Ship of the Line. One of the blessings of tie-in fiction is the ability of writers to fill in the gaps between episodes or movies in a franchise and Star Trek's literature has done that better than most.

In this episode of Literary Treks Matthew Rushing and Casey Pettitt discuss Ship of the Line. We discuss back story, another gap, Madred, the Klingon villain, Picard's journey, Bateson's journey, Riker, diversity, it just ends, jargon, our ratings and final thoughts.

In the news section we review the first issue of Star Trek: Resurgence, the comic lead-in to a new Star Trek video game. News Star Trek: Resurgence #1 (00:03:52)
