    Simon & Schuster have updated the catalog page for the next (and final) Romulan War novel, To Brave the Storm, with a new cover.

    A squadron of NXs, Daedalus-class ships, and some DY-100s against a group of Birds-of-Prey. It's certainly much more dynamic than the previous temp covers, or the one we got for Beneath the Raptor's Wing...

    Meh. Micheal Martin's name on the cover kills it for me.

    Interesting cover... though I find it odd to see a DY class ship on the cover involved in an interstellar battle.

    What class ship is that in the upper left-hand corner?

    Maybe they're a freighter convoy that the Starfleet ships are defending.


    That's one of the NX-class ships.

    Its only because I enjoy Trek and I am a completist would I read this novel, but I agree with Bill J.

    The phaser beams are the wrong colour!!:mad:

    This is a cool cover. Trek needs more epic space battle novel covers.

    They could even outsource the making of covers of Trekbbs.

    My guess would be because Seize the Fire, Martin's other solo effort, was so terrible; also, from what I've gathered on these boards, the Enterprise Romulan War series isn't well-liked (or, at least, the people who don't like it are more vocal about it.)

    Finally, an ENT cover with some pizzazz. I liked The Good that Men Do's well enough, but this one will catch some eyes in the bookstore.

    One of the coolest Trek covers in quite a while. Looking forward to it.

    They do seem to be executing the Sir Robin Manoeuvre. ;)

    I have to agree with you there, Seize the fire was terrible

    I dunno... I miss the olden days with covers that were more than photomanips and starship fights. Don't get me wrong, I'm into the techie end of things, so the occassional starship covers (for example, I love Vanguard's covers) are fine... but I have to admit missing the variety (and yes, at times, campyness) that at times set apart the early Trek covers.

    For example, I am reading Time for Yesterday at the moment. Spock's uniform looks too tight, the black strip on the flap is too narrow and improperly positioned, and the shoulder strap is far too diminuitive, and yet it instills somewhat more consideration than many recent covers.

    Of course, it could just be the sentimentalist in me too...
