Having edited this book, I’m a bit perplexed by the negative reactions to the cover. The front-cover image was created from new photography of the screen-used Enterprise model housed at the Smithsonian Institution. There’s nothing distorted or broken about it—that’s the model. No CGI. No Photoshop work on the body of the model itself, just the engines. And yet it looks worse than an AMT model-kit boxtop? I may be biased, but I beg to differ.

The Pocket Books catalogue description has been released for Rough Beasts of Empire. Its inaccurate (Kira isn’t in the Bajoran Militia anymore), but you can see the direction DS9 will take:

I’d like to see one book from each of the series relaunches at least once a year. That would be 4 books right there. Add in 2 to 3 of the original series books, then fill in with New Frontier and Vanguard books, and eventually some based on the 2009 movie, and you would still have 2 to 3 months to work with with anything else. Maybe have them rotate each month, that way some of the relaunches may have 2 books in a year and you would never wait more than a year for the next one.

I also find it frustrating that there are sometimes years wait for the continuing story arcs. They pulled me in with the relaunches, only to make me wait sometimes 2 to 3 years to see what happens. When I started reading Kirsten Beyer “Full Circle”, I almost totally forgot what happened in the prior Voyager books. The same thing happened when I read Olivia Woods “Fearful Symmetry” after “Warpath.” I forgot some of the details of what happened to Taran’atar. It’s never a good idea to make readers wait so long for the next book that they forgot what built up to the next story you are reading.

WOW NO DS9 AGAIN. LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY MAY AS WELL PUT DS9 IN THE SHITTER. CAUSE WAITING YEARS BETWEEN BOOKS IS REALLY MAKING ME LOSE INTEREST IN READING STAR TREK BOOKS.

BECAUSE THIS YEARS BOOKS ARE SUCH CRAP AND I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO WAIT FOR A YEAR FOR A GOOD TREK BOOKS TO COME OUT. I HAVE NOW GOT INTO STARGATE A LOT. THANKS TO POCKET BOOK FOR NOT PUTTING ANY GOOD TREK BOOKS OUT FOR A YEAR. I MAY JUST NOT GO BACK TO TREK CAUSE IT TAKES YEARS TO PUT OUT GOOD TREK BOOKS.

Why are people complaining about the cover for “Star Trek 365″?
I think it is pretty good. The Enterprise looks good. And so what if the font is in white? Does it have to be in blue or yellow font to match the opening title of TOS?

The PR on this one sounds good and I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but why the tiny book format? Also, non-fiction Trek books the last decade have been krap—maybe some new blood is needed to produce something worthwhile?
