\\nThe publication of David Mack\\u2019s Storming Heaven in March 2012\\nmarked the end of the Vanguard saga\\u2014or so we thought. As it turns\\nout there\\u2019s a little more to the story. It comes in the form of\\nwhat author Dayton Ward calls \\u201ca coda\\u201d\\u2014just a little something\\nextra for fans of this series that is set in the TOS time period.\\nIn this, the premiere episode of our books and comics show, we\\u2019re\\njoined by Dayton to discuss how this novella, \\u201cIn Tempest\\u2019s Wake,\\u201d\\ncame about. In the process we also find out more about the\\ninspiration of the Vanguard series itself, Dayton\\u2019s desire to write\\nCaptain Proton stories, and whether or not there\\u2019s a smoking jacket\\nin Dayton\\u2019s closet.

\\nIn our news segment we cover upcoming releases in the literary\\nworld including Christopher L. Bennett\\u2019s continuation of the\\nRomulan War story for the Enterprise line, David Mack\\u2019s second\\ninstallment in Cold Equations, Silent Weapons, and we look at three\\nupcoming releases from IDW on the comic front: Countdown to\\nDarkness, Star Trek Ongoing #15, and Brannon Braga\\u2019s Hive #3.
