Oh the irony that Trek Lit's producers might start acting more like a Cyberpunk corp than an institution from the Trek universe.
Disposable employees...BAH! If we had the stones, we'd ban the practice.
Is it possible that they will use freelance editors instead of replacing Margret as it's cheaper?
Gutted. Totally gutted. The relaunch books from just after Voyager and DS9 ended were good, but the more recent books (under Marco and Margaret's guidance) have been utterly superb. Just hoping that the new guys do as fantastic a job as Marco and Margaret have.
Can I ask a stupid question.
Judging by the sheer amount of work that Margaret has dealt with (and other editors before her) would it really be economical to "farm it all out" to freelance editors? I would have thought (though I don;t know...) it would be even more expensive.
You don't have to pay freelancers as much...no health insurance, no perks etc. Freelancers get paid on a book-by-book or series basis, AFAIK, so it does work out cheaper, hence the reason the US DoD farms out everything to the lowest bidder...let's hope that whoever takes over editorial duties (if it isn't Ed or Jen) isn't as creatively bankrupt as Hollywood.
Ah right, yeah that would make sense!
No, the Miami and NY licenses were discontinued because the books didn't sell well enough. The decision was made loooong before the economic mishegoss.
I stand corrected...I loved the Miami and NY books, dagnabit.
Another license that was discontinued

Not too surprising, given that the show was cancelled six years ago.
It's very rare for the book series to outlast the tv show for long. STAR TREK is the exception to the rule.
And some series don't even get tie-in novels. Man, I would kill to read some NCIS novels, preferably written by Dayton.
But as far as I know Bellisario is against having tie-in books.

Perhaps because the Quantum Leap tie-in novels were rather revisionist?
Yeah, I'd love to have done one for The Shield...
I'd loved to have done one for Rome.
And I'd have loved to have seen one (or many) for Jericho. 
Are we getting any more 4400 tie-in novels?
What about any other lines that Pocket do?

Promises Broken, the fourth (and, for the foreseeable future, last) novel of The 4400 will be published next month.

I think he revised his own bible once a week on the show. So how could the books be any more revisionist?
