In numerology — which Wikipedia defines as “any belief in the divine, mystical relationship between a number ad one or more coinciding events” — the number 4 is supposed to reflect stability. Well, someone might want to tell that to writer Christopher L Bennett, the author of Star Trek Enterprise Rise Of The Federation Live By The Code (paperback, digital). Because while it’s the fourth book in his Rise Of The Federation series, and is set four years after The Federation was founded, an event depicted in the last episode of the fourth and final season of the TV show Star Trek: Enterprise, in talking about Bennett about Live By The Code, I don’t get the sense that he was going for stability.
