Maybe a little early, but should there be several novels to commemorate the 60Th anniversary?
2026 TOS novels
- Thread starter Ronald Held
- Start date
Looking over the threads from 2020s, the earliest we've gotten any news about any novels for the next year is April of the previous year, though June tends to be the most common timeframe. Meanwhile, a 60th anniversary novel is most likely to be released in or around September, in which case we wouldn't hear about it until February of 2026. So yeah, definitely too early to hear about anything at this point.
And given the state of the novels these days, I'd only expect one novel to celebrate the 60th anniversary. From S&S anyway, I guess it's possible Titan might also release something like a new autobiography of a character, but that's the extent of 60th anniversary celebrations I'm expecting in prose form.

Perhaps a reprint of a previous publication.
By 2026 they'll be releasing half a book per year. By 2026 they'll have announced and quietly cancelled 3 more Star Trek theatrical movies. By 2026 the only Trek on the air will probably the Office/Risa comedy show, which will defy all odds to become a huge hit and doom any non-office-comedy future Trek projects.
I would hope by 2026, we would be 4 to 6 novels that year.
You joke, but most of the written Trek content now is in serialized comic book form and I could see them moving into the webtoons type of system where we get 20 panels a month of new content.
Any change cutting back of comics will free up more money for novels??
^ I’m not in the industry, but I don’t think it works like that? IDW is a completely separate company from S&S. if IDW was to cut back their comics, it would just mean less Trek fiction overall. I don’t think it would change what S&S does in any way.
Exactly, novels and comics are published by two different companies, cutting back on one will not make room for the other.
Remember when the rights for Trek novels were up in the air for a bit? I wonder if we'd be getting more novels now if someone else took over.
Maybe we can start a crowd funding and buy the rights!! Then we can choose under my fair and democratic leadership what kind of Star trek books we want!
Exactly. And, just to be clear, IDW and S&S pay CBS for the privilege of publishing Trek fiction, not the other way around, and they absorb all the production costs themselves. CBS does not not subsidize the books and comics out of some sort of general "Trek fiction" budget.
So IDW writing fewer checks out of their own pocket would not mean more funds for S&S.

Broken record poster still want more TOS novels for the anniversary.
Rather have novels!!
It is a big crossover, but from what I've seen it doesn't seem to be tied into the 60th anniversary.
What is "Lore War"?
