Speaking of things left out of the Romulan War books for lack of it being a trilogy versus just two books, Martin just gave an interview at
Star Trek.com where he lists some of the things he wanted to write in a novel set "in between"
Beneath the Raptor's Wings and
To Brave the Storm. I think I recall somewhere he wanted to call it
In Shariel's Jaws...

Some intriguing ideas there. Such a bummer it didn't happen.
