I saw this article in a semi-recent forum post and had to post it.  It’s somewhat of an addendum of what’s upcoming in the Star Trek universe.  From the sheer quantity of Trek books to be released, one wonders if the publishers are again meeting consumers/fans demand for quality Trek books.

Images from the upcoming Destiny saga.  These alone are worth their weight in gold.

SimonSays continues the onslaught with the post Destiny novels.  Following are some of the covers for those novels:

My next article will feature some of the additional upcoming novels

I just got done with Fearful Symmetry, the lastest DS9 novel and I’m ready for more. Unfortunately, Star Trek has slowed way down with releasing their books. Where we could expect a few a month, we’re lucky to get one a month.

Here’s the schedule for the upcoming year from krad at Simonsays.com:

August: TNG: Greater than the Sum by Christopher L. Bennett
September: ENT: Kobayashi Maru by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin
October: Destiny Book 1: Gods of Night by David Mack
November: Destiny Book 2: Mere Mortals by David Mack
December: Destiny Book 3: Lost Souls by David Mack
January: TOS: Errand of Fury Book 3: Sacrifices of War by Kevin Ryan
February: A Singular Destiny by Keith R.A. DeCandido
March: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea by Christopher L. Bennett
April: VOY: Full Circle by Kirsten Beyer
May: Vanguard Book 4 by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore

I’m excited about it! I really am but if anybody has noticed…DS9 isn’t on that list. Supposedly the continuation to Fearful Symmetry won’t be out until after May 2009. Oh vey!!!!  Luckily, I have monthly Trek comics and several of them are in the works.  God does love me!

Coming to a store near you in July 2008 is the third installment of Trek Manga entitled “Aratanaru Michi e, Uchu lit. “To a New Path”, “Space”

Although not a big fan of manga, I love the way they do Trek. If you haven’t read the first two….you’re missing out! The second volume even included work by Wil Wheaton. I hated him as snotty Wesley but as an author…he’s great! He has a real handle on what’s Trek.

For a quick preview of what’s going to happen in this latest volume:

The Voyage of the Starship Enterprise Continues…TOKYOPOP delivers new manga-style stories of the classic U.S.S. Enterprise crew in this third installment of the Star Trek the manga series. In Uchu: David Gerrold (writer of the famous “Trouble with Tribbles” episode) brings us a rumpus on the Enterprise as the mysterious, teddy bear-like creature Bandi runs amok with a pretty virulent vibes. Wil Wheaton returns with a Klingon confrontation that may test Kirk’s resolute hatred of them. Nathaniel Bowden brings us a society in which bureaucrats run wild. And Luis Reyes tries to glimpse the softer side of Spock. Stories include: Art of War (Story by Wil Wheaton and Art by E.J. Su), Inalienable Rights (Story by Nathaniel Bowden and Art by Heidi Arhnold), Bandi (Story by David Gerrold and Art by Don Hudson), and The Humanitarian (Story by Luis Reyes and Art by Nate Watson)

Remember to pick it up in your local comic shop in July!

New Voyages continues to rock the house with another upcoming episode reported to be released this upcoming fall (2007). Guest starring in this episode will be Denise Crosby. Everybody should remember her role as Tasha Yar (great character, by the way).

Without further ado, here’s the teaser.
