John Jackson Miller: Die Standing.
Philippa Georgiou, former Emperor of the Terran Empire in the
Mirror Universe, has found herself in our universe and under the
watchful eye of Section 31. Believing that she has knowledge and
skills useful to the organization, she is recruited to take on a
mission into a mysterious region of space known as the Troika.
However, she has her own agenda. Will Georgiou make good on her
desire to rebuild all she has lost in our universe?
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson are joined once again by New York Times bestselling author John Jackson Miller to talk about his most recent Discovery novel, Die Standing. We talk about Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centarius, Section 31, a familiar face from The Original Series, a Trill gymnast named Emony Dax, a vampiric cloud creature, the mysterious Troika and the three species that comprise it, and wrap up with what John is working on now and where he can be found online.
At the top of the show, Dan and Bruce review issue #12 of Star
Trek: Year Five, and respond to listener feedback from The Babel
Conference for Literary Treks 306: There's Shag Carpet on This Ship
Somewhere.
