John Jackson Miller:\\nTakedown.

\\n

Star Trek fans have been pitting captains against\\neach other since Picard came on the scene in 1987. The debate on\\nwhether Kirk or Picard is better still rages on internet message\\nboards or any given weekend, in any city hosting a sci-fi\\nconvention. But what if Picard went up against his protege, William\\nRiker, who would be the victor?

\\n

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew\\nRushing and Dan Gunther talk to John Jackson Miller about his first\\nfull length Star Trek novel Takedown where Picard and Riker do go\\nhead to head. We discuss John catching up with the continuity,\\ninspirations for the story, being concurrent with The Missing,\\nhumor in the book, major spoilers as well as writing Admiral Riker\\nand Captain Dax.

\\n

In the news we talk about the new Almighty Flow Chart\\non The Trek Collective as well as Gary Seven\'s upcoming appearance\\nin John Byrne\'s New Vision comics in issue, you guessed it,\\nseven.\\xa0
