\\nThe Enterprise Experiment.

\\n

\\nAs series finales go "Turnabout Intruder" wasn\'t much of one. But\\nthat\'s because it wasn\'t at all the end of the journey. Sadly the\\nfive-year mission of the Enterprise got cut short for those of us\\nwatching on the tube. But certainly there were more missions that\\nfollowed Kirk\'s little body-switching adventure. In this episode of\\nLiterary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones explore\\nthe five-part comic series Star Trek: Year Four: The Enterprise\\nExperiment and one such mission. Penned by TOS writer D.C. Fontana,\\nThe Enterprise Experiment pulls together elements from three famous\\nOriginal Series episodes and mixes it with more modern Star Trek\\nlegends to create a story worthy of the big screen.

\\nIn our news segment we check in on Christopher L. Bennett\'s Rise of\\nthe Federation: A Choice of Futures, Star Trek Ongoing #22, and\\nIDW\'s plans for a second release of the Black, Blue, and Red Label\\neditions of Ongoing.\\xa0
