Hack’s cover artist Jonny M. once wrote and directed a theater mash-up of Star Trek: The Original Series and Gilbert & Sullivan titled U.S.S. Pinafore. During that time, Jonny pondered if high-ranking female Starfleet officers – regardless of their age – were required to wear the mini skirt and go-go boots that all the other women on the ships wore. It’s a question that always pisses off hardcore Trekkies on Star Trek discussion boards but it so intrigued Hack that he wrote this novel about it.
