One month out from the official release of my new #StarTrek : The Next Generation novel PLIABLE TRUTHS!

My first TNG novel set during the TV series. My other TNG novels are set either just before or after the last TNG movie. Weird, right?

But let's deconstruct WHY this is terrible... 🧵

New edition of my second novel. Thank you, Tor. It is about the dangers of a hesitant leadership in a revolutionary epoch. (In all honesty, I think it's terribly flawed; but writing it taught me a hell of a lot. So to speak.) us.macmillan.com/books/97812503…
