Chapter 04: Una McCormack Talks Star Trek

Welcome to The Captains Table where we have intimate chats with those who have shaped Star Trek in words… For chapter four of our ongoing interview series, we are very pleased to present to you our interview with author Dr Una McCormack. Una is a science fiction writer, particularly of tie-in novels based on Doctor Who and Star Trek. Una is also a lecturer in creative writing at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. During the interview, Una tells us about her love of Blake 7, Doctor Who and of course Star Trek. We talk about her favourite character Mr Garak from DS9. We have a really interesting talk about fan fiction and in particular Una’s own fan fiction. We also discuss Una’s novel “Hollow Men” which is a follow up to the amazing episode “In the Pale Moonlight”. As well as that we play a clip from Melissa from the Delta Quadrant who gave us some great things to talk about in reference to “In the Pale Moonlight”.
