Positively Trek 317: Weaponized Ginger Ale

Strange New Worlds: Ring of Fire with author David Mack!


The Enterprise is assigned to investigate murder and sabotage aboard an ultra-top secret space station, where dangerous elements are attempting to undermine the station’s mission… whatever that is! The away team must contend with spies and saboteurs, all while being frustrated at the lack of cooperation from the people they’re trying to protect.


In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan Gunther and the returning Bruce Gibson welcome special guest David Mack back to the show! He’s here to discuss his latest novel: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Ring of Fire!
