Official synopsis:

With Spock rotting in a Romulan cell aboard Sela's ship, the rest of the Defiant crew readies the farmers of Antara for an invasion by General Revo and his relentless Romulan army. This leaves Worf, B'Elanna, and Ro with two crewmates down, and despite how hopeful the planet's population is, what are three failed Starfleet officers and lowly resistance fighters to a heavily armed and technologically advanced Romulan strike team?

Positively Trek 281: Book Club: Martha Landon Does Do a Judo Flip

Star Trek: The Original Series: Lost to Eternity - Exclusive Interview with Greg Cox!

In 1986, Dr. Gillian Taylor of the Cetacean Institute in Sausalito, California, seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth. In 2024, a true crime podcaster tries to get to the bottom of the nearly 40 year-old cold case. In 2268, a missing scientist threatens to spark open war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. And in 2292, three galactic powers vie for the favor of the advanced and ancient Osori civilization. What do these events all have in common? And how will they help solve the longest missing-persons case in the history of Star Trek?

In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, Dan Gunther is joined by guest host Chrissie De Clerck-Szilagyi in welcoming author Greg Cox to the show to discuss his latest novel: Star Trek: The Original Series: Lost to Eternity.

Star Trek takes a spooky turn in this week's omnibus release: Star Trek: Holo-ween is the latest trade paperback from IDW, collecting all four issues of the October 2023 miniseries.

Check out the back cover blurb below, along with links to purchase the trade paperback and e-book editions from Amazon!

Publisher's description:

Horrors from Starfleet’s past are back with a vengeance in this miniseries. To save the ship, Picard and crew will have to become monsters themselves!

The evil Redjac presence—a.k.a. Jack the Ripper from the Star Trek episode “Wolf in the Fold”—has returned. And this time it has a new terrifying tool at its disposal: the holodeck. As Redjac seizes control of Picard’s Enterprise and spreads holographic horror, the only way for the crew to resist insanity is to become one with their fears. Ship counselor Commander Deanna Troi concocts a daring plan for an away team to become hypnotized holodeck-incarnations of timeless horror monsters, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, and others. Once they infiltrate the illusions, they can fight fear with fear. However, will they be able to defeat Redjac and break their hypnosis before their minds are permanently altered? Or will the crew be stuck as movie monsters forever?
