Star Trek: Indistinguishable From Magic in spring 2011

[ProwlAlpha]

I concur

 

[Deranged Nasat]

Sorry to simply repeat what a hundred others have said, but that is indeed a really nice cover.

 

[fleetcaptain]

Sweet cover indeed. Nice to finally see the Challenger again. Got me wonder what kind of crew she has.

 

[Angstromdweller]

Starfleet?

Starfleet?

Mostly...

 

[ProwlAlpha]

Its made up of David Copperfield clones to parlay with the magic theme.

We all know that every Starfleet ship has to have at least one token weirdo alien like Spock, Arex, M'Ress, Data, Odo, Nano, Keenser, Anschloss, dozens of other unnamed ones, and so forth.

Who's Challenger's token alien gonna be?

A Nausican counsellor? A Tholian doctor? One of Diane Duane's old talking space dolphins as the XO?

 

[JD]

Don't forget about P8 Blue, and Zak Kebron.

 

[Avro Arrow]

Gorgeous cover, and the blurb certainly sounds interesting... loves me some ancient mysteries. Looking forward to this one.

burgoyne surely.


who's 'nano'?

 

[F. King Daniel]

^Mr. Nano was a pyrokinetic alien on Captain Pike's Enterprise crew in the Early Voyages comic.

Pyro-freaking-kinetic!!

Well, Nog and Guinan already *are* aliens...

 

[F. King Daniel]

I had totally forgotten that Nog and Guinan were aliens .

One could argue that they are simply not alien enough.

 

[TerraUnam]

No, the pressing question is what the Challenger's crew lounge is called, the equivalent of Ten-Forward.

The book features Scotty, Guinan and Nog. You just know they're going there.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Anything has to be better than "The Happy Bottom Riding Club".

Anything.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Anything.

All right, one genuine actual answer about the book:

Spoiler: Challenger's crew lounge name

Nelson's

And, yes, I know it's Shuttlebay 4 in the Shatnerverse, but... that's a different 'verse!

 

[F. King Daniel]

It is better than Happy Bottom Riding Club!

 

[BillJ]

I'm confused by it being called a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel?

 

[Crewman Wunline]

OK, I've been given the nod to go public about this...

So, 24th Century, current to the prime lit timeline. What generation? Well, a bit of a mixture, actually- On points it'd be mostly TNG, but as it headlines Geordi, Scotty, Nog and Guinan, with some other familiar faces and guest stars, it's going under a more general "Star Trek" header.

Could be a bit of a doorstop - it was pitched as a duology and commissioned as one book - but you'll know within a year...

Yay.

Hey, you had me at "Guinan"! I look forward to seeing it,and will gladly read whatever you produce--don't worry about flaws; those who genuinely love the subject matter will willingly look past them.
