  • Summary

  • In this episode, host Peter (@PeterTrek1) is joined by book club member Michael Romero (@mralligatorcw) to discuss the novel “The Lost Years” by J.M. Dillard. This TOS novel focuses on the time period just after the completion of the Enterprise’s 5-year mission and before the start of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”.
