38: Beyond the ApocalypseUna McCormack: The
Crimson Shadow.
Over the past decade the prime universe has grown richly complex
as print adventures have taken over where television left off. Now,
in a new five-book series titled "The Fall," some of Star Trek's
greatest authors are going to rock the Federation to its core with
an adventure that takes place over a period of sixty days and
involves TNG, DS9, and Titan. In this episode of Literary Treks
hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones continue our series of
interviews with the authors of The Fall as Una McCormack joins us
to talk about her entry in the series, The Crimson Shadow. As the
second book in The Fall, The Crimson Shadow continues the overall
story but also brings together two fan favorites—Picard and
Garak—to further the story of a post-war Cardassia. Una talks to us
about the genesis of her novel, the political undertones, and what
she wanted to accomplish in writing Picard and Garak. In news we
steer clear of a super-spoilery blurb for Peaceable Kingdoms,
preview Star Trek Ongoing #29 and Khan #4, and bring you our review
of the second installment in The Khitomer Conflict.
