Two books in the so-called [[Star Trek Novel Verse]]. A collection of five inter-related stories that feature team-ups between each of the series' regular characters and a guest crew from the continuity. The name is taken from the DC comics series of the same name (which would also give its name to ''[[Batman: The
{{tropelist}}
* [[And I Must Scream]]: Malkus’ eventual fate is to be sealed inside his box as a disembodied mind, totally cut off from external stimuli while remaining conscious.
* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The four Malkus devices. One can be used to unleash a deadly disease, one is a [[Mind Control Device]], the third is a giant [[Death Ray]] and the last controls the weather.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Many. As an example, when preparing to leave for a conference on Khitomer, Ambassador Worf is looking over the latest reports from around the Klingon Empire. Among the items awaiting his oversight is a progress report from Emperor Vall on taD, a [[Continuity Nod]] to the earlier novel [[Diplomatic Implausibility]]. Also, [[Word of God]] has stated that Commander Joseph Shabalala is the father of Anthony Shabalala, from the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] series.
** Similarly, the first time we see Commodore Matt Decker, he's seen talking to his son, then-Lieutenant Willard Decker of ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'' fame.<ref>Despite there being no on-screen connection between Matt and Will, [[Word of God]] seems to suggest the familial connection.</ref>
* [[Evil Overlord]]: Malkus, or at least he was 90,000 years ago
* [[Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables]]: Mmmm, ''clamdas''.
* [[Imported Alien Phlebotinum]]: The Klingon mind-sifter (which always seemed more advanced than their usual quasi-medical technology) is believed to have been derived from Zalkatian artifacts left behind on worlds later colonized by Klingons.
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Tharia ch’Ren ends up trying one of these, using one of the Malkus artifacts. He uses its weather control capabilities to wreck Cardassian and Federation colonies, first to avenge the deaths of his bondmates and then to get revenge on an informant who betrayed the Maquis.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: Malkus the Mighty, whose consciousness is contained within a box.
* [[Smart People Play Chess|Smart People Play]] [[Go]]: Robert DeSoto is presented as a champion-level player. He teaches his first officer to play...and regrets it, as she goes from a handicap to whooping his tail
* [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]]: Malkus liked these.
* [[When the Planets Align]]: One of the stories involves a Bajoran prophecy suggesting Bajor will be at peace when all the planet’s moons fully align. The bitter old terrorist Orta seeks to use the Malkus artifact he’s unearthed to artificially move a moon and
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Malkus was fond of this, too, though it’s also a practical paranoia; why let those who had intimate knowledge of his capabilities (and helped design his superweapons) live?
** {{spoiler|It's revealed Vralk was killed after this novel because of proving he earned this trope in Klag's eyes, especially after Tereth died in his place, and Klag more than considered her useful.}}
