David Mack: Seekers 3: Long Shot. What if the laws of probability were no longer a factor and the most improbable and nigh unthinkable things began to happen? This is exactly what the crew of the Sagittarius runs into in the latest Seekers novel and the solution may just cost them more than they bargained for. In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther welcome back author David Mack to discuss his latest book Seekers 3: Long Shot. We talk about it’s creation, being villainless, illustrating the Prime Directive, scientific research, crew interactions, personal connections, life to the fullest, what’s next for David and where to find him online. In the news section we talk about TNG: Warped and it’s humorous ideas for a season 8 of The Next Generation.       Hosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther   Guest David Mack   Editor and Producer Matthew Rushing   Executive Producers C Bryan Jones and Norman C.
