94: I'm Getting Too Old For This Bleep

Keith DeCandido: Slings and Arrows: Enterprises of Great Pitch and Moment. From the moment First Contact hit the screens and Geordi mentioned the Enterprise-E had been in space for a year, fans wondered what transpired that year. With huge events on DS9, fans knew the crew of the Enterprise had to be involved somehow. Luckily Treklit came to the rescue with the Sings and Arrows series.  In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunter are joined by author Keith DeCandido to talk about the last book in Slings and Arrows, Enterprises of Great Pitch and Movement as well as the series. We discuss the conclusion, the genesis of the series, choosing the writers, Keith's installment, Sisko and Picard, tying it all together, favorite moments, Keith's future in Treklit, his work outside Star Trek and where to find him online. In the news we talk about a new book and cover to judge, The Wit and Wisdom of Star Trek and one more thing from Dayton Ward.   Hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther   Guest Keith DeCandido   Editor and Producer  Matthew Rushing  Richard Marquez   Associate Producers Will Nguyen Lisa Stevens Kenneth Trip   Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen   News New Book and Book Cover Judging (00:01:59) The Wit and Wisdom of Star Trek (00:05:22) Dayton Has One More Thing (00:06:58)   Feature: Keith DeCandido Slings and Arrows Conclusion (00:09:34) Keith Shares About the Genesis of the Project (00:12:13) Choosing the Writers (00:20:12) Enterprises of Great Pitch and Movement (00:23:24) Sisko and Picard (00:26:34) Tying it All Together (00:32:46) Favorite Moments from the Series (00:44:53) Hope for More Star Trek?
