Invasion! Time's Enemy.

With the first two books setting up an epic new enemy, maybe it’s time for a side quest with the crew of Deep Space Nine. Something that’s Fury-adjacent and chock-full of technobabble.

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Casey Pettitt and Jonathan Koan discuss the book, Time’s Enemy, book three and DS9’s entry in the Invasion! saga. They discuss the connections to the other books in the series, the mystery that kicks off the novel, hard sci-fi vs political sci-fi, a new alien threat, and much more! And most importantly, they ponder on where the Furies are.
