Star Trek

[close] If you like space opera: an epic scale adventure through the galaxy with military battles, interplanetary politics, realistic interpersonal relationships and futuristic technology, then you've found the right place. Space Opera includes legacy sci-fi epics, tie-in universes (Star Wars, BSG, Firefly, etc.) & softer crossover epics aimed at enticing a new generation of young people, men and women into the genre. Legacy reader or brand new fan, welcome!!! Come join us for a frolicking good romp through the galaxy! We have space opera book discussions, TV and movie tie-ins, comic/anime/manga tie-ins, gaming tie-ins, and even discussions for upcoming Sci-Fi Conventions and LARPing. General science-fiction fans are welcome, but no arguing! We can discuss the different sci-fi sub-genres and various preferences. AUTHORS: The best way to get your books noticed by our community members is by being a participating member yourself. Spamming is prohibited! However, we do have certain, limited ways to put your book in front of readers.

[close] Women at Warp is a groundbreaking bi-weekly podcast committed to examining Star Trek from a feminist perspective, exploring Intersectional Diversity in Infinite Combinations with a rotating crew of six hosts. Tune in for everything from episode and character analysis to history of women behind the scenes and in fan culture to discussion of larger themes and messages throughout the franchise. Every few months, we’ll choose a Star Trek novel, memoir, graphic novel, or other related work; discuss it as we’re reading here; and then release a “Book Club” episode of the podcast.

[close] A casual book club, for reading Star Trek from any of the published series. We'll be reading one book from a series and one other single-book story together each month. You can of course choose to join in and read one or both or neither, depending on your interest. Discussion for each book will all be in one thread for that book and the topic will be open for discussion when the book is chosen. So anyone can read ahead and start commenting early but we'll all need to be responsible for avoiding spoilers for ourselves (i.e. if you haven't finished a book, enter its discussion thread at your own risk!) The books are chosen by open polling over at the Star Trek Reading Group on Facebook. Feel free to join in over there and contribute to the voting. The polls will end on the 15th and the winning books will be announced on the 16th of the month before we will be reading them. Hopefully that will allow enough time for us to order the books when we need to.
