DISCO BONUS #1 - Star Trek Discovery: Desperate Hours by David Mack (with Barm)
Mar 27, 2018
Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is BACK! Remember Star Trek: Discovery? It’s back. In book form. Jack roped old friend and most frequent guest Barm into reading the first Discovery novel, David Mack’s Desperate Hours, and they’re here to report to all you Discoverinos with their findings. Despite the title, Discovery is nowhere to be found here, as David Mack brings us to a point a year before the show where the USS Shenzhou finds itself assigned to a joint mission with none other than the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Pike and crew. In the midst of our lively discussion about the many merits and several flaws of this entertaining read, we’ll touch upon Barm’s history with the 2001 “franchise”, David Mack’s valiant yet silly efforts to make Discovery fit better into Star Trek continuity (which Carlos has thoughts on), how the book has made us reevaluate our feelings on how season one played out, and our history with Star Trek books in general! We’re back, and now so is your will to live!
