The Aventine looks ugly and “Captain” Ezri Dax is ridiculous. I prefer re-reading some old novels than anything post destiny, this isn’t star trek, it’s a cheap copy of star wars novels.

Ezri sucks. Time to bring back some really great characters in the novels

Captain Ezri Dax is the worst idea ever!!! She was a councelor in the series for Gods sake and the weakest character of DS9.

i know i didnt knowice the nacelle thats backwards and in the ground in losing the piece but has anybody else knoticed the rank pips are on the wrong side of picard and worf. also worf has 4 pips in the pic could this mean he gets promoted to captain? he should have 3 because he is a commander.

I want to get Troublesome minds. I’m a vulcan fan. I’m reading the Vulcan’s Soul books.

It looks like a good year ahead for pocket books (SPOILERS DON’T READ)

I couldn’t put down the Destiny Series, I woke up with it several time cant wait to re-read it in a few months Lol

Columbia has always bugged me since the ships of the line book came-out. Destiny does a good job of explaining what happened.

Although I thought Greater than the Sum was a bit flat in context of Death before dishonour and Destiny its OK, I didn’t think Picard was very Picard like though, but with a child on the way you could believe the pressure the character felt.

Its so good to see a tapestry of really well thought out sory lines involving established and new characters Daxs chief engineer hitting on Laforge was really good and Tuvoks son dieing was heart wrenching & beatiful. You really got a sense of galactic proportions, having the Tholian s talk about The Reach was a really good hint at the Vanguard stories, Talking about the disgraced Enterprise counsellor dieing in the forge on Vulcan was really sweet touch too

Im looking forward to here more about.

Id like more on President banco westwing meets startrek, theres an implied section31 issue there too,

Although myself a new convert to SCE (I know why??, I don’t know either, why it took me so long to read them look on the Brightside ive got a good stock of stories about SCE the NX01 being towed into mars orbit by Da’vinci was a real watershed moment. There was a bugger moment for me though they mention Cpt Gomez 

I’d agree Dax’s ship’s and earlier designs don’t look so good dosnt look like a slipstream equipt ship unless there a voyager esq, geometry “swing-wing thing happening???

I’d Like to see more Elias Vaughn he’s such an interesting character from his Spec Opps work with Harman Jr to DS9 there’s a real feel to him.

I most looking forward to the titan books they’ve been realy good

However point of order ladies and gents? Janeway isn’t dead she’s just gone for coffee with HOT lady Q???

I am really happy that the UK has the same show date for the STARTREK FILM AS US its normally a couple of months, I was serisly thinking of booking a flight

The Romulan war promises to be a good read but I think they should do a mini series on it not likely but a tv movie would be good dream on a.

loved the previews, thanks anthony.
to me, there are few things more pleasant than reading a good star trek novel, it fills my life with inspiration and hope.
here’s hoping for the best.
and good to see so many posts and intelligent people.

Yeah, the Voyages of Imagination guide was a lifesaver. Destiny book 1 is still sitting there unread, but we’ll get to it. Troublesome Minds, hmm.

Hey, Y’all–am I the only one to notice:

“…due to the “APPARENT death of Kathryn Janeway” [in Peter David’s 2007 TNG book "Before Dishonor"].”

I KNEW IT!!!

KATHY’S–NOT–DEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got to say, I’m with the Aventine detractors. If Jabba-the-Hutt was a starship, it would look like the Aventine.

I much prefer the sharper edges and greater dimensions of the more Classic Trek ships. Although, it kind of makes sense knowing he’s a designer for Battlestar Galactica. Looks like a Galactica ship with nacelles.

It will take a lot of time and $$$ to keep up with this new “Typhon Pact” plot thread. Probably a good time to return to Classic Trek novels, so I’ll probably just pick up Troublesome Minds and call it a year. Still, it’s nice to see the world of Trek novels so vivacious.

Nothing from Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens? :-(
