136: Temporal Mechanics Chess Game - a podcast by Trek.fm

Ascendance: David R. George III.

The Deep Space Nine relaunch had been building to a showdown
with the Ascendants and The Soul Key left fans with a massive
cliffhanger but with Star Trek Destiny bringing all the crews
together, the Ascendants story line was dropped in order to align
the DS9 books with the rest of the 24th century. Fans have long
wondered what transpired with the Ascendants and how it spurred
major changes for many of the DS9 characters, luckily the answers
have finally arrived.

In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan
Gunther are joined by author David R. George III to talk his latest
Deep Space Nine book Ascendance. We discuss weaving the tapestry,
research, what to tell and what not to tell, prophesies, character
arcs, Sisko, faith and belief, working things in, what’s next and
where to find David online.

In the news segment we let everyone know that we are covering
The Good That Men Do next week.
