The situation on Delta Sigma IV continues to deteriorate. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-E must find a way to stop the violence and introduce a cure that will set the warring people back on the path of peace. Meanwhile, Riker tracks down his father and learns the terrible truth behind the problems facing the once-peaceful world. Is the Federation truly to blame?

In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Dan Gunther and Bruce Gibson review A Time to Hate before being joined by author Robert Greenberger to talk about both of his books in the A Time To series. We discuss the situation on Delta Sigma IV, the supposed cure, bridging the gap between Insurrection and Nemesis, Riker and Troi's relationship, Riker's relationship with his father, a dark secret revealed at the end of the novel, and we wrap up with what Bob is currently working on and where you can find him online.

In the news, we talk about the upcoming Star Trek: Epic Episodes from Titan publishing, as well as speculate about an upcoming project from IDW for which artist J.K. Woodward has been dropping hints about on Instagram.
