When the Deep Space Nine relaunch began in 2001, readers were\\ntreated to a great series of stories that laid the groundwork for\\nthe shared continuity of the 24th century novels. Unfortunately,\\nthe ongoing story of DS9 under Captain Kira came to an unexpected\\nhalt with The Soul Key, the final novel before the narrative was\\njumped forward to catch up with the rest of the shared\\nuniverse.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan\\nGunther talk about The Soul Key. We discuss the end, a convoluted\\nplot, Ghemor and her plot, characters we know and love, forgotten\\ncharacters, comparisons, the cover and our ratings.

\\n

In the news segment we talk about Ongoing #52 and Star\\nTrek/Green Lantern #6.
