TOS Legacies Trilogy

[Greg Cox]

^ Get out.

...Ain't I a stinker?

Don't forget the Marvel Early Voyages version, where she was named Robbins (and her first name was probably Eureka).

I read those. Missed the Byrne ones somehow.

Greg, if you're interested, they're collected in a trade. The stories follow Number One's career through the years (and even offer an explanation for why a Lieutenant is serving as a first officer!):

Number One also pops up in Byrne's Romulan stories:

I recommend them both.

I'll have to check those out . ...

^ It will likely be corrected at any moment, but as of now the blurb for Best Defense on Dayton's blog is missing its final paragraph.

These sound great. Hopefully by the time they come out I'll be caught up enough to be ready to read them as they are released.
Dayton's mention of Constellations makes me miss the short story and novella collections we used to get.

David Mack isn't spilling any beans on Facebook, but I'm wondering if that parallel universe in Best Defence will be the shiny one with all the lens flares. Or maybe the dark beardy one?

These sound great. Nice to see they might be tying into the Vanguard series a bit, too (going by Dayton's back-cover copy).

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

Sounds like a great storyline weaving through the trilogy. Thanks for posting the links, everyone.

A device that sends people to alternate universes? Reminds me of COE - The Art of the Comeback, featuring a MacGuffin which Montgomery Scott theorized to be the prime universe's version of the mirror universe's Tantalus field.

TWIST ENDING: The Prime universe is the alternate one, and the Klingons are preparing to invade the woman's home universe.

Now it works. Sounds all great. I hope the Cross Cult folks are going to consider a translation sometime in the foreseeable future.

 

[Reanok]

Legacies sounds like a great trilogy of books. I'm definitely looking forward to reading this miniseries coming out next year.

Do we know yet whether these will fit into the existing (modern) Pocket continuity, or be "their own thing" like Crucible?

We're not worrying about it one way or the other. There might be some subtle nods to elements of the ongoing literary continuity, but we wanted the trilogy to be able to stand alone as a TOS event for the anniversary, so that any fan of the original series could pick them up and dive right in.

Exactly. There was never a moment where we "officially" decided whether the trilogy fits into this "continuity" or another. We just wanted to write an epic TOS saga that would appeal to both casual fans, excited by the 50th Anniversary, and long-time readers.

Although alert readers may notice a few subtle nods to one of my old stories in Book One.

Okay. Thanks for the information, both of you.
