Dave Galanter: Dead Endless.
While Stamets leads the U.S.S. Discovery through the mycelial
network, an error occurs, and the starship becomes trapped within
the network. A mysterious stranger, calling out to Stamets, appears
to be a human Starfleet officer, but the crew can't be sure. With
the starship's hull suffering under the onslaught of the
inhabitants of the network, can Stamets and the rest of the crew of
Discovery escape in time?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined by author Dave Galanter to discuss his new Discovery novel Dead Endless. We talk about how the story came about, the setting of this story, the relationship between Hugh Culber and Paul Stamets, the mysterious Ephraim, the secondary characters in the story, the bond between a trio of great characters, and end with where Dave can be found online and what he is working on now.
At the top of the show, we review the new Voyager mirror
universe comic Mirrors and Smoke, and respond to your feedback from
The Babel Conference for Literary Treks 290: I Want All the
Spock.
