Did you know the Federation has a bi-annual solar sailing race?\\nNeither did we. But they do, and it\\u2019s the job of Starfleet\\u2019s\\nflagship to oversee event and make sure no one cheats. It\\u2019s all\\npart of Ill Wind, a four-part DC comic series from 1995 penned by\\nDiane Duane that not only delivers the fun of TNG but also a\\nmessage about growing older, past regrets, and new horizons.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones join the race as we go through Ill Wind to find\\nout about one of Picard\\u2019s favorite hobbies, locate the areas of the\\n1701-D with the best sensor resolution, and ask why Troi is so\\nsleepy all the time.

In news we find out who will be writing the Data-centric follow\\nup to Cold Equations, learn why the books in the upcoming Seekers\\nseries suddenly have titles, check in on the full 2014 slate from\\nPocket Books, and get an update on IDW\\u2019s plans for John Byrne\\u2019s\\nphoto comic series.\\xa0
