Star Trek: The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold is a two-novel duology, written by Keith R.A. DeCandido, back in 2002. Mr. DeCandido is one of my favorite authors of Star Trek novels (I’m sad that he no longer writes Trek books!!), and this story is an incredibly fun cross-over story that spans what at t
