22. It's Not A Novel, It's An Experience
from Antimatter Pod · host Anika and Liz
We're talking about the Star Trek tie-ins of our formative years -- the ones we read until they fell apart. And it doesn't quite turn into a Diane Duane book club, but... Well. Novels we discuss in detail: The Romulan Way by Diane Duane How Much For Just The Planet? by John M. Ford Survivors by Jean Lorrah The Pandora Principle by Carolyn Clowes The Devil's Heart by Carmen Carter Dark Mirror by Diane Duane (coming full circle!) You don't need to be familiar with these novels to listen to the podcast! How Much For Just The Planet is a classic, but it's also out of print, and retailing for a couple of hundred dollars on Amazon Marketplace -- or, as it turns out, just a couple of bucks on eBay. (Treat yourself. It's amazing.) We also talk about the different needs filled by tie-in novels versus fan fiction, and why more recent Star Trek fiction just isn't doing it for us.
