The Khitomer Conflict\\nBegins.

Star Trek Into Darkness was built around the belief that war\\nwith the Klingons was inevitable\\u2014at least in the eyes of Admiral\\nMarcus. The prospect itself served a plot focused on the inner\\nworkings of Starfleet. And while the film didn\'t deliver this\\ngalactic conflict, IDW\'s Star Trek Ongoing series will. The\\nbig-screen story was continued in the uninspiring After Darkness\\nand now, with that out of the way, a new four-part story titled\\n"The Khitomer Conflict" begins in Ongoing #25. In this episode of\\nLiterary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones dive\\ninto the first part of this war story to find out just what is\\ngoing on between the Klingons and Romulans, how the Federation and\\nSection 31 are involved, and why this story should have been After\\nDarkness in the first place.

In our news segment we look at a flood of books and comics news\\nincluding John Jackson Miller\'s upcoming Titan novella Absent\\nEnemies, Michael A. Martin\'s Seasons of Light and Darkness, Scott\\nHarrison\'s Shadow of the Machine, and two yet-to-be-titled books\\ncoming from Scott Pearson and the writing team of Paula M. Block\\nand Terry J. Erdmann. We also talk cover art for Dayton Ward\'s\\nPeaceable Kingdoms and the rest of The Fall, IDW\'s Stardate\\nCollection Volume 2, and we discuss Dayton\'s recent Ten For Ward\\npost about Star Trek novels for the new reader.\\xa0
