Greg Cox - A continuum of care in written standards of Star Trek legacies

A world-renowned authority on Star Trek novels, Batman, Underworld, Farscape, and countless other franchises, Greg Cox is Bryan and Lili's interview guest. Greg is a science fiction author best known for his media tie-in novelizations. Cox discusses his career starting with writing short fiction for such magazines as "Amazing Stories" and "Mike Shayne Mystery Magazine". Greg goes on to discuss meeting and being mentored by legendary science fiction editor David Hartwell, who launched Pocket Books' line of STAR TREK novels, plus later working with editor John J. Ordover at Pocket Books in the realm of Star Trek novels and other franchises. Bryan asks Greg about his first two Star Trek novels, a Deep Space Nine book co-written with John Gregory Betancourt and a Next Generation novel with Kij Johnson, and how both of those early collaborations worked in very different fashions. Greg goes into granular details on getting the Star Trek bible for Deep Space Nine even before the series aired.
