Kirsten Beyer: Acts of Contrition.
When we last left the Full Circle Fleet, Admiral Janeway had
just assumed control. Her first order of business is to open
diplomatic negotiations with The Confederacy of the Worlds of
the First Quadrant, a potential ally for the Federation in the
Delta Quadrant. At the same time, Seven is back on Earth to assist
Starfleet Medical with the catomic plague while Tom Paris is
engaged in the fight of his life as his mother questions his
fitness to be a father.
In this episode of Literary Treks, author
Kirsten Beyer joins hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher
Jones to discuss her latest book, Acts of
Contrition, including the social issues represented
in The Confederacy of the Worlds of the First Quadrant,
the liberation of Tom Paris as a character, and Seven's continued
journey to adulthood. Plus, Kirsten teases what is to come in the
final installment, Atonement.
In our news segment, we learn that legendary author Harlan Ellison
has suffered a stroke, find out a bit about Sacraments of
Fire from David R. George III, and judge The
Missing by its cover.
