The third of four new Star Trek short films, dubbed Short Treks, has arrived: “The Brightest Star.” This short story presents a concise version of the origin of Saru, the Discovery’s Kelpian science officer played by the phenomenally-talented Doug Jones. The stor
News Around the Net! UPDATED with Avengers 4 Trailer!
UPDATE: The first trailer for Avengers 4 has finally dropped! First off: the title. Endgame. That’s… OK. Not a bad title, but it’s a bit generic. I think the phrase “endgame” is a bit overused in genre circles, and Dr. Strange’s line in Infi
Star Trek: Assignment: Eternity
After reading several recent Star Trek novels that played with the history of the Star Trek universe, and that involved Gary Seven and the mysterious Aegis agency for which he worked, I decided to go back to an earlier Star Trek novel that focused on the enigmatic Mr. Seven, Greg Cox&

Star Trek: Elusive Salvation
I loved Dayton Ward’s 2013 Star Trek novel From History’s Shadow. That novel took several characters and references from across the many different Star Trek series to aliens having been on Earth in the years between 1947 and 1968 and wove them together into a wonderful s
Star Trek: From History’s Shadow
