Romulans: The\\nHollow Crown.

\\n

In Alien Spotlight: Romulans, John Byrne explored the\\naftermath of the events seen in the TOS episode "Balance of\\nTerror." It was an interesting take, but it left us wanting more.\\nLater that year (2008), Byrne expanded the tale with The Hollow\\nCrown. This two-parter continues the story of the Klingon-Romulan\\nalliance, which explains, among other things, why Klingon ship\\ndesigns are used by Romulans later in The Original Series. But this\\nisn\'t all that\'s covered and political intrigue runs rampant.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew\\nRushing and Christopher Jones discuss The Hollow Crown, how the\\nKlingons take an uncharacteristic approach to achieve their goals,\\nwhy it may be an insult on Romulus to be called a son of a friend,\\nand why Byrne\'s story is amongst the best you\'ll find in Star Trek\\ncomics.

\\n

In our news segment we judge Greg Cox\'s Foul Deeds\\nWill Rise by its cover, find out about a campaign to get the\\nBritish Star Trek newspaper strips restored, field a listener\\nquestion about the DS9 relaunch series and Unity, and help Chris\\nrecover from Slings and Arrows Amnesia.
