In this novel, our favorite gruff, no nonsense, good ol’ country doctor returns. That’s right – Dr. Katherine Pulaski is back!
Dulmer and Lucsly are back and with them are more of their friends from the Department of Temporal Investigations. Including one from several hundred years in the future. But can the DTI hold a story all their own without other familiar Star Trek faces?
Picard and Garak on the cover? The Enterprise-D docked at Deep Space 9, er, Terok Nor too?! Oh, this is going to be gooood! [Spoiler Alert: It. Is. Great!]
Dr. Julian Bashir is turning out to be a lot like Jack Bauer. Being a hero time and again but getting damned for his efforts. I mean, Bashir essentially committed treason, but we should be able to look past a little thing like that, right? Section 31 can!

Could it have anything to do with the fact that they decided to get married in one book and they were magically already married in the next one? Well this novella tells us the real story of their wedding. And it wouldn’t be a story about Picard’s personal life without Q!
Vulcan Love Slave IV, anyone? Just leave it to Quark to get you the latest and greatest installment!

And while Tom Paris returns to Earth with Seven of Nine, each to deal with personal matters, Admiral Janeway takes command of the Full Circle Fleet to open diplomatic relations with the Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant. But the Confederacy has pissed off a lot of other races – many of which Janeway and Voyager have pissed off in the past…
I never thought I’d be a person who enjoyed coffee table books, but I’m starting to build up quite a collection. Some are better than others, but Titan Books is on kind of a roll with their Star Trek coffee table books.

If that looks like Data in Dr. Soong’s body on the cover of the book, that’s because it is. And Lal too?! What is this? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s Star Trek storytelling at its finest. If you’re looking for Easter eggs, callbacks, and fan favorite characters, look no further! It’s The Light Fantastic, where even the holographic tea smells amazing and the light is oh so fantastic!
