Spoilers DSC: Desperate Hours by David Mack Review Thread

[Ronald Held]

No, I was not invited to the premiere.

Does not seem right.

 

[DimesDan]

I've just pre-ordered the Kindle version ready to read at somepoint in the nearish future.

 

[Defcon]

The German version seems to be coming out as planned (early October). The publisher got its copies from the printer today.

And they must really hate that they weren't allowed to do a different cover. It's almost comical how eager they are to point out that they weren't allowed to change it and don't like the cover either.

 

[Ronald Held]

Not certain which gets read first, this novel or the DS9 one that comes out the same day.

 

[Ensign Ogahd Ahmganadai]

I'm waiting with this one untill I've seen atleast the first episode of Discovery, and see what I feel about the characters. If I want to invest into getting to know their background.

Me too. Then I will also know how to visualize everything.

 

[T'Bonz]

I can't stand it. Been waiting for days for the Discovery book (I do reviews). There's a package at my door today. AT LAST! No...it's the David R. George book, which comes out the same day. *head-desk!*

Seems like this one gets the Harry Potter treatment:

This one is definitely looking to be held til pick up day. I found several stores around the Dallas area saying they have it but then says will be available for pick up September 26

 

[JoeP]

Just got a notification; mine is on its way!

 

[Procutus]

According to Amazon, I won't get mine until after October 1, possibly as late as the 10th.

 

[Ronald Held]

Too early to see download notice.

With this tying into the show as cloesly as it does, I'm not surprised they're holding it back until after the premiere. Especially since it does apparently have some minor spoilers for The Vulcan Hello.

I know of at least one person who has a copy and is already reading it. I don’t know how they got their hands on it, it may have been a promotional copy since they host a certain popular Treklit podcast.

I found Original Sin today at my Barnes & Noble, but no Desperate Hours.

Yeah, I should have had mine. All my review copies come at least a week before they drop. The new DS9 one drops the same day as the Discovery one and I got it yesterday. No Discovery book.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

Twenty Minutes ago, i bought the german version of this novel Never had thought that the book is already out there. Looking forward to read it over the next few days!

Spoiler

The events in the book happen in May 2255. One year before the Shenzhou Mission to the Binary Stars and one year after the Enterprise's Talos IV Mission.

Captain Pike, Spock and the Enterprise have big roles in the book

The real name of Pike's Number One is Una

That fits well with my timeline

Also, I'm jealous!

 

[Freman]

Is this the same size as most of the other Trek books, or is it trade size? The images look trade size to me.

Darn. Ok, thanks.
