Happy 2024 Birthday to Judith Reeves-Stevens!


(no image available)

Happy birthday to Judith Reeves-Stevens!

Judith Evelyn Reeves-Stevens, together with her husband Garfield Reeves-Stevens, is one of Star Trek’s best-selling original book writers. Together, the Reeves-Stevens’ wrote or co-wrote five episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise’s fourth season. Being Star Trek: The Original Series fans, the couple had already written several fully licensed reference books on the subject of Star Trek previously, prior to becoming officially involved with the live-action franchise.

She, along with her husband, officially joined the production staff of an actual Star Trek production, Enterprise’s fourth season, at the insistence of producers Manny Coto and Michael Sussman, who needed writers imbued with a deep sense of original Star Trek lore to repair the perceived shortcomings original producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga had left. By the time the series concluded its third season, it arguably had become the most controversial of the television series, subject to inspired and vehement criticism of fans – and, as it turned out after-the-fact, by production staffers as well – for its perceived violations in established continuity. With both producers held responsible for the quick loss of viewer-ship, Paramount and UPN indicated its cancellation and the apparent end of Berman’s tenure as the overseer of Star Trek productions with the approach of the end of the third season. Though remaining credited, Berman and Braga were indeed essentially relegated to the role of figurehead by the franchise at the end of the third season, and their places were de facto filled for the last season by Coto and Sussman, under whose tenure much of the perceived continuity violations was redressed, aided by writers such as Judith and her husband, who, like them, had an equally thorough understanding of Star Trek lore. While the writer’s couple contributed to a season that, as a whole, was generally well received, it did not save the series, as its cancellation had already been decided upon.

Happy birthday to S.D. Perry!

Stephani Danielle Perry is the author of many Star Trek novels and short stories.

S.D. Perry was born in the early 1970s and began to write media tie ins and novelizations in the mid-1990s. Her favorite Star Trek series is the original series, with her favorite characters being “The Big Three” – Kirk, Spock and McCoy.

She began to watch Star Trek: Deep Space Nine during its fourth season. Several characters from DS9 are her favorite Star Trek characters, including Elim Garak, Quark and Weyoun. One of the reasons she likes Spock is for his “pure animal magnetism”.

Perry saw an early copy of Andrew Robinson’s novel A Stitch in Time, which focused on Garak. Perry described it as “total genius, seriously, and no ghost writer. He adds new dimension to a very unusual character”

Perry has also written several Xena: Warrior Princess, Aliens and Resident Evil novels.

She currently lives in Portland, Oregon, and is married.

From the pen of acclaimed Cyborg writer Morgan Hampton comes a new four-part miniseries spinning out of IDW’s Eisner-nominated Star Trek series and fan favorite Star Trek: Defiant series! In the aftermath of Kahless’ harrowing Day of Blood, Jake Sisko struggles to find his place in the universe now that his family has been reunited and his father, Benjamin Sisko, has once again saved the galaxy. Meanwhile, Alexander Rozhenko is recovering mentally and emotionally from his time as one of Kahless’ devout followers. Though his father, Worf, was able to break him away from the Red Path cult, Alexander is haunted by his actions during the bloody coup and is unsure of his ability to atone for the devastation he caused. Jake and Alexander find their stories intertwined as they’re thrust into an alternate universe where they followed their father’s footsteps into Starfleet stardom. As officers aboard the U.S.S. Avery, Jake and Alexander encounter alternate versions of other children of Starfleet legends who show them they all may have a bit more in common than it would seem.

“Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War” Review by Myconfinedspace.com

Myconfinedspace.com has added a new review for and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and ‘s “Star Trek: Tales of the Dominion War”:

I’m on a bit of a short stories journey right now, starting with an unrelated (except for DeCandido’s involvement as author & editor) Precinct series, now this one about various parts of the Domion War. The conflict was a huge part of the last two seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but they still didn’t tell even a small portion of the possible stories of what the various crews were up to, the situation on Earth, or even on the allied planets. This collection does some justice for those elements and without exception are great stories that honestly could have been fleshed out into full length novels.

In today’s episode, a busted gadget brings the X-Men back to the 24th century, though you probably weren’t around for the first episode. Nevertheless, here they are, arriving just in time to render aid to a planet that’s starting to go through its own mutant growing pains. Which X-Person’s fault is it that they’re stranded here? Will it ever not be weird for Data to smile? And how much bridge conversation is pointless small talk? All this and more in Planet X, the book that’s selling the cure, but no one’s buying.
