.
