Serpents In the\\nGarden.

In the classic episode "A Private Little War," Captain Kirk took\\nit upon himself to balance the power between two factions on a\\nprimitive world when it is discovered that the Klingons are backing\\none side. It was a story that demanded a follow-up, but one never\\ncame. Until now. In his new novel Serpents In the Garden, Jeff\\nMariotte puts now-Admiral Kirk back into battle on Neural when it\\nis learned that the Klingons may once more be interfering in the\\nplanet\'s affairs. Taking matters into his own hands yet again, Kirk\\nembarks on a secret mission to expose the Klingons while trying to\\nminimize the damage that he may have caused decades earlier.

In this episode of Literary Treks we\'re joined by Dan Gunther of\\nTrek Lit Reviews to discuss the book, the use of red shirts, an\\ninvicible Kirk, and a more mugatos than you can shake a fire stick\\nat. We also explore the naivity of intervention and how the story\\nboth succeeds and fails depending on how you approach it.

In our news segment we share initial thoughts on IDW\'s graphic\\nadaptation of Harlan Ellison\'s original script for "The City On the\\nEdge of Forever," learn about Highscore Music\'s upcoming German\\naudio drama adaptation of Death In Winter, and take a peek at IDW\'s\\nSeptember Star Trek comics lineup.\\xa0
