Spoilers Hidden Universe Travel Guide: Star Trek: Vulcan by Dayton Ward Review Thread

[Christopher]

I do wish CBS would greenlight one on Earth.

I take it you mean 23rd- or 24th-century Earth, because it's not like there's a shortage of travel guides about places on Earth...

 

[Markonian]

I'd rather see Bajor, Una's Cardassia, or Andor/ia before we do Earth. And then, what do you exclude from such a book?

But of course.

I have so, so many questions about Earth culture that the shows never bothered to touch on.

Very, very true. Hit the highlights, I suppose.

The next travel guide I'd like to see is Romulus and Remus...

Bajor would my first choice, with Romulus a close second.

 

[Markonian]

Received emails from Amazon detailing that the Kindle eBook release of both guides has been delayed to 26 September 2017.

 

[JD]

I think this is about the 4th or 5th delay now.
@Dayton Ward, do you have any idea what might be going on here?

 

[brianwdaugherty]

On second thought, I'd like to see separate Bajor, Earth and Romulus guides, although it's most likely that a 'worlds of the Federation' compilation would be the only other Trek-related guide that would be published.

I want whatever guide comes next to touch on details the canon series never really touched on. For example:

What's life like on Alpha Centauri, Andoria and Tellar in 2387? Whatever happened to Denobula?

Where in the Gamma Quadrant can Federation travelers safely visit?

And do they still hold a certain horse race on the first Saturday in May of the Earth standard calendar in Louisville, Kentucky (and more importantly, do they still play basketball in KY and its neighboring state of Indiana in the 24th century)?
