String Theory, Book 3: Evolution.
After incalculable losses, the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager continue
to battle against the forces of "Phoebe Janeway" and her army of
exiles, determined to re-enter Exosia. The effects of the conflict
among the Nacene threaten to spill beyond the boundaries of the
Monorhan system. The very underpinning of the universe threatens to
unravel thanks to the actions of the exiled Nacene, and only
Voyager stands in their way!
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson discuss the third and final book in the String Theory trilogy: Evolution by Heather Jarman. We talk about Tom & Harry's adventure in the Q Continuum, The Doctor's mission to Ocampa's past, the final showdown on Voyager, Janeway's absence in this novel, the plot elements that set us up for Voyager's future, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.
At the top of the show, we judge the upcoming More Beautiful
Than Death by David Mack by its cover, review issue #11 of Star
Trek: Year Five, and respond to feedback from The Babel Conference
for Literary Treks 304: Vulcans Do Not Cry.
