Indeed and looking at it, it may be a bit of an over kill. Although think of the money, the kudos of being on the New York best sellers list five times in a year and the amount of Jack you'll have to consume for it too work.
I realized that Bad Robot had to approve the YA books, I just thought that they might have been less concerned with them since they were set before the movie. I still find it weird that they've let all of those be published, but not the adult books. The only noticeable difference was when they were set, so I thought that might have been the reason they weren't published. I had forgotten that Orci and Kurtzman's K/O Paper Products though. Does that mean that any Abamsverse tie-ins after Into Darkness comes out would have to be approved by K/O too, or would it still just be Paramount, CBS, and Bad Robot?
I'm not really sure how it works. You'd have to talk to someone who's actually in the loop. Orci comments regularly on TrekMovie.com, and sometimes does Q&A threads, so maybe you could ask him there.
Yep, this. Title's pretty clear in soliciting OUR imagined/fantasy schedules, so we could pretty much throw in any imagined Trek-related novels we want. I wasn't even that creative when I said 24th century, was I?
What I'd like to see is a lot of variety-- a mix of both TV and original-to-TrekLit novels, along the lines of: JAN: TOS FEB: DTI by Christopher L. Bennett MAR: TNG APR: Corps of Engineers (a new hardcopy collection of the next uncollected stories, as well as a return of (at least one) new eBook) MAY: JJ-verse JUN: TITAN JUL: DS9 AUG: AVENTINE SEP: VOY by Kirsten Beyer OCT: New Frontier by Peter David NOV: ENT: Rise of the Federation by Christopher L. Bennett DEC: a Special Event title I enjoy all the current TrekLit authors, so besides the specific cases I mentioned above I'd be happy with whoever wrote what! I rather like the TNG ebooks, as they feel more like episodes since they're shorter, so I'd like to see more of those thrown in as well.
Sure, why not? JAN: TOS novel set during the 5-year mission FEB: TMP-era TOS novel MAR: Captain Pike-era TOS novel APR: Lost Era featuring Enterprise-B under Demora Sulu's command MAY: Lost Era featuring Enterprise-C JUN: Stargazer novel (featuring its first deep space exploration assignment post-Maker) JULY: DS9-R novel AUG: TNG novel set during the original series SEPT: Titan OCT: TNG-R / Second Decade NOV: VOY-R DEC: ENT / Rise of the Federation ETA: I'd also launch a new monthly eBook novella series, a la Corps of Engineer, featuring either the Stargazer or another original crew. Hey, it's my dream schedule...
I'm reasonably sure you're referring to a novel set during the TNG series run, but now the thought of a TNG novel set during TOS intrigues me...
LOL yes, I meant a TNG novel set during the original run of the series, not during the TOS era. Although hey...
