Here's hoping for a return of Annorax as well!
FIRST LOOK: The Cover of Star Trek: Voyager: A Pocket Full of Lies
- Thread starter Enterpriserules
- Start date
I'm not too sure about that one. Presumably, this novel is about how the timeline develops without the presence of the temporal weapon ship. Which as we saw at the end of Year of Hell meant Annorax lives a quiet life in the 22nd century with his wife on Kyana Prime and never has reason to become a crazed space/time Ahab.
True, but the M. Night Shyamalan style twist at the end implied that he would continue with his research. I don't think one stroll with his wife would stop him from completing his work. For all we know that scene occurred in the original timeline before Annorax's wife died. Perhaps Annorax has been caught in some type of temporal purgatory destined to forever build his ship. Maybe the events of A pocket full of lies are still the result of Annorax's machinations.
When Annorax's time ship blew up, it did a temporal incursion on itself. This ensures that in the new timeline, it will never be built. That's what always happened when the ship did an incursion on something - it erased that thing from history. Just so happens that the last thing it ever did was to erase ITSELF.

In-universe, Voyager as already undergone the refit. The question is: does the ship look the same - as on the original covers - or has it been visually changed, like on the German covers? The refit (saucer-separation et al.) could be done under the hood.
I seem to recall a quick comment somewhere that the ship was also slightly changed on the outside, not just within.... New nacelles and little things....
But I could be mistaken.
I hope they never chamge the ship on the covers at this point. It would invalidate almost all the Beyer novel covers to date.
^"Invalidate?" That's an odd way of putting it. Covers are often more figurative representations than literal ones. Remember all those '80s novel covers that featured the series-era Enterprise and uniforms in movie-era stories, or vice-versa?
Yes those drive me crazy. 
Thank you! I had thought I was losing my mind when I read the summary again today and saw that it was O'Donnell and Demeter that made the contact because I had was sure it was supposed to be Farkas and Vesta that made the contact, but couldn't figure out where I would have come across that idea if not in the summary. At least now I know I wasn't making things up. Makes me wonder why it changed, or if it had been a mistake in the original summary posted. Maybe Kirsten can clarify? Or I guess we can just wait for the book to come out... though I admit I'm already impatient to have this one released. Very intrigued by the concept behind this story.
Well am not knowledgeable about publishing though to me was interesting that the blurb seemed apparently changed. Would guess perhaps this isn't the first time that's ever happened sometime before the book came out.

Ever since YoH ended I've always asked myself one question. What would have happened if one of the ships Janeway was commanding, during the attack of Annorax's ship, didn't lower the temporal shields that kept them safe from Krenim temporal weapon. I've also considered that Voyager could have been damaged to the point Janeway couldn't lower the shields. I've wanted a sequel to that episode for a long time.
Ms B is batting a 1000 with these books.

Well, sometimes the book changes ("The Janus Gate" trilogy) as it is being written/edited... and yet the blurb stays the same.
Which caught out one Big Name Fan reviewer, when she'd obviously written her review in a hurry, based mainly on the incorrect cover blurb.

Do you mean the thing on AV Club with the comic reviewer that ended up fired for doing that? Or was that specifically a Treklit thing that you were talking about?
By the blurb for this book I'm wondering if we might see a return of the imposters from "Live Fast And Prosper".
But it's to bad that none of the other Full Circle ships have appeared on the covers. The "Vesta" would just be a reuse of the "Aventine" which has appeared on covers since 2010 (speaking of the Aventine, when are we going to see Dax and crew again?).

I wonder if there is a hole in the timeline that would allow Dax and the Aventine to join the fleet for awhile?
While there aren't currently any survivors, there was also a completed 3D model made for the Merian-class, which the late starships Hawking, Curie, and Planck belonged to.
There are some WIP images of Rademaker's design for the Demeter floating around, but if it's been finished, no images have been released. I don't think anything has been done with the Galen.
I thought this same thing when I read the blurb
