Star Trek: Discovery: Fear Itself
Star Trek: Discovery: Fear Itself | James Swallow
7 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
An original novel based upon the explosive new Star Trek TV series on CBS All Access. Lieutenant Saru is a Kelpien, a member of a prey species born on a world overrun by monstrous predators…and a being who very intimately understands the nature of fear. Challenged on all sides, he is determined to surpass his origins and succeed as a Starfleet officer aboard the U.S.S. Shenzhou. But when Saru breaks protocol in order to prove himself to his crewmates, what begins as a vital rescue mission to save a vessel in distress soon escalates out of control. Forced into a command role he may not be ready for, Saru is caught between his duty and the conflicting agendas of two antagonistic alien races. To survive, he will need to seek a path of peace against all odds, and risk compromising the very ideals he has sworn to uphold….

Continuing my journey through the Discovery novels. I began with the ones that most appealed to me andIm now slowly filling in the gaps. There are two more after this exploration of Saru.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, though I'm invested in the character due to the show so there's some bias warning.

My favorite thing about Saru is the fact that while his approach is often different, his loyalty, resolve, and sense of duty is just as strong, if not stronger, than others.

Doug Jones in conversation with Dr. Terrence Wandtke. A lovely person in every way!

Geeklet Saru is becoming one of my favorite Discovery characters. Which probably means he‘s gonna turn evil. 😢 5y
tournevis @Geeklet Haha! I don't know about Saru, but Jones is a marvelous human, funny and humble. 5y

And now, for the final event of the conference, Doug Jones, aka Saru on Star Trek Discovery, aka, the creature from Shape of Water, aka the Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth, aka, every other monster you can think of. He has a receiving line.

It's a Very Star Trek Episode but a book! I liked spending time with Saru, but I wish we had learned a bit more about him. I'm sure they're saving it for the show.
