Greg Cox: No Time Like\\nthe Past.

\\n

Star Trek characters from different eras meeting is nothing new.\\nPicard met Spock. Scotty met Geordi. Julian met a stunning\\n23rd-century lieutenant that made him think he might be his own\\ngreat-grandfather. But two characters we never thought would cross\\npaths are Captain James T. Kirk and Seven of Nine. Yet that\'s\\nexactly what happens in Greg Cox\'s new book No Time Like the Past.\\nPresenting herself as Annika Seven, Voyager\'s former Borg drone\\nfinds herself in the presence of the man she\'s come to know as a\\nlegend through the tales of her own captain. But don\'t worry\\u2026 the\\nstory doesn\'t follow the path you might first think.

In this episode of Literary Treks we\'re joined by Greg Cox to\\ndiscuss No Time Like the Past, what it was like writing Seven for\\nthe first time, blending the flavors of The Original Series and\\nVoyager, and the steps that Annika must take to never use the B\\nword\\u2014BORG.
