Vanguard: Precipice extract in Star Trek Magazine 22

The weeks fly by and a new issue of Star Trek Magazine is about to hit the shelves. This one's a 100 page special, tying in with the overarching Villains theme that is running over all of Titan's magazines released around now.

There's a lot of TrekLit in this issue with authors Bill Leisner, KRAD, Christopher L Bennett, Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, DRG III, LoneMagpie David McIntee, Bob Greenberger, Andy Mangels, David Mack and Greg Cox all contributing pieces on various villains - with Mack, Ward, DRG and some guy you may have heard of by the name of Marco Palmieri chiming in about seven memorable TrekLit villains (which includes Marshak & Culbreath's own take on Omne). Mr Mack also introduces an extract from an early chapter of the latest Vanguard novel, Precipice.

There's also an in depth interview with Nicholas Meyer, and an intro to the villains piece by Lance Parkin, and for those of you interested in Star Trek: The Art of the Film, there's a mini interview with its writer, Mark Cotta Vaz, as well as a pull out 8 page supplement featuring some of the shots there simply wasn't enough room for in the book. Add in reviews of all the novels out this fall and a special Letters column in which Orci and Kurtzman answer some of the most regularly asked questions about the new movie, and it's a bumper package.

It should start hitting newsstands in the next few days, and in the UK in early November.

Very Cool, I can't wait to get this one. When should US subscribers get their issues?
 
No wonder it's a 100 page special, DRGIII is contributing. How many pages did you limit him to? ;)

I'm looking forward to this one.

Since I'm likely to still be in the UK, instead of in the US with my fiancée, I would normally make my usual protest, but I'm too depressed to. I'll get it when it comes.

As and when you suggest a viable solution, I'm happy to put it to the powers that be!!

Regarding subs copies in the US, I believe they'll be out later next week. The actual street date is 3rd November - I thought it was next week, but it's actually a week later than I thought. I received my editor's copies today and Dan Bura, the designer, has done one hell of a job on it!

^The only solution doesn't exist yet.

Failing the invention of the transporter...I see nothing.

Sadly, agreed.

One thing I forgot in all the excitement about the villains issue is that Marco is the writer of this month's Eye of the Beholder... finally find out who HE thinks made a good villain!
 
FYI, issue #22 has been spotted out in the wild. (If you consider a B&N in suburban Minneapolis as "the wild".) (Which I suppose many east coasters probably do.)
 
I got mine Tuesday, and so far I've really enjoyed this issue. I'm almost done with the list, and so far I've agreed with the picks and enjoyed the individual entries.
 
^ The magazine or Vanguard: Precipice? Precipice has an official on-sale date of November 24, but it will probably be available from online sellers such as Amazon and B&N a week or two before then.
 
I got my issue the other day and it's nice to see so many star trek novels mentioned in this magazine. I also like the art from the new Startrek movie.
 
Has ANYONE in the UK, specifically London, got their magazine yet?

I'm still waiting for mine, and early November is fast becoming mid-November.

Out in the sticks (well Bath way) we havn't got it, but that was on Tuesday when I last had a look in my local WHSmiths.

They're not technically due until next week, so I would hope subs copies are on their way this weekend.
