The premature cancellation of Enterprise left fans in the dark
about two key events in Star Trek history. The first was the
Romulan War, which has since had light shone upon it by Michael A.
Martin. The second is the founding of the Federation, a pivotal
time that we still know almost nothing about. Until now that is. In
this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and
Christopher Jones dive into the first book in Christopher L.
Bennett's Rise of the Federation series, A Choice of Futures. We
explore the early struggles faced by the Humans, Vulcans,
Andorians, and Tellarites as they work to establish the United
Federation of Planets, the combined Starfleet, and the very
identity of what these organizations will be. The challenges are
many as external threats work to undermine the fledgling union,
incompatible technologies are pushed together, internal political
debates rage, and old rivalries linger. Even Section 31 gets in on
the act as our old friend Trip Tucker continues down a path far
from the one he once shared with Archer.

In our news segment we take a first look at Kirsten Beyer's Voyager
novel Protectors, Greg Cox's TOS-Voyager crossover tale No Time
Like The Past, and get a quick peek at the next installment of Rise
of the Federation, Tower of Babel.
