Star Trek novels in 2010, starting with "Inception" this January

[GhostFaceSaint]

So what is the buzz about the novels coming out in 2010? Will Alan Dean Foster be the only one to write in the new Star Trek universe from the film (XI)?

Will Inception; the first Star Trek book due to be published in 2010 be set in the Prime universe or the new one? All that I know about it is that it is supposed to be from Pocket Books, by S.D. Perry, with characters like Carol Marcus, and Leila Kalomi.

So does anyone have anymore information about this particular publishing season?

Cool, I will, thanks!

We'll most likely find out at Shore Leave this weekend

ADF seems to be implying his will be at least the first if not only JJ-verse novel and he's just working on it now, so that'd make Inception - which would have been delivered by now if it's due out in January - surely set in the Prime timeline. The presence of Carol Marcus and Leila Kalomi would suggest that as well

What's the next book in TNG to follow Losing the Peace?

Also, I hope someone's nice enough to post the 2010 lineup on here shortly after the announcements with links if any.

I was told in another thread that there will be no TNG until the Typhon Pact mini-series

I just hope he doesn't royally fuck it up like he did with his Star Wars book Splinter of the Mind's Eye. It was so bad, so piss-poorly written, I've never been able to read a Star Wars book since then.

He only wrote one other one and they're both completely incidental. Why let that ruin the rest for you?!

Also: it wasn't really that bad.

It wasn't good either though. Seriously, it could have been much better.

Hmm... how many of the people who didn't like Splinter read it in 1978? It's like reading, say, Spock Must Die or Mission to Horatius for the first time now instead of 30 or 40 years ago. It was a product of a different world. (One in which, among other things, no one yet knew Luke and Leia were brother and sister. Including Lucas, I suspect.)

Aren't they already awake and active?

Well, I didn't create the list. I'm just repeating what was in the book....

It's probably referring to our finding out whether the Pact will start a war or not...but that's just my take on it.

Well, back in '78 Splinter was pretty good stuff, IMO. In retrospect, it has been pretty-much squashed by the continuity that came afterward. Not ADF's fault. I doubt that at the the time the book was written that Lucas (or anyone else) really had a firm idea of where things were going to go in the SW universe.

Luke's sister, originally, was supposed to be in training on the opposite side of the galaxy. The Sequel Trilogy would have revolved around her.

But when Lucas decided he needed a "Gotcha!" moment on the level of "Luke, I am your father" for Jedi, he settled on making Leia the "another" that Yoda and Obi-Wan talked about at the end of Empire.

Man, that sounds so much better than what we did get...

Google "Secret History of Star Wars." There's a PDF book floating around out there that has the answers you seek.
