2020 titles announced

[dupersuper]

So sort of like a sitcom.

Still, I wouldn't rule out the occasional novel--if the show pans out like the trailer it would be a much different type of Star Trek novel, a comedic one. It might be a fun novel to write for the right author.

Who knows, maybe one of our resident authors would jump at the chance to write that type of novel.

Peter David's good at funny Star Trek...

 

[Avro Arrow]

I really don't see a half-hour animated sitcom getting a 350 page trade paperback novel.

Maybe this series would be a good reason to resurrect the shorter eBook-exclusive stories.

 

[Ronald Held]

Why comics for LDS very novellas?

 

[Greg Cox]

Why comics for LDS very novellas?

Because Spock did too much LDS in the sixties?

(Seriously, what does "LDS" mean in this context?)

 

[Christopher]

(Seriously, what does "LDS" mean in this context?)

Apparently it's the initialism for Lower Decks.

 

[Damian]

Apparently it's the initialism for Lower Decks.

I don't understand his statement. I think he might be speaking Yoda but I'm not sure.

 

[Jinn]

(Seriously, what does "LDS" mean in this context?)

Someone involved production made a tweet about LDS being the acronym for Lower Decks, which might have been serious, or a joke harkening back to Star Trek IV or both.

Yes, he and KRAD had a good sense of humor in their novels. I could see either one of them having a lot of fun with a Lower Decks novel if it is indeed a comedy show.

But who knows, maybe Christopher, Greg Cox or any of our other current writers would love to write a funny novel. Let their hair down

 

[Christopher]

I don't understand his statement. I think he might be speaking Yoda but I'm not sure.

If you mean Ronald Held's question, I think he meant "versus" instead of "very." Probably a spellcheck problem.

 

[Damian]

Ah. Ok, thanks. Makes sense now.

 

[JD]

So sort of like a sitcom.

Not sort of.
The whole concept behind the show is that it's an adult animated comedy along the lines of the stuff on Fox's Animation Domination block or Adult Swim. The showrunner is even one of the main writers for Rick & Morty.

 

[The Wormhole]

And the TNG Season 8 Twitter Feed.

 

[JD]

Oh yeah, that too. I never read that or the book, so I keep forgetting about it.

 

[The Wormhole]

If Lower Decks is even half as funny as that, it's going to be damn hilarious.

 

[Ronald Held]

If you mean Ronald Held's question, I think he meant "versus" instead of "very." Probably a spellcheck problem.

Yes, spell check got me yet again.

 

[Greg Cox]

Apparently it's the initialism for Lower Decks.

Ah. I hadn't see that yet.

 

[Therin of Andor]

If you look at the cover on the Kindle page it does say "Edited by Una McCormack", so it looks like the change is legit. Something like that wouldn't happen if it was just a mistake on Amazon's part. I checked the websites for Titan, who published the other autobiographies, and Penguin, who is listed on the Spock book's Amazon page, and neither of them have the book listed.

Una just confirmed my question on Facebook that she is now doing the Spock title in addition to the Janeway title.

 

[DS9forever]

Una just confirmed my question on Facebook that she is now doing the Spock title in addition to the Janeway title.

Hope she gets round to writing a Sisko autobiography as well! I have to say, it stung to see Una writing for Voyager. If it has been Beyer I probably wouldn't have minded.

 

[Therin of Andor]

If it has been Beyer I probably wouldn't have minded.

We assume that Kirsten Beyer has her hands full. "Discovery", "Picard", one more (delayed) VOY novel, and providing storylines and guidance for IDW comics about DSC and PIC.

With the Janeway biography it’ll be interesting to compare the first part of it with “Mosaic” and “Pathways”, since those 2 books were written in the 90’s but only went up-to Season 4/5.
