Our twitter friend and Star Trek novelist, Dayton Ward, announced today that his latest Trek writings are available for your reading pleasure. "Star Trek: Seven Deadly Sins" is a collection of short stories that focus on Federation enemies and they're representation of each of the seven deadly sins.

Not only were Dayton Ward and his writing partner Kevin Dilmore involved in the new publication, but also David A. McIntee, James Swallow, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Britta Burdett Dennison, Greg Cox, and first time Star Trek author Marc D. Giller.

We'll definitely be picking up a copy to read on our PADD, er Kindle.

About Star Trek: Seven Deadly Sins.

The Seven Deadly Sins delineate the path to a person's downfall, the surest way to achieve eternal damnation. But there is a way out, a way to reclaim salvation: blame it on the demons -- taunting you, daring you to embrace these sins -- and you shall be free. The painful truth is that these impulses live inside all of us, inside all sentient beings. But alas, one person's sin may be another being's virtue.
