20 | Review: ‘Drastic Measures’ Novel

With three of our four regular panelists on deck — Chris Clow (Movies.com, Comics on Consoles), Rachael Clow (Biology PhD candidate), and Cicero Holmes (Spawn On Me Cast) — our crew goes in-depth with author Dayton Ward's explosive tie-in novel STAR TREK: DISCOVERY - DRASTIC MEASURES. Set a decade before the beginning of the DISCOVERY TV series, the new book explores one of the most consequential and horrific events in the 23rd century: the slaughter of 4,000 colonists on Tarsus IV. With the book fresh in our minds, we explore how it weaves together two major DISCOVERY characters — Philippa Georgiou and Gabriel Lorca — with established continuity going back to the STAR TREK: TOS episode "The Conscience of the King."
