I am intrigued by this one and hopeful that an ebook version that is significantly less than $60 will be made available.
Farther down in Editorial Reviews, it lists them:
Derek Tyler Attico
Michael Dismuke
Kelli Fitzpatrick

It's a DK book, so it may be heavy on graphics and layouts that won't work well in an ebook format.
DK has done many ebook versions of their titles, including Star Wars Timelines. Some work better on a Kindle Fire for initial size and zooming. From a quick glance, it seems like it's mostly titles with stickers or coloring that are only available in physical format. My guess is that there will be an ebook listing by the time September rolls around.
I was just looking over my bookcase and realized that it’s been a decade since we got “Patterns of Interference” in the Enterprise line in 2017. That’s one TV series that has not yet entered the trade paperback era (yes I know that Enterprise got a trade paperback release of “The Expanse” in 2003 and “Beneath The Raptor’s Wing” in 2009 but that later got a mass market paperback in 2011. But those were the exceptions as those were issued as essentially the hardcover-equivalent that earlier series received for some novels). Otherwise, we haven’t had any Enterprise novels set during the series in two decades since 2006’s “Last Full Measure”.
I wonder how much longer we’ll have to wait (like will it be 2051 before we get a new novel) for more in the Enterprise: Rise of the Federation line or just a book set during the series.

The Rise of the Federation line is probably done, just as all the novel original series are, even the ones that didn't have their existence negated in Coda. As for a new Enterprise novel in general, probably a while. For the most part, the only "Legacy Era" shows which get new novels are TOS and TNG, though we are getting a new DS9 novel later this year. Still, Enterprise was one of the lesser popular Trek shows, and with only three novels being released a year now, I don't see it being prioritized for a novel anytime soon.
Don't worry, we'll see novels in a similar vein when they start doing tie-ins for the new "President Archer" series. Which I'm sure will be greenlit any day now.
Aaaaaaany day now.
Do those Rise of the Federation books tie up loose ends and finish? Or is it all left hanging for a continuation that never came?
Neither. Patterns of Interference was not a "finish" to the series, as I hoped to do more, but it doesn't end in a cliffhanger and it does resolve some of the major threads from the previous books. There were longer-term character and story arcs that I'd hoped to develop in further books, so not everything gets resolved, but enough does that it works as a satisfactory stopping point.
After all, I usually got the ROTF contracts one at a time, with the exception of books 3 & 4, which were contracted together so I knew going in that I could make them a 2-parter. And I think I already had that contract while I was writing book 2, so I was able to end it with a tease for the next book. But when I was contracted for book 5, I didn't know whether I'd get to do any more, and I did want it to be a climax to some of the main story threads.
Just in general, I've been frustrated in the past by novel trilogies whose installments just abruptly stopped at what felt like arbitrary points and left me dangling for a year or two before the next installment, so it's always been my policy that if I write a trilogy or series, I structure it so that it naturally breaks down into distinct parts so that each installment tells a complete phase of the story from beginning to end and has a satisfactory resolution, rather than just feeling like a fragment of a story.
Good to know, thank you
Christopher, would you like to continue ROTF or jump forward to see pre Federation president Archer?

In one visit to Amazon I noticed the $60 Timelines price tag and the $18 60th anniversary comic price tag.

I've seen some things on Amazon get cut down a fair chunk after release, when it's not shiny and new, and I've also seen some things enter Amazon at a heightened price that drops down by the time it releases.
Basically, if the price is too steep now, don't be surprised if it's lowered closer to/not long after release.
Of course, then you have things like, say, the Cyberpunk 2077 Library edition of several of the comics that released like a couple of years ago, I believe, and was still in the forty-fifty range back when I got it back around Christmas... Sometimes, it's just a crapshoot.
Is there already a thread for this December release somewhere?
