String Theory: Fusion.
As Voyager continues her exploration of the Monorhan star system,
they encounter a vast array orbiting a black home. Tuvok, having
been compelled to board the array, has come under the influence of
a mysterious alien lifeform. Meanwhile, a powerful being in the
guise of Captain Janeway's sister, Phoebe, carries out her sinister
agenda aboard Voyager.
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the second book in the String Theory trilogy, Fusion by Kirsten Beyer. We talk about Tuvok's journey, the mysterious array, the fourteenth tribe of Monorha and their role in the events unfolding, Phoebe Janeway, and the cliffhanger ending, wrapping up with our final thoughts and ratings.
At the top of the show, we discuss the results of a recent poll
in our Goodreads group, review the classic DS9 comic Blood & Honor
written by Mark Lenard, and respond to listener feedback from The
Babel Conference for Literary Treks 303: A Pair of Legs in
Sickbay.
