Lost\\nApollo.

With the five-year mission finally underway, IDW\'s Star Trek\\nOngoing comics are set to deliver strange new worlds that harken\\nback to the true flavor of The Original Series. Lost Apollo tells\\nthe story of an American astronaut from NASA\'s Apollo program who\\nthe Enterprise crew discovers on an alien world nearly 300 years\\nafter he lifted off from the moon. (Yes, from the moon\\u2026 turns out\\nNASA was up to more than the public knew.)

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones take you through the two-parter, penned by Mike\\nJohnson with art by Erfan Fajar, and discuss how it captures the\\nspirit of the original television series so well that it can almost\\nbe read as part of the Prime Universe, not just the Abramsverse. We\\nalso share our thoughts on the story, imagine the tourism campaign\\nfor this distant and colorful world, and try to avoid the details\\nof what Captain Kirk and Carol Marcus are doing in the decon\\nchamber.

In our news segment we run down the 2015 Star Trek books release\\nschedule, ponder why we aren\'t getting more dedicated Deep Space\\nNine novels, and take a sneak peak at Fun with Kirk and Spock.
