    I found a whole bunch of Trek novel e-books cheap on Google Play Books, so I got Duty, Honor, Redemption (The Signature Edition omnibus collecting the Wrath of Kahn, Search For Spock, and Voyage Home novelizations), TOS: Burning Dreams, and Seekers 1: Second Nature.

    Reading that myself now, eventhough i havent even ploughed through all of the Fall or even Typhon pact. Typhon Pact 6 and 7 have been my latest aquisitions, as of yestersay, though they will be read but after reading prometheus and prey I think.

    "The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, from 'The Next Generation' to JJ Abrams" by Mark A Altman & Edward Gross, plus Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore's. When I arrived home, by signed copy of David Gerrold's new Tribble script was waiting for me. A real tribble (onscreen in "The Trouble With Tribbles") wandered over for a look.

    I had to get my hair cut, but got stuck in the bookstore and then in a comicshop so I ran out of time and money for the hairdressers (oops), But I did get this! :

    I was lucky enough to have won a Twitter give away from John Jackson Miller on the day of the 50th Anniversary for the first book in the Prey trilogy, and it arrived today! Signed by the man himself...

    Finally found the Titan UK "Star Trek Beyond" movie magazine on the newsstand this week (comic shops got a different cover, but never saw that around either). This content is supposedly contained within the Titan Publishing hardcover book announced for November, but I couldn't pass this magazine by.

    I received a message from Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney, but haven't been able to get in yet. They are holding the revamped 50th anniversary edition of "Boarding the Enterprise" for me ("... with a new introduction from David Gerrold and afterword from Robert Sawyer for Star Trek: The Original Series' 50th anniversary"), and a title called "Zero G", a new non-Trek SF novel co-authored by William Shatner (with Jeff Rovin).

    Sorry, what is this one, exactly? Is it just the already-released Destiny omnibus, but with a 50th anniversary logo on it, or something?

    That of course brings to mind the thought that this year would have been a great year to finally release DRG3's Crucible omnibus, with all of the (already written!) extra content...

    It's a German rerelease of a previous omnibus with a different cover/backcover which ptetty much is a wraparound of the German covers of the individual titles. There are pics in the Picture the novelverse thread.

    Five new short stories, and one new preface. All written prior to the cancellation of the book. Details from the author himself in this post.

    Oh, er, yes, that. Um, yes, I saw that in that thread. Even commented on it, I believe. Oops. :rofl:

    I always assumed the extra material got caught up in Harlan Ellison's complaint/lawsuit re the use of actual dialogue from "City" in the "Crucible" books and the Hallmark talking ornament. Whatever payout Ellison received was never disclosed, as is typical with such actions.

    I took advantage of this month's e-book sale to get the entire TNG: Slings & Arrows minseries for only US$1.99 (plus tax).
