New (final?) Children of the Storm blurb

[JD]

I just got an ok from Kirsten Beyer to post this new CotS blurb I found while looking around on the Pocket Catalog.

“YOU WERE TOLD NOT TO RETURN TO OUR SPACE.” Little is known about the Children of the Storm—one of the most unique and potentially dangerous species the Federation has ever encountered. Non-corporeal and traveling through space in vessels apparently propelled by thought alone, the Children of the Storm at one time managed to destroy thousands of Borg ships without firing a single conventional weapon. Now in its current mission to the Delta Quadrant, Captain Chakotay and Fleet Commander Afsarah Eden must unravel whythree Federation starships—the U.S.S. Quirinal, Planck, and Demeter—have suddenly been targeted without provocation and with extreme prejudice by the powerful Children of the Storm . . . with thousands of Starfleet lives at stake from an enemy that the Federation can only begin to comprehend. . . .

Sounds great to me. I'm really glad to hear that the storyline is going to be dealing with some of the other ships in the Full Circle fleet. I'm also really curious to see the first full story with B'Elanna, Chakotay, and Eden in their current positions. I can't wait for this one!

 

[DeVario]

Sounds like Beyer will be 3 for 3 so far! I'm definitely picking this up.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Kertrats47]

Sounds really interesting! I really have to read "Unworthy" as soon as I've finished "Indistinguishable From Magic."

 

[Thrawn]

Yep. This is gonna be awesome.

 

[GalaxyClass1701]

Are they an alien from VOY it's been awhile since I've watched?

 

[Christopher]

^They're a species briefly encountered in the Destiny trilogy.

Oh thats right, before the battle with the Hirogen.

 

[Plaristes]

Sounds great. Definitely looking forward to this.

 

[Turbo]

This is really looking good. Can't wait!

 

[timothy]

so is this a destiny tie in ?

 

[David Mack]

^ It's part of the same ongoing literary continuity, if that's what you're asking.

 

[JD]

It's also a continuation of the story from Full Circle, and Unworthy.

Oh thats right, before the battle with the Hirogen.

Would anyone who knows specifically what page in the book that the encounter with the Children begins share it with the class?

In 'Mere Mortals' ~ page 221 to 226.

 

[Epsilon IX]

I guess we'll just have to find out, but those life forms in question seem a reasonable guess!

Thanks, pardner!

 

[Kertrats47]

Aw, man... I don't remember them, and all of my Star Trek books are in a box on the other side of the Pacific Ocean! I can't for the life of me remember "The Children of the Storm"...

 

[TerraUnam]

It was a very, very brief mention in destiny. You won't miss anything. Kirsten Beyer could and very likely will 'bring you to speed' in the first few pages of her new book.

You aren't missing much. Their role in Destiny was a cameo.

 

[Thrawn]

Out of curiosity, do we have a cover for this yet? It's coming out next month, I would think they would've had to decide on one.

(Also: this comes out next month! I'm really excited.)
