Death in Winter.
Following the film Star Trek Nemesis, novels in the Star Trek
literary universe were given more of a free reign to play with the
familiar characters and situations, creating what has been termed
the "novelverse." Without any more televised or filmed adventures
for the crew of the Enterprise-E on the horizon, authors could take
the story in new and exciting directions. One of these directions
involved the culmination of the "will they/won't they" romance of
Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher, as well as a new source of
turmoil for the Romulan Empire.
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson discuss Death in Winter. We talk about Beverly's transfer off the Enterprise, the state of the Romulan Star Empire, an undercover mission into Romulan space, Worf and Geordi's role in the story, the love between Picard and Crusher, and wrap up with our final thoughts and ratings.
At the top of the show, we discuss your feedback from the Babel Conference on Literary Treks 258: Inaccurate Operas Will Be Performed of This Day!
