The Inevitable Spin-off!
Somewhere...out there...on the edge of explored space...bordering a sector of
xenophobic psychopaths... sits a station...(tired of the ellipses yet?). Anyway, it's Waystation, Starfleet's
quickie-answer to the threat of the Multek Enclave, a race of ethnocentric beings who refuse to even
acknowledge that other species exist. The ever-wise and all-knowing folks at Starfleet Command have
pulled officers from the U.S.S. Secondprize to command Waystation. They are all that stand between the
Federation colonies of the Beta Quadrant and the Multeks. I hope the colonists have life insurance.
THE STORIES
Star Traks 5: In-The-Way-Station
Yeah, yeah. I know this one is over on the main Star Traks page, but just in case
you didn't read it, here it is. It's how everything gets started anyway. Here goes...
A run-in with a not-so-friendly alien race (They never are) leads to big changes for the Secondprize
crew. Determined to protect Federation space from this new enemy, Starfleet hastily constructs a new
outpost to watch over things and transfers members of the Secondprize crew to man it. Really, too much
goes on to describe in a little space like this. Just read it.
House Arrest
Security Chief Sean Russell has a problem: supplies are disappearing all over the
station, and he can't stop it. The disappearing equipment is only the beginning, though. Soon, the crew
starts vanishing as well. What the heck's going on? Who's responsible? Can Russell stop them? Does he
want to? Can you get a sunburn on a holodeck? Find out most of the answers in House Arrest.
Send the Marines
With colonization starting in earnest around Waystation, the Federation sends the rest
of Colonel Lazlo's battallion. Now, the battle of wills between Commander Beck and Lazlo is more heated
than ever. But Lazlo's about to make a move that will put his marines up against one of the most fearsome
species the Federation has ever encountered. They're vicious, unstoppable, and gosh darn cute!
This Is Only A
Test
Leximas never asked to come to Waystation. And she certainly never asked to be
regarded as some kind of guru. The final indignity comes when she attracts a group of followers...rabid,
unceasingly devoted (bordering on psychotic) followers. Just how far will the Poster Child of Inner Peace
go to reclaim her solitary existence?
Field Trip
Feeling a bit stir crazy, Commander Beck heads out on what's supposed to be a routine
scouting mission. Someone should have told the Multeks.
Win Or Else!
During his vacation on the scenic Klingon homeworld of Quonos, Lieutenant Russell
gets a chance to be a contestant on a Klingon game show. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity...most of the
contestants don't live to come back for another appearance.
Close to Home
The crew of Waystation must rescue Yeoman Jones from a parallel universe controlled by the Federation of Fun. Sure, being happy all the time sounds great at first, but wait until you see the consequences for disobedience. Guest Written by Anthony Butler.
That Sinking
Feeling
Here it is! The first Waystation novel (well, novella really, but why quibble). A figure
from Leximas' past comes for revenge, and this time she's brought along the power of the Q. In short order,
the crew of Waystation are fighting for their lives, their station, and, in the case of Commander Beck, her
very soul. Can the crew figure out some way to stop a demi-god? Will Bradley Dillon's holodeck fantasies
get him killed? Is Beck willing to leave Starfleet for a higher level of existence? Will Colonel Lazlo ever
stop being a weaselly slimeball? Is Lieutenant Russell the only one who can sort this mess out?
RENOVATIONS has moved to its own page.

STAR TRAKS: WAYSTATION: RENOVATIONS!
Something They Ate
After an official dinner goes horrendously wrong for
Beck and Porter, they receive help from an unexpected source. CROSSOVER WARNING! I'm just not
saying with who.
The Way We Were
The second, full-length Waystation book!!! A visit from Commander Jaroch of the USS
Secondprize and the discovery of a new species creates all kinds of problems for Commander Beck and the
Waystation crew. And believe me, the Multeks aren't too happy about the newcomers either. Along the
way, there's some mind control, time travel, and a dance number. Just a normal day at the office.
