Her first order of business is to open\\ndiplomatic negotiations with The\\xa0Confederacy of the Worlds of\\nthe First Quadrant, a potential ally for the Federation in the\\nDelta Quadrant. At the same time, Seven is back on Earth to assist\\nStarfleet Medical with the catomic plague while Tom Paris is\\nengaged in the fight of his life as his mother questions his\\nfitness to be a father.
\\n
\\nIn this episode of\\xa0Literary Treks,\\xa0author\\nKirsten Beyer joins\\xa0hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher\\nJones\\xa0to discuss her latest book,\\xa0Acts of\\nContrition, including the social issues represented\\nin\\xa0The\\xa0Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant,\\nthe liberation of Tom Paris as a character, and Seven\'s continued\\njourney to adulthood. Plus, Kirsten teases what is to come in the\\nfinal installment,\\xa0Atonement.
