92: Good Thing Riker Doesn't Listen to Amy Winehouse John Jackson Miller:
Takedown.
Star Trek fans have been pitting captains against
each other since Picard came on the scene in 1987. The debate on
whether Kirk or Picard is better still rages on internet message
boards or any given weekend, in any city hosting a sci-fi
convention. But what if Picard went up against his protege, William
Riker, who would be the victor?
In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew
Rushing and Dan Gunther talk to John Jackson Miller about his first
full length Star Trek novel Takedown where Picard and Riker do go
head to head. We discuss John catching up with the continuity,
inspirations for the story, being concurrent with The Missing,
humor in the book, major spoilers as well as writing Admiral Riker
and Captain Dax.
In the news we talk about the new Almighty Flow Chart
on The Trek Collective as well as Gary Seven's upcoming appearance
in John Byrne's New Vision comics in issue, you guessed it,
seven.
