78: The Numbers On the Front Should Help - a podcast by Trek.fm

Kevin Dilmore
and Dayton Ward: Seekers 2: Point of
Divergence.

The writing trio of David Mack, Kevin Dilmore, and
Dayton Ward brought us some of the most memorable 23rd-century
adventures with their Vanguard series. While the
story of Starbase 47 has concluded, the exploratory missions of
the Endeavour and
the Sagittarius continue on in the new
series Star Trek: Seekers. Capturing the fun and
wonder of The Original Series with a modern
sensibility, Seekers returns readers to the
strange new worlds that made Star Trek so popular from the
start.

In this episode of Literary
Treks we're joined by Kevin and Dayton, the duo behind
the second book, to learn more about
the Endeavour and how its crew and role differ
from what we saw in Vanguard. We also learn how the
two writers met and began working together, why Kang is their
choice of Klingon, the future role of the Shedai metagenome
and other Vanguard elements
in Seekers, and much more.

In our news segment we find out how John Byrne may be
bringing back Gary Seven, judge volume three of the Gold Key
Archives by its cover, and review part three of The Q
Gambit.
