Peter David: The Returned 

There are very few authors out there that can say they have
worked for Dc Comics, Marvel and Dark Horse Comics and have written
almost every major comic book character at some point in their
career and to top it all off have gotten to play in the Star Trek
universe, creating completely new characters and working with the
established to build his own Trek playground.

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan
Gunther welcome Peter David to talk about The Returned series. We
discuss his favorite working experiences and characters, the
genesis of New Frontier, creating original characters, the tone of
New Frontier, The Returned, writing Calhoun, The return of Q, The
Dayan, what’s next for New Frontier, where to find Peter online and
our final thoughts.    

In the news segment we talk about New Visions #8 as well are the
release of the new James T. Kirk book.
