Ascendance: David R. George III.

\\n

The Deep Space Nine relaunch had been building to a showdown\\nwith the Ascendants and The Soul Key left fans with a massive\\ncliffhanger but with Star Trek Destiny bringing all the crews\\ntogether, the Ascendants story line was dropped in order to align\\nthe DS9 books with the rest of the 24th century. Fans have long\\nwondered what transpired with the Ascendants and how it spurred\\nmajor changes for many of the DS9 characters, luckily the answers\\nhave finally arrived.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan\\nGunther are joined by author David R. George III to talk his latest\\nDeep Space Nine book Ascendance. We discuss weaving the tapestry,\\nresearch, what to tell and what not to tell, prophesies, character\\narcs, Sisko, faith and belief, working things in, what\\u2019s next and\\nwhere to find David online.

\\n

In the news segment we let everyone know that we are covering\\nThe Good That Men Do next week.
