Kevin Dilmore\\nand Dayton Ward: Seekers 2: Point of\\nDivergence.

\\n

The writing trio of David Mack, Kevin Dilmore, and\\nDayton Ward brought us some of the most memorable 23rd-century\\nadventures with their\\xa0Vanguard\\xa0series. While the\\nstory of Starbase 47 has concluded, the exploratory missions of\\nthe\\xa0Endeavour\\xa0and\\nthe\\xa0Sagittarius\\xa0continue on in the new\\nseries\\xa0Star Trek: Seekers. Capturing the fun and\\nwonder of\\xa0The Original Series\\xa0with a modern\\nsensibility,\\xa0Seekers\\xa0returns readers to the\\nstrange new worlds that made Star Trek so popular from the\\nstart.

\\n

In this episode of\\xa0Literary\\nTreks\\xa0we\'re joined by Kevin and Dayton, the duo behind\\nthe second book, to learn more about\\nthe\\xa0Endeavour\\xa0and how its crew and role differ\\nfrom what we saw in\\xa0Vanguard. We also learn how the\\ntwo writers met and began working together, why Kang is their\\nchoice of Klingon, the future role of the\\xa0Shedai metagenome\\nand other\\xa0Vanguard\\xa0elements\\nin\\xa0Seekers, and much more.

\\n

In our news segment we find out how John Byrne may be\\nbringing back Gary Seven, judge volume three of the Gold Key\\nArchives by its cover, and review part three of\\xa0The Q\\nGambit.
