{4.5\/5} “Oh, for — Gariff, stand up and open your eyes. If it’ll make you feel better, I promise to wipe your memory before I send you back. But right now I may need you. This isn’t the right timeline.”<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations — The Collectors<\/strong> by Christopher L. Bennett, published in 2014<\/p>\n Gariff Lucsly and Marion Dulmur, agents of the DTI, retrieve an obelisk that has time travel properties. They take it to their top secret vault, where Jena Noi drops by — they’ve met her before, and she’s an agent from the future. She says she would like to take the obelisk with her, but then the obelisk does something — and the 3 of them are whisked off to an alternate future.<\/p>\n The Department of Temporal Investigations<\/strong> series consists of 2 novels and 3 short stories, all by Bennett. I’ve read the novels and now I’m reading the stories.<\/p>\n This short story is only available as an ebook.<\/p>\n Although the stakes are high, it’s a fun story. The story has a grand scale to it, and characters that have vastly different ideas about how to deal with time.<\/p>\n I previously reviewed Bennett’s Star Trek: The Face of the Unknown<\/strong><\/a>. The last DTI<\/strong> book I read was Star Trek DTI: Forgotten History<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Oh, for — Gariff, stand up and open your eyes.
