Episode# 139: Interview with prolific Star Trek author David Mack about Picard:Firewall

When Star Trek Voyager’s popular character Seven of Nine returned to the franchise in the first season of Picard it was a closely guarded secret in that first episode back Seven mentioned years spent being a frontier law enforcer with an outfit called the Fenris Rangers. My guest in this episode is prolific Star Trek author David Mack. When he heard the name Fenris Rangers, he paused the show, wrote his editor, and said put me in coach. It took a couple of years but Mack eventually got the green light to tell this story.

In the episode we talk about Mack’s origin story, how he started writing Star Trek and we go deep into the novel Picard Firewall. At the time of the interview, I had read 100 pages, but I have since finished and it is a banger. Does for modern Trek what Andor did for Star Wars, a gritty noir although the politics are more social than dealing with the system. No major spoilers so check this out!
