Keith R.A. DeCandido: A Singular Destiny.
The galaxy has been changed forever. The Borg, once the
Federation's most fearsome enemy, has been eliminated once and for
all thanks to the efforts of four courageous Starfleet captains.
But now, the Federation and the rest of the powers in the Alpha and
Beta Quadrants are left to pick up the pieces after the devastating
invasion that left billions dead. New challenges and mysteries are
on the horizon, however, and the long-term consequences of the Borg
invasion are only now beginning to be felt.
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther are joined by Keith R.A. DeCandido to discuss his novel A Singular Destiny. We talk about following up Destiny, the interstitial chapters which give us a glimpse into hidden corners of Federation society, Sonek Pran and his uniqueness in the Star Trek universe, President Nan Bacco, the Typhon Pact, A Singular Destiny's legacy, and wrap up with what Keith is working on now and where he can be found online.
In the news segment, we report on four upcoming titles: Picard:
The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack, Picard: Official Collector's
Edition behind-the-scenes book from Titan, The Original Series: The
Higher Frontier by Chrisopher L. Bennett, and Hell's Mirror, a
Khan/Mirror Universe comic coming from IDW! We also respond to
Babel Conference feedback for Literary Treks 291: Get People
Laughing While They're Squatting and Literary Treks 292: More of a
Culmets Book.
