He earned his retirement. But fate has a way of hunting down certain retirees and putting them back to work. Hey, if Picard could do it, why can't Dicker?

Yes, it's the further adventures of Bob Dicker and crew. He's faced near death, been tortured at the hands of the Clobbernauts, and lost two cherished crewmember friends. He was desperate for a way to escape the physical and emotional pain, so he retired. But oftentimes one must face the pain, not run away from it, in order to bring closure. So, when he learns of a heretofore unknown relative of one of his lost crew, he come out of retirement to lead the hunt.

So, what is Dicker anyway? To be strictly accurate, it's a sequel/reverse spinoff. It follows Lightspeed Drifting, the main series, but it also follows Felini At Sea, which is a spinoff of Lightspeed Drifting, combining the two back into one. Does that make any sense? Truthfully, it doesn't really matter.

As of 11 June 26. Eight of twelve scenes are in the can. The remaining scenes are the longest and most complex, so it would not be fair to say I am half done. Looking at completion late July/early September. So I will just miss summer blockbuster season.
