When it comes to Star Trek books, few fans consider them canon.\\nIt\\u2019s understandable, especially with novels written during the run\\nof a series on television. But sometimes a book comes along that\\nalmost has to be taken as canon because of who wrote it. During\\nVoyager\\u2019s third season, series co-creator Jeri Taylor penned the\\nback story of Captain Janeway in Mosaic. As the creator of the\\ncharacter, no one was more qualified to tell us how Kathryn went\\nfrom a child in Bloomington, Indiana, to captain of a starship lost\\nin the Delta Quadrant.

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones are joined by Charlynn Schmiedt of To The Journey\\nto discuss Mosaic, the portrayal of Janeway as a child, student,\\nand young woman, what drives her to help the Ocampa and protect her\\ncrew at all costs, and, of course, Jeri Taylor\\u2019s obsession with\\nhair.

\\n

In our news segment we take a look at new blurbs for Sacraments\\nof Fire and Seekers 3, and we judge John Jackson Miller\\u2019s Takedown\\nby its cover.
