Trek Lit Reviews has a review up for “Star Trek: 36 Worlds Apart Book 2: How Much for Just the Planet?“: Star Trek is no stranger to absurdity. “The Trouble with Tribbles,” “I, Mudd,” and “A Piece of the Action” are probably the most notable instances.

Deep Space Spines has a review up for “Star Trek: 30 Demons“: This week, almost everyone on the Enterprise and most of the population of Vulcan fall prey to energy-based brain parasites that take over their minds, and it looks like the only cure is fresh air and exorcise.

[…]
