If you could make a wish as to new books.....

A series of TOS books that basically only considers TOS as source material (like Byrne's earlier TOS comics).
I'd be up for that. It'd be neat to see a version of the Eugenics Wars that takes the opposite tack of Greg Cox's Khan books and tells about the Eugenics Wars as an open conflict instead of a secret war. (And in keeping with only using TOS as a source material, these Eugenics Wars would be the same thing as WWIII.)
The Autobiography of Yeoman Rand. A trashy tell-all.
I thought that was Susan Sackett's book. ;)
 
I'd really like to see the Incredible Cross-Section and Locations books they've done for Star Wars done for Star Trek. I think if they were done with the same levels of attention to detail and imagination, they could make for some really spiffy books.
 
I would like to read some new Trek literature about the era of missions with the Daedalus class ships. I wouldn't mind a thorough illustrated technical manual of that vessel, and a soft variant of the classic uniforms of Green, Blue, and Peach from the days from The Cage.
 
More books on Enterprise set during the shows run. I like the Romulan War and post-war stuff, don't get me wrong, but I really want more of Captain Archer.
 
I really want a Lower Decks Discovery novel hugging Airiam, Detmer, Rhys etc. I would preorder immediately.

The Kelvinverse Khan comic does appear to go in that direction.

Hopefully all the books will be set during their shows' runs from now on. The 24th century in particular got waaaaay out of hand.
 
Not sure I understand the price point; yes the bigger shaped books seem to be a little bigger and are priced accordingly, but other new books of this style jumped to 9.99, not $16, so don't quite get that part.
They're changing to trade paperbacks (the same format as the Discovery novels or the anthologies of yore), not the slightly-taller MMPBs you're thinking of.

That's one way to get me to stop reading.
 
as do the SNW short stories "The Immortality Blues"
(where Gary Seven survives the nuclear destruction of NYC during World War III)

About that...

Actually, it's Flint from "Requiem for Methuselah", not Gary Seven.

Woops, yeah, good catch, there. Typed that message out in a rush the other day, and mentally transposed
Gary for Flint, the story taking place in NYC (though I think Flint does access Gary's equipment from the TV episode in the story at one point).

I hope not, I love the relaunches. I would love to see them toss in an occasional book set back during the series, but I wouldn't want to completely get rid of the relaunches. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that there will be some way to keep them around once the Picard series starts.
 
I've said this before, but I'd love a comic or novel series to seriously reboot TOS, exempt from any existing continuity of any timeline. I think there's a lot of potential to do fun, crazy things with the characters which CBS/Paramount don't yet have the courage to do on-screen.
 
I'm reading the Mirror universe of treklit a post Rise like Lions novel would be interesting, see how the Galactic Commonwealth is doing.
 
I think they have popped up in one or two of the Prime Universe novels that have come out since RLL.
Discovery is making me want a series with it's versions of Pike, Spock, and Number One.
