Info on Star Trek Novels Coming in 2008

Features

By GustavoLeao / 08:32, 16 July 2007 / Trek Books

Jeff Ayers, the author of Voyages of the Imagination trade paperback, has started up a website at VoyagesOfImagination.com, which includes, among other things, a Star Trek books news page.

The most recent news entry includes the list of Star Trek novels coming in 2008, as announced at the Shore Leave convention this past weekend.

This list is not complete and subject to change.

JANUARY, 2008

- STAR TREK EXCELSIOR: FORGED IN FIRE by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels (mass)


BACK COVER COPY: A vicious pirate known as the Albino is cutting a deadly swath across space, creating turmoil in the Klingon Empire that threatens to spill into the Federation. But this criminal also has a secret that could shake the halls of Imperial power, and his genocidal plans against the race that bore him will have consequences even he cannot imagine, as several unlikely allies join swords to bring the Albino to justice: Hikaru Sulu of the U.S.S. Excelsior; Klingon captains Kor, Koloth, and Kang; and a hotheaded young Federation diplomat named Curzon Dax. Tempered in the flames of their shared adversity, a captaincy is forged, a Blood Oath is sworn . . . and a hunt begins that will stretch from one generation to the next.

- STAR TREK KLINGON EMPIRE: A BURNING HOUSE by Keith R. A. DeCandido (mass)

They are the Klingons, and if you think you already know all there is to learn about them . . . think again.


From its highest echelons of power to the shocking depths of lowest castes; from its savagely aggressive military to its humble farmers, from political machinations of galactic import to personal demons and family strife, the Klingon Empire is revealed as never before when the captain and crew of the I.K.S. Gorkon finally return to their homeworld of Qo'noS in a sweeping tale of intrigue, love, betrayal, and honor.

Wow! I'm impressed with the list for 2008. : )

"Forged in Fire" will be a definite read, as will "Gods of Night: Book One".

The Bajor Occupation series could be something to look at as well. Every one of these books looks pretty interesting.

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
