Slings and Arrows: A Weary\\nLife.

\\n

The TNG episode Second Chances gave us a duplicate of\\nWilliam Riker and the DS9 episode Defiant left that duplicate, Tom\\nin a Cardassian prison. What we never got a chance to see was the\\neffect all of these things had on Will until the Slings and Arrows\'\\nentry, A Weary Life.\\xa0

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts\\xa0Matthew\\nRushing and Dan Gunther talk about this penultimate book in the\\nSlings and Arrows ebook series. We ask the question of where Tom\\nis, discuss the trio of Riker, LaForge and Daniels, the genuine\\nemotion of Riker, the news media and Maquis problem as well as our\\nratings.\\xa0

\\n

In our news segment we remind everyone Takedown by\\nJohn Jackson Miller is out, discuss the Axanar announcement of an\\nanthology collection that\'s on the way, as well as celebrate 20\\nyears of Star Trek Voyager by discussing our favorite Voyager\\nbooks.\\xa0
