After Voyager completed its television run, the story of Captain Janeway and her crew was continued in literary form beginning with Christie Golden's Homecoming in 2003. The four novels from Golden took Voyager in new directions. But after the Spirit Walk duology, that continuing voyage appeared to have come to an end. Five years later, Kirsten Beyer picked up the baton with Full Circle and brought her own changes to the story. In this episode of Literary Treks we're joined by Beyer to discuss how her novels have kept Voyager alive, about writing Voyager in general and The Eternal Tide specifically, and why some of the elements that didn't work so well on-screen are perfect when it comes to the literary universe.
In our news segment we cover books including James Swallow's The Stuff of Dreams, Dayton Ward's From History's Shadow, David A. Goodman's Federation: The First 150 Years, David R. George III's Revelations and Dust, and a Star Trek craft book. In comics we cover Countdown to Darkness, Ongoing #16, #17, and #18, and we discuss our thoughts on Ongoing #15, Mirrored, Part I.
