Here are the covers for the upcoming Star Trek Deep Space Nine Terok Nor novels, to be published in 2008. Cover art is by John Picacio. The art represents what the three covers will look like when you put them together.

    Yeah, I can't stop looking at this cover art. I especially like how DS9/Terok Nor is set on its side. It's one thing that I wish Star Trek would have done more of on the shows. In space there is no up or down so why did ship always fly by each other "right side up". Though I think in TAS there was one episode where a Klingon ship rendezvoused "upside down". Though I haven't watched all the TAS episodes from the DVD collection yet, so maybe I'm remembering wrong. I found it funny in the DS9 episode "Empok Nor" how they showed the station up on its side to make to illustrate that it was abandoned. heh

    Anyways, that's just nitpicking nonsense. The cover is cool as hell.

Even I WILL read these | Report this post to moderator

Yep...gotta agree with some of you. I WILL be reading these. DS9 books, for the most part, have all been pretty well done. I would love more books centering on post-Prophet Sisko...but Dukat is probably the most fleshed out villian of all TREKS so this will be a good read I suspect...

DS9 was the only interesting Trek | Report this post to moderator

Personally I'm ecstatic about these books. I think DS9 was the only component of the franchise that developed the characters and the universe as deeply as it did. None of the other series came close IMHO. These books will just add to the mythology of that universe. Can't wait.

    You are being way too modest DirectorSloan. DS9 had the best characters in the TNG-era trek. I too am looking forward to reading about the beginning stages of the occupation. We get snapshots during the TV show but nothing like this. The cover art is awsome too!

....but in this case it's OK. ; ) Such an obvious road to take with the novels, but I never even thought of it. lol. I guess I've been too preoccupied with what is happening post-DS9.

Anyway, looks cool. Sounds to me like a definite read. DS9 books are always a great read, at least from what I have read.
