Star Trek Destiny: Lost Souls
{5/5} “Keru wished that he and Torvig had access to Titan’s main computer and sensor module. He asked, ‘If the planet wasn’t covered up, how detectable would those particles be?’ ‘To anyone with the ability to scan that frequency, they would be the brightest energy source in the galaxy.’” Star Trek Destiny: Lost Souls by […]
Star Trek Destiny: Mere Mortals
{4.5/5} “Shostakova slammed her palms flat on the tabletop. ‘I don’t care, Seven,’ she said. ‘Thalaron weapons are an abomination, which is why we signed a treaty outlawing them. The Federation won’t endorse the use of genocidal tactics.’ ‘Then I cannot help you,’ Seven said, ‘because the Borg have no such reservations — and they […]
Star Trek Destiny: Gods of Night
{4.5/5} “Transphasic warheads were quickly proving to be the best defense against the renewed Borg onslaught. The admiralty, however, remained concerned that the Borg would eventually adapt to this seemingly unstoppable weapon, thereby robbing Starfleet of its last effective defense.

Star Trek: The IDIC Epidemic
{4.5/5} “Sarek pulled up a chair beside the bed. Spock started to do the same, when he suddenly realized — ‘Doctor, I must be isolated. You saw the reports from Nisus. IU have both Vulcan and Human blood: even now, my body may be spawning some even deadlier form of the disease, one that could […]
Star Trek: Identity Theft

Star Trek: The Janus Gate — Past Prologue
{4.5/5} “‘Then I presume you understand why I cannot allow you to consult with us now.’ Spock lifted an eyebrow at the questioning looks the older men gave him. ‘Logically, neither you nor Captain Sulu may be considered to be allies in any attempt we make to repair the timeline that is keeping you alive.’” […]
Star Trek: The Janus Gate — Future Imperfect
{4.5/5} “The shock of hearing that he was already dead on this planet, in this time, had hit him with unexpected force. It wasn’t dismay or disbelief that made Sulu’s breath catch in his suddenly dry throat. It was the horror of realizing that the immense explosion he had been flung into was his own […]
Star Trek: The Janus Gate — Present Tense
{4.5/5} “He made the missing map seem like a minor inconvenience, a problem they could rectify with just a little hard work. And Captain Kirk’s gift for command, Uhura thought, was that he brought out so much of the best in his crew that he really could turn catastrophes like this into minor inconveniences. She […]
Star Trek: TNG — Diplomatic Implausibility
{4.5/5} “But you — you make us all look like we lead dull lives. Your ship’s destroyed by the Jem’Hadar, you’re captured by the Breen, tortured by the Cardassians, rescued by Cardassia’s biggest folk hero, and then for good measure you kill the Klingon chancellor and appoint his replacement, help win the worst war of […]
