2026 Novel Releases

[Enterprise1701]

The solicitation blurb for The Peacemakers strongly implies it will be different interpretation from IDW's recent Star Trek comic series, which is no great surprise. However, this does serve as an interesting contrast to Firewall, which offhandedly pointed out Harry Kim was off doing something, though I do not know if that was a specific nod to the contemporary IDW comics or to the author's own hope for another novel.

What it boils down to is if there are no plans to create new Kelvin TV/film content, then anything a writer may decide to do with the Kelvin characters (for now, and aside from plots similar to non-Kelvin Trek productions) is possible.

No plans can become plans down the road, however.

When I wrote an original UNDERWORLD novel inbetween the first and second movies, I was instructed to do a prequel, in large part to avoid stepping on the toes of the second movie which was still in development. At the time, there were no plans to go backward in time to do a prequel onscreen.

Jump ahead to the third movie, Rise of the Lycans, which was (surprise!) a prequel movie that completely contradicted my earlier novel -- written and approved long before Rise of the Lycans was a gleam in anyone's eyes.

So I ended up in the peculiar position of novelizing movie that rendered my previous novel apocryphal. This resulted in at least one hilarious Amazon review:


"GREG COX: MAKE UP YOUR MIND!"

During the writing process, they're free to create without knowing any details of future plans or feeling the weight of the imminence of impending future plans.

Huh. Y'know, it seems all so long ago now, but it actually took less than a decade from the conclusion of Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1994 for Star Trek: Stargazer novel series to debut in earnest in 2002. I wonder if Captain Philippa Georgiou will need that long to get a dedicated prequel series.

Heck, I'd still like some more Stargazer novels, even now.

Admittedly, since the Stargazer series only covered Picard's first year or so in command, there's still twenty-plus years more or less wide open. Of course, the number of openings for such a novel in the annual line-up these days isn't so wide open, so...

I think it was actually just six months, one month per novel.

Would there ever be a market for those novels, versus more Picard ones?

I would prefer Stargazer (lost era) novels over picards books, so here's one

Given the disastrous Section 31 streaming film's attempt to launch a new Rachel Garrett actress circa 2324, I wonder if anyone at CBS-Paramount also has any idea in the pipeline to find Patrick Stewart's Chris Pine-Paul T. Wesley.

Now that I think about it, I feel sad Kacey Rohl landed terrible circumstances just as Alden Ehrenrich and Donald Glover did, though Joonas Suotamo has had a bit more luck.

Well I prefer lost Era books over Star Trek shows so I have no problem with that. I had more fun reading any Splinter timeline book then any of the new Star Trek tv shows

More TOS/Move era books. YMMV.

We've already known about that one for a while now.

Just read the synopsis to Defy Fate and it sounds like it could relate to Star Trek Coda in some way. If so it would be easily the most interesting sounding Picard novel to date.
