Episode follow up stories

The upcoming TOS film novel Lost To Eternity follows up on the aftermath of Gillian Taylor's disappearance.
I have to admit, I'm really looking forward to that one. I love the TOS movie area generally and I've always thought the further adventures of fish out of water Gillian Taylor would be interesting.

And it's a story that couldn't have been told in quite the same way until now, given the rampant popularity of true crime podcasts.
 
Yeah, I watched some of this morning, but only made it about half way through before I started having trouble with Paramount+, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna finish it. I have feeling I saw enough to get the point.
 
This isn't a suggestion but a hypothetical, "I want." I really feel the books do the job of the Clone Wars TV show for NuTrek. Which is to say that the Prequels kind of suck without something to fill in the political, social, and economic context of so much of what is on the screen but once you have the cartoon doing so--it's actually one of the best periods in the setting.

If you can ignore my THE LAST BEST HOPE fopah, I think I'd love to see some more books detail things like the Klingon War and other details left out.

One of my favorite episodes of SNW was "Under the Cloak of War." I'd love to see one of the authors tackle Dah'Rak and the battle of J'Gal. I'd love a M'Benga novel or perhaps a M'Benga/Nurse Chapel novel. I'm sure people have already considered it too.

Mind you, I feel like a major part of what makes Under the Cloak of War so good might be ruined with a definitive answer to whether Dah'Rak was sincerely repentent or a monstrous hypocrite.

To go with the Clone Wars stuff, I'd love some more Klingon War stuff that DISCO kind of ran past and SNW did a lot more with in just a couple of episodes.
 
The issue with the books filling in all the gaps and side stories of the new shows is that they are released so slowly. One book per year per show if you’re lucky. So the number of opportunities for these “fill in the gaps or side stories” to be told grows far faster than ideas get knocked off that list.
