The next generation of fanmade Trek fiction has always been the digital domain, and on Dec. 25 a new entrant is arriving: Star Trek: The Continuing Mission, a free monthly audio podcast featuring new adventures of the U.S.S. Montana and its captain, Paul Edwards. The premise is unusual: the Kirk-era Montana gets hurled into the next century, trapping the crew in their own future and encountering a Federation still years away from the exploits of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Launched by two veteran podcasters who are also ardent Trek fans, Sebastian Prooth and Andy Tyrer, Continuing Mission combines the work of professional voice actors and diligent editing to produce an relatively polished result. For more, read my article here, and watch this space for the review.

Update: The review has been posted, as well as an interview with co-executive producer Sebastian Prooth.
