“Star Trek: Discovery: The Way To The Stars” Review by Akotsko.substack.com
Akotsko.substack.com has added a new review for Una McCormack‘s “Star Trek: Discovery: The Way To The Stars”:
My main travel reading for our trip to Mexico City was the tail end of the A Time To… series. On the flight home, though, I finished more quickly than anticipated and was thrown back on the resources of the random assortment of Star Trek novels that my Kindle had seen fit to download. I let My Esteemed Partner make the selection, and she chose Una McCormack’s Discovery: The Way to the Stars, which might be more accurately entitled The Tilly Novel. I found it to be an unexpected pleasure.

DTI Comic Book Investigation for the week of June 12, 2025
Here are all the comics printed this week in years past.
Out Today: “It Rhymes With Takei”
Out today: “It Rhymes With Takei“, by George Takei.
Following the award-winning bestseller They Called Us Enemy, George Takei’s new full-color graphic memoir reveals his most personal story of all—told in full for the first time anywhere!
George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing—one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared… and it rhymes with Takei.
Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger, now joined by the award-winning colorist José Villarrubia, for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the paralyzing fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes With Takei presents a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history.
Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes With Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly—and legally—before the whole world.
Looking back on his own astonishing life on both sides of the closet, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid witness to how far America has come… and how precious that progress is. — a 328-page, full-color, HARDCOVER graphic novel with 3″ French flaps, 6.5″ x 9″

It’s not Shaxs’ worst day. It’s fascism’s. Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he’s about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist.

“Star Trek: Red Shirts #1” Review by Comicon.com
Comicon.com has added a new review for Christopher Cantwell‘s “Star Trek: Red Shirts #1”:
A limited series that centers on characters with half-lives that can be measured in minutes, is a challenge. Unfortunately this premiere issue doesn’t live up to its premise, largely because it’s difficult to connect with these security officers who may not live long enough to see the next issue.

“Star Trek: Dark Victory” Review by Themindreels.com
Themindreels.com has added a new review for Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Judith Reeves-Stevens and William Shatner‘s “Star Trek: Dark Victory”:
Shatner continues his mirror universe trilogy, with Dark Victory. It seems not only has Captain James T. Kirk survived into the 24th century, so has his mirror universe counterpart, Emperor Tiberius. And they are on a collision course.

New Star Trek Book: “Outside In Can Live With It”
Outside In Can Live With It by has been added to the Star Trek Book Club!
Put ten DS9 fans in a room, and you’ll wind up with eleven opinions, fourteen heated debates about the ethics of the Dominion War and somebody cosplaying Odo shapeshifting into Quark. That’s because DS9 fans are gloriously weird, uniquely different and sometimes entirely outlandish. And so is this book.
Celebrating over 30 years of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, OUTSIDE IN CAN LIVE WITH IT is a collection of 171 brand new reviews, one for every episode of DS9. Well, we say “reviews”, but we mean that loosely: within these pages, you’ll find game reviews, lesson plans, quizzes, fashion blogs, redacted articles, gossip columns, wine labels, exit interviews, parables and even a talk show. Not to mention insightful and thoughtful articles, examining DS9 from just about every aspect imaginable… and then some!
Provocative, engrossing, hilarious and utterly gonzo. This is OUTSIDE IN.
Featuring contributions from Derek Tyler Attico, Maggie Bandur, Diana Dru Botsford, Kelli Fitzpatrick, Talia Franks, David R. George III, Janet Hetherington, Susanne Lambdin, David A. McIntee, Jill Sherwin, and 161 more!
The book is currently scheduled to be published on January 1, 1970

Happy 2025 Birthday to Diane Duane!
(Photo by by Basilicofresco)
Happy birthday to Diane Duane!
Diane Elizabeth Duane is the author of numerous Star Trek novels, including The Wounded Sky, Doctor’s Orders and Spock’s World (Pocket TOS), Dark Mirror and Intellivore (Pocket TNG), and the Rihannsu series – My Enemy, My Ally, The Romulan Way, Swordhunt, Honor Blade, and The Empty Chair. She also created a Romulan language for the Rihannsu novels.
Duane is the co-writer of TNG: “Where No One Has Gone Before”, which was loosely based on The Wounded Sky.
Trek comics she has written include “Double Blind, Part One” and “Double Blind, Part II”, “The Last Word”, and the Star Trek: The Next Generation – Ill Wind mini-series.
Diane Duane has worked with Star Trek in perhaps the most forms of anyone alive. Besides comics, novels and TV, she has adapted her own work for audio, has written for the Star Trek manga series by Tokyopop, has written short Trek fiction for anthologies, and plotted and wrote the first Star Trek computer game, Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative.
Duane has also written more than thirty non-Trek books; among these she is probably best known for the Young Wizards series, which is currently in its eighth volume. Other books include the “Feline Wizardry Sequence” and the Door… series. She makes a habit of including Star Trek references in her non-Trek books.
Born in New York City, Duane now lives in County Wicklow, Ireland with her husband Peter Morwood, who has collaborated with her on several books and also on some film and television projects.
A character in “Debt of Honor”, a comic from DC, was named for Diane Duane – a Diane Morwood was the third-in-command of the engineering section of the USS Farragut, and a colleague of Lieutenant James T. Kirk, in 2254.

Out today: “Star Trek: Lower Decks #7“, by Tim Sheridan.
There’s nothing quite like a mother-daughter relationship. There’s also nothing quite like finding out your monolith of a captain used to be a carefree ensign who accidentally vanished her whole crew in an experiment gone wrong. Lucky for Beckett Mariner, she gets to soak up both experiences all on the same day as her mother, Captain Freeman, regales her with a throwback tale of how she was “just like you when she was young,” and “mistakes help us grow, blah, blah.” Meanwhile, all Mariner wants to know is how could Freeman let Pulaski get away with hair like that?
