Pathways.

Every now and then a Star Trek book comes along that gives readers a deeper, more meaningful understanding of the characters we've grown to love on screen. Done well, these kinds of books can give you a great appreciation for characters you once thought were underdeveloped. Done poorly, these kinds of books can be extremely frustrating.

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan discuss Pathways, the Star Trek: Voyager novel by none other than series co-creator, Jeri Taylor. They discuss each of the characters' stories and whether the book stands up.

In the news section, there's a lot of new comics coming out from IDW. And we've got a new book announcement!
