Maybe it was my first published novel being set during post-ENT, maybe it’s because my wife is actually T’Pol, but I can never get enough of this time period in Trek.

So you know it’s not dramatics when I say this is one of the best pieces of business I’ve ever read for the Xindi. Loved it!

Archer gives T'Pol the gift of a compass. This is one of my all time favorite moments of the series,

I really wanted to suggest a deep culture behind each of the Six Xindi species. I mostly achieved this in the many footnotes.

Just to prepare you for the level of nerdery in this fictional history, I created a poetic form for the Xindi: a six line poem of six syllables each.

#Time2Trek Gift

Daniels gives Archer the gift of a glimpse into Enterprise’s future by bringing him to the Enterprise-J. He later gives him a glimpse of his own role in the signing of the Federation charter.

A Heart Divided: The History of the Xindi Civil War was a passion project that I might return to one day. One thing is for sure, the story of the Xindi is rife with narrative opportunities which the #StarTrek franchise has yet to tap into.

This piece of the Augments story has so much going on and so many layers. Through them all, Malik is a slime-ball and Dr. Lucas & Phlox are awesome.

Plus cool connections to to larger franchise- this is a good one! 🥕🖖🏽💚
