Slings and Arrows: The\\nOppressor\\u2019s Wrong.

In 2007 Pocket Books decided to honor the 20th anniversary of\\nStar Trek: The Next Generation with a six-part eBook series that\\nbridged the gap between the destruction of the Enterprise-D in\\nGenerations and the next time we saw the crew on the big screen in\\nFirst Contact. Penned by J. Steven York, Christina F. York, Phaedra\\nM. Weldon, William Leisner, Terri Osborne, Robert Greenberger, and\\nKeith R.A. DeCandido, these novellas tell the story of the\\nEnterprise-E\\u2019s shakedown cruise.

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones discuss the second book in the Slings and Arrows\\nseries, The Oppressor\\u2019s Wrong, which adds to the DS9 episodes\\n\\u201cHomefront\\u201d and \\u201cParadise Lost\\u201d by shedding light on what was\\nhappening aboard the Enterprise-E during those events. As it turns\\nout, Admiral Leyton\\u2019s plans for a coup d\\u2019\\xe9tat extended far beyond\\nEarth and involved treachery worthy of a four-star badmiral.
