Are you a fan of Star Trek?  It's been inspired by many elements of literature and pop culture and in return it has inspired other works.  Kevin Lauderdale discusses two such works in The Mote in God's Eye by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian.  Comment on this episode by visiting the website - http://www.chronicrift.com, writing john@chronicrift.com, or calling 888-866-9010.

You can purchase copies of either works through our Amazon store.  In doing so, you'll experience strange, new worlds while supporting the Rift Network.  Thank you.

Hornblower

I'm glad Kevin mentioned Horatio Hornblower.  I've seen a number of the movies starting Ioan Gruffudd as Hornblower, and you can really see him as a young Jim Kirk.  I can heartily recommend that series of movies; as I recall, there were eight in all (I think they were a co-production of A&E and the BBC).
