Any chance this will get an audiobook release since the Legacy books are getting audiobooks?
 
Wait, what?!

I think I need to go read the descriptions for this series, to see if there are time-travel hijinks involved.

Beautiful cover, though. :techman:

From the description and from what Miller has written on the subject, it could be more a visual representation of the narrative with sections devoted to both timeframes than use of time travel.

It looks like you're exactly right. I went back earlier in the thread to read the description for book 1, and saw this from the author himself:

I've been working closely with Pocket's staff (as well as fellow lifelong Trek fans as beta readers) to deliver an adventure that spans the two eras -- with no time travel! -- for the 50th anniversary.

Very appealing cover, and I'm looking forward to the story! (Although I'm still avoiding reading the descriptions for books 2 and 3, just in case of spoilers.)
 
is this a TNG/Titan crossover with elements of TOS or will there be some DS9/other series as well?

It does happen from time to time, but that's more to do with averages and the like. :shifty:

From what the author wrote and the descriptions online, it looks more like a mainly Next Gen and Movie event coupled with the cover of the A and the E. Of course, with Martok as Chancellor still, it would have that small link to Deep Space Nine.
 
I'm down to just getting the occasional Star Trek novel these days but I'll definitely be picking these up. I just can't resist Klingon stuff.
 
God, yesterday was messed up. On the one hand, news of Anton Yelchin's death, but on the other, news that we're getting a brand-new Enterprise-A story in the novels (or at least as part of that greater storyline), so I'm just gonna focus entirely on the positive for now:

Great to see the NCC-1701-A getting some epic cover-love on this one, too. :techman:
 
Wow, that is certainly a cover. :techman:

I'm surprisingly not disappointed that this cover is not a sign of the story involving time travel.
 
I love the cover. I was really surprised to see the Enteprise-A on the cover.
 
Haven't been back here for a while so missed this:

And back to Jedi Ben's comment: yeah, I wanted more Gryph, too. My marching orders on that miniseries was that it was to be a Zayne solo tale. The military sequence was definitely always intended to be part of the ongoing storyline, but it would've had the other characters in a running subplot. This actually matches what happened with "Vector" -- editorial wanted that one to be just the two principal characters, with the rest of the cast off panel. It's kind of a pattern in comics: about every two or three years books about teams will tend to do an arc just on one or two characters, to let the new readers on board more easily. (I did propose a KOTOR series to follow "War," by the way -- but by that time I was focusing more on prose, and even if it had become a reality the license would have changed hands before it got very far along.)

Thanks for the info, really interesting - for me KOTOR's strongest point - though I appreciate it doesn't necessarily make for an easier sell - ended up as the ensemble of characters. Zayne is a major part of that, as he's point character you follow to meet all the others. Once they were there though, their absence is more easily noticed.
