Over a Torrent Sea.
In the aftermath of the devastating events of the Destiny trilogy,
the Starship Titan is once again assigned to deep space exploration
beyond the farthest borders of the Federation. Investigating an
oceanic world of abundant and mysterious life, the crew unwittingly
causes distress to the ecosystem and to the lives of the
inhabitants of the world, nicknamed Droplet. Now, Captain Riker and
Ensign Lavena, cut off from the rest of the crew, must convince
their captors of their sincere desire to help the people of Droplet
before the damage becomes irreparable.
In their final episode as hosts of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the Star Trek: Titan novel Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett. They talk about Titan's new mission, the Squales of Droplet, Ensign Aili Lavena and her past, a difficult maternal situation for Deanna Troi, the unintended consequences of the crew's decisions, atonement for past mistakes, and wrap up with their final thoughts and ratings.
At the top of the show, Bruce and Dan review the first issue in
IDW's new Deep Space Nine miniseries, Too Long a Sacrifice.
