    Spoilers TTN: Fortune Of War by David Mack Review Thread

    So Husnock had trilithium based munitions capable of creating a sub space shockwave that could destroy planets in-system, eh? I've been curious if the whole "Hobus was really triggered by a weapon" thing might migrate over from STO at some point. This is def adding more evidence to the pile.

    Spoilers Discovery and the Novelverse - TV show discussion thread

    I'm really excited to see if things like the mycelial network and/or the tardigrades might make their way into 24th century treklit at any point, although obviously the fact that spore drive technology isn't a thing in TOS or any point after and episode five's release of Ripper makes us assume...

    ENT - Rise of the Federation: Patterns of Interference by Christopher L. Bennett pre-release thread

    Yes! So excited for this. The RotF series has rocketed to the top of my "most anticipated" list since its inception. I was afraid that we might not get a fifth book this year what with CLBIII's Face of the Unknown (yay!) and the new DTI novella (double yay!) coming out as well. I'm particularly...

    Spoilers DTI: Time Lock by Christopher Bennett Review Thread

    Knocked it out this afternoon! Loved it, as with the rest of the series of DTI books. So, clearly there's a hint of a Armageddon's Arrow by Dayton Ward had a similar theme. Is there a concerted push towards something here? I know we've got a trilogy coming up that concerns a far-reaching...

    Legal situation concerning the new TV series

    Super excited. This seems (IMHO) like best option. You've got ten years of fresh territory, plus, if more shows continue this Trek story, or we have a Supernatural situation, a parallel narrative to TOS would be, in a word...fascinating. ;) That aside, this also seems like a good play for the...

    Legal situation concerning the new TV series

    I'm pretty confident that most inconsistencies between what we've seen in the novels and what we'll see on-screen in Discovery can be reconciled, as long as it is a prequel, which I believe it to be, and as has obviously been suggested, or it is set concurrently with TOS or immediately following...

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    I think Pegg, Jung, and Lin made a narrative decision and now they're kind of mishandling a sci-fi explanation for that decision and it's muddying the waters. I think the Kelvin was always intended to be the jump off point for the new reality in terms of where it deviates and will always...

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    Christopher, just wondering what your thoughts may be on including any subtle references to the Franklin or the crew uniforms featured in Star Trek Beyond in future RotF novels.I know the author's hands are often tied in terms of presenting material from the Kelvin Timeline, but I know you've...

    Spoilers TOS: Legacies: Book 1: Captain to Captain by Greg Cox Review Thread

    I'm loving all the fun references to past adventures by April's Enterprise, like the stilt-walking species and Lieutenant Emmett's seeming transformation. The Trekverse can feel so small sometimes when we limit the scope to just the few crews we've seen on-screen. I love when a new crew is...

    Spoilers TOS: Elusive Salvation by Dayton Ward Review Thread

    When Roberta asks Kirk about a driving a car, he frowns and says that there's "Been some debate about that." Is this a reference to young Kirk's driving off a cliff in the 09 film, or is this referencing something else? The quote was kind of vague so I wasn't sure what everyone's thoughts were.

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    ^There we go. Sorry, I do most of my posting during breaks in my workday and often don't have immediate access to all the books. I will say, I thought a "Littlejohn Room" was referenced in Articles, but it is very possible that I am mistaken.

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    ^It would be fun to see a post-Enterprise recanonized version of Michael Jan Friedman's Alonis Cobaryn in a role like that. I know you have said that you decided to steer clear of that continuity as it can't really be reconciled with what we've seen on-screen and in the Martin/Mangels novels...

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    Christopher I guess I assumed Sam was bisexual because there was a scene between him and Valeria where she says something about Grev and Kirk says something along the lines of wishing he could find him attractive. I guess I took this as Kirk also is attracted to men, but not Tellarite men, or...

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    I mean, nothing, it just seemed a little weird out of context. But, I believe, and someone correct me if I'm missing anyone--Sam Kirk was outed as bisexual, Grev was shown to have an unrequited crush on Sam, Travis Mayweather has been depicted as bisexual as per the last RotF novel, the Arkenite...

    So right Christopher. Also, whoops. Sorry for getting close to the line, y'all! I shall reel it in. I shall keep it in my head-canon. ;)

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    His story just seems like the most epic story possible and he might literally be the key to immortality in the galaxy, yet every time we meet him, everyone is like, "Let's leave and never return--this immortal who has been everyone ever likes his privacy. Delete the logs."

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    I'm interested to see where Akharin goes from here. He's always a character that I've rolled my eyes at during most of the times he's included in the novels. I feel like he is the living embodiment of small universe syndrome; "YOU get to meet Akharin and YOU get to meet Akharin and YOU get to...

    Spoilers ENT: Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    That brings up something kind of off the wall that I've always sort of filed in my "wouldn't it be cool if" mental file. According to Memory Beta, (http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Kzinti) during the 22nd century, Earth fought a series of conflicts known as the Earth-Kzin Wars. Now obviously...
