When it comes to the Enterprise novels Christopher Bennett right now there area no new plans for them to wrap up the Rise of the Federation books right now. That Margaret asked him to write Tos books for now he mentioned it here in one of the book threads I read the other day.
Spoilers VOY: To Lose The Earth by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread

Yeah, I don't foresee any new Enterprise books, though I hope I'm wrong.
Though I thought we'd never see another DS9 book so I guess you never know (though granted that's a series era novel probably with nothing to do with the relaunches).
Enterprise has the only relaunch narrative largely untouched by any new shows (not sure about every last detail, but nothing significant at least). It is the one series that could continue as is if they ever decide to.
I hope they do. Christopher left a number of potential story lines open that I'd like to see continued someday.
I won't hold my breath, but I'll hold out a little hope for Enterprise.
Could another author take up the ENT novels? 4 chapters in and have no idea how things tie together.
If Dulmer is a Assissant Director,can that be edited in the Kindle version?

I'd be glad if we got new Enterprise books too if Christopher Bennet or another writer wanted to wrap up the Rise of the Federation book series too. Getting back to the Voyager book I really what I've read in the first few chapters of characters reacting to the events of what happen in the previous Voyager book. It's well written and holding my attention.I can't put this book down.
Just finished. So, this is the end of the TrekLit continuity.
I am pleased that storylines were wrapped up and the open ending works both as an ending to VOY, and leaving the door open if this continuity was ever picked up again.
So, it's this galaxy, isn't it? Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_Dwarf_Spheroidal_Galaxy

I am not ashamed to admit that this end brought tears to my eyes. Kirsten's work has been the best that Trek novels has to offer and I pray we get more one day.
As of right now, but we keep getting hints that they want to do something more.
Just finished it at lunch. Enjoyed it a lot, though some of it was rather sad
We'll have her on Literary Treks and the episode will be out on Sunday!
Do we think that the Krenim storyline will be the way they merge the storylines with what we see in Picard?
KRENIM SCIENTIST #1: [accidently sets off a temporal shockwave] Uh oh.
KRENIM SCIENTIST #2: Eh, I'm sure it's fine.
RIGHT!?
"Hang on. Let me try something...."
So I finished To Lose The Earth. First, that title I’m still ‘scratching my head’ over it. The Earth wasn’t even a plot point, so there was no Earth to lose. And there was no battle, so there was no “Earth” to lose, so what was the title referring to?
Second, the last chapter felt like it was written by two different authors with different writing styles, which led to it feeling rushed. It felt like the wedding was written by someone else. The cadence and beat felt off and it reminded me of ‘Macbeth‘ and the Hecate/witches scenes.
Three, Kirsten Beyer definitely left some dangling plot threads like how Voyager survives the Inter-Galaxia journey. Also the DTI story.
Rating: 6.5/10

I would guess it's quoting Thomas Wolfe from You Can't Go Home Again:
"Something has spoken to me in the night, burning the tapers of the waning year; something has spoken in the night, and told me I shall die, I know not where. Saying: “To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth.
"Whereon the pillars of this earth are founded, toward which the conscience of the world is tending -- a wind is rising, and the rivers flow.”
That's literally the epigraph of the novel.
This needs a sequel, a certain officer needs to catch a break in his life
A truly enjoyable read - for me the right way to end the Voyager novels (I was moved when I got to the last page) as I can just imagine what the future may hold for the Voyager crew. I agree with previous commentators that the ending seem rushed; such a decision to determine to go or not into the unknown and yet everyone seemed to only have a few moments to decide - I completely agree with Paris on his view but wish that was fleshed out a bit.
While the characterisation of the non-series Voyager crew was written very well I kind of wish that, as this is probably the last novel, that not so much time was spent on them - I certainly feel that Gwyn's storyline should have been reduced and the climax of Conlon's should have been made a lot earlier. However despite this I still think the story is outstanding and it was a privilege to read - thank you Kristen.
