Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series:
Deep Space Nine and Voyager 1993-1999
by Tom Salinsky

Out today in the US is an exploration of 90s Star Trek by author Tom Salinsky.

Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series: Deep Space Nine and Voyager 1993-1999 is the personal exploration of these television series by a man who asked himself how well he knew Star Trek, and realized he had a lot to learn. This book is a follow-up to his previous book, Star Trek: Discovering the TV Series: The Original Series, The Animated Series and The Next Generation.

Check out the back-cover blurb and links to purchase from Amazon below.

Publisher's description:

Join a two-year mission through Star Trek's highs, lows, and behind-the-scenes revelations from Deep Space Nine to Voyager.

How well do you know Star Trek?

Lifelong science fiction fan, podcaster and author Tom Salinsky decided that the answer was “not well enough”, and so at the beginning of 2022, he embarked on a two-year mission to watch everything from the start of The Original Series to the end of Enterprise, at the rate of one episode per day. This book is the second part of that odyssey, covering Deep Space Nine, and the first two seasons of Voyager plus the first two Next Generation movies.

As well as having fun saluting the show’s triumphs, cringing at its lapses in taste, and admiring its willingness to swing for the fences, there’s lots of fascinating behind-the-scenes information here. Was Morn really such a chatterbox? Why was Deep Space Nine allowed to do so much serialisation? Did Star Trek need Michael Dorn more than Michael Dorn needed Star Trek? Just whatever happened to Geneviève Bujold? How is Nicholas Locarno related to Tom Paris?

But you’ll also get the benefit of a complete overview of these hugely successful and beloved spin-offs, which expanded and extended the Star Trek universe to new quadrants, new eras and new modes of storytelling. Plus there are contributions from notable fans, writers, authors and experts, giving their own perspectives on these classic episodes.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or just someone interested in the history of television, you’ll adore coming on this daily journey though the highs and lows of one of the most significant and much-loved media properties in the world.

Official synopsis:

From the team who brought you the Ringo- and Eisner-nominated Shaxs’ Best Day comes a rip-roaring ride full of clever ship high jinks, nonstop badassery, and bombastic punches…because at the end of the day, let’s face it. It’s not Shaxs’ worst day. It’s fascism’s. Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he’s about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist. Now free of Lore’s hold over his mind, it’s up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.

Publisher's description:

Connecting with the voyages of the ongoing Star Trek comic series, Defiant ventures into the dark side of the cosmos!

Original Star Trek: Defiant writer-artist duo Christopher Cantwell and Ángel Unzueta delve into the sci-fi horror genre in arc four of the fan-favorite series!

It's the beginning of a new era for the disavowed, mercenary crew of the U.S.S. Defiant! Political corruption ensues as Sela and her father, General Revo, leverage the imprisoned Defiant crewmates to kidnap the Romulan praetor and chairman of Tal Shiar Intelligence to advance their sinister plot to take over Romulus…

This leaves Worf, B’Elanna, and Ro with two crewmates down, and a planet on the brink of Romulan invasion. Despite how hopeful the planet’s meager farming population is, what are three failed Starfleet officers and lowly resistance fighters to a heavily armed and technologically advanced Romulan strike team?

Mariner believes her mother just doesn't get what being a lower decker is all about.

Official synopsis:

There's nothing quite like a mother-daughter relationship. There's also nothing quite like finding out your monolith of a captain used to be a carefree ensign who accidentally vanished her whole crew in an experiment gone wrong. Lucky for Beckett Mariner, she gets to soak up both experiences all on the same day as her mother, Captain Freeman, regales her with a throwback tale of how she was "just like you when she was young," and "mistakes help us grow, blah, blah." Meanwhile, all Mariner wants to know is how could Freeman let Pulaski get away with hair like that?
