Una McCormack: The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway
Kathryn Janeway is known for her strength, drive, dedication, and nurturing nature. But how did her childhood and early career shape the woman who led her crew back from the Delta Quadrant, against all odds?

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and C Bryan Jones are joined by Kathryn\\u2019s ghostwriter\\u2014also know as Una McCormack\\u2014to find out how parents, grandparents, and even that pesky little sister, helped a young girl from Indiana become one of Starfleet\\u2019s most decorated admirals. We also discuss the important role that mentors play in our lives and how the Federation\\u2013Cardassian Wars influenced Janeway and those growing up in Starfleet families during the 24th century. In our news segment, we review the first two issues of the Star Trek: Voyager IDW comic miniseries Seven\\u2019s Reckoning.
