Earl Grey 57: Kindle Comes From the Nautical Term...

Ship of the Line Book Review.


The power of Star Trek novels is that they can fill in
the gaps of time periods set between the television series and
the feature films. Noted Star Trek author Diane Carey
did this—and more—in her 1997 novel Ship of the Line. This
story tells the complete tale of Captain Morgan Bateson and
the crew of the U.S.S. Bozeman, first introduced in
the TNG episode "Cause and Effect."


In this first ever book review episode of Earl Grey, Darren,
Daniel, and Phillip travel through three time periods: The untold
time between Star Trek: The Motion
Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan; the
events immediately following "Cause and Effect"; and what
happened to the crew of the Enterprise-D after its
destruction in Star Trek Generations. This book even briefly
allows Jean-Luc Picard to observe the events in the TOS episodes
"Balance of Terror" and "The Enemy Within." Old Klingon enemies,
a familiar Cardassian interrogator, and Scotty, too, all make
appearances in this literary adventure of The Next
Generation crew that launches the maiden voyage of the NCC
1701-E.
