\\nFrom Terok Nor to the Myriad Universe, from the bridge of the Titan\\nto the aftermath of The Undiscovered Country, author James Swallow\\nhas played in many corners of the Star Trek universe. In this\\nepisode of Literary Treks we\'re joined by James to discuss what\\nit\'s like to tell stories from the lost era of Deep Space Nine, why\\nit\'s difficult to write Picard, what it takes to redeem Valeris,\\nand many more topics from across Star Trek literature.

\\n

\\nIn our news segment we look at the five books that will make up the\\nnew miniseries "The Fall," Tony Daniel\'s TOS novel Devil\'s Bargain,\\nWilliam Leisner\'s The Shocks of Adversity, the sticker book Stuck\\nOn Star Trek, some of the first interior views of The Star Trek\\nVisual Dictionary, Countdown to Darkness #3, Star Trek Ongoing #19,\\nand the Ongoing Volume 4 compendium. We also lament the lack of\\nStar Trek audiobooks at a time when the spoken format is more\\npopular than ever.
