Picture the Novelverse - Characters, Ships and More !

But if the Defiant on the cover wasn't actually in the time period where the former Terok Nor was still around, then that doesn't really work for me.

Sometimes covers aren't meant to be literal scenes, but composites showing elements from multiple scenes. For instance, the cover to my novel Only Superhuman shows a scene that isn't in the book but that evokes elements from both the opening and climactic action sequences.
 
But usually those kind of covers are more abstract, where this feels like it's supposed to be a specific scene.

The Only Superhuman cover looks like a specific scene, and it isn't. If anything, in my experience, I'd say covers that are exact, literal depictions of specific moments from a book, like frames from a film, are the exception rather than the rule. Even a cover that's essentially based on a specific scene will often tend to be more a loose interpretation than a precise depiction.
 
I guess I just kind of thought of the Only Superhuman cover as more of just a generic lead character in a heroic pose kind of image.
 
Don't know if you read it or not, but that's not the Defiant I believe, but
a Ascendant-ish recreation of it. It's part of the novel
.
I read that book, but have no memory of that scene. I’ll need to re-read
 
On their "Star Trek Romane" facebook account CrossCult posted this pic from the cover of their first Prey novel with Klingon letters. I just thought this would be worth posting :D

They will have the "Klingon version" of the covers as backcovers for each of the three novels it seems.
 
On Amazon.de there are already cover pics for 'Kleine Lügen erhalten die Feindschaft I and II' (The German edition of A Pocket full of Lies). They feature Icheb and Tuvok. I don't know if these covers are final, though.
Maybe @Jinn or @Defcon know more about it.

FWIW They haven't posted the covers at any of the usual places (their Facebook, startrekromane.de etc.).

But the covers on Amazon fit the pattern of the previous releases so I guess while they propably aren't 100% final, they are pretty close to the final product.

Having Icheb finally on a cover is great. And Tuvok again. This will stop further speculations about how is on the next German Voyager cover....;)
 
Is that Bravo Station?
Do we know which novel this is? Does final novel refer to the ebook trilogy from a few years back?

Yes!

Yes! Blind Man's Bluff.

Nope, it probably won't get translated.

The scar on Calhoun keeps changing.
Does it? At least on the German covers it has been pretty consistent:

I guess it's a bit different from the scar on Calhoun in the English novels, but they don't really have to adhere to the cover style of Pocket's books.
