Orion Archives: 2294-2400 The Adventures Continue is a gen and het Star Trek: TOS anthology that reprints content published in previous Orion Press zines, in particular from Orion. Some of the later issues also reprint online fanfic. The early issues are numbered; later on the titles are organized by the fictional timeframe the zine takes place in (many Orion Press zines take place in a vaguely shared universe at least as far as the basic chronology of the Trek universe is concerned. Their website offers timelines and such that the zines adhere to).

Flyer Summary

Summary from the flyer: "These are stories set after the events of Star Trek: Generations, and involve the various characters of Star Trek: The Original Series in various exciting adventures, continuing on their career paths without the wisdom, the humor, the humanity of their now deceased friend and commander. It is not an easy path, and some setbacks are assured, but these are the continuing voyages of our friends..."

Reactions and Reviews

[Until the End of Time]: Very nicely developed death scene for McCoy with Spock providing the comfort, the two having long since come to terms with one another. Spock makes the passing relatively comfortable for the doctor, who retains his spark and feistiness to the end - which comes from a previously unknown virus. Moving and fun -- and the emphasis on an afterlife does not spoil it for those of us who find that illogical. Nice touch is the revelation that there really is a "second star to the right and straight on till morning" - at least on Vulcan. [1]
