Boo!
There were some great scenes in that movie and it's a shame to excise the whole thing.
The scene with McCoy and his dad is totally worth the other 99% of that shitty movie existing. God, that scene's perfect. It's a damn shame it wasn't in a better film.
At least in the next month-ish we’re due to get something, with Architects of Infinity coming out.
At this stage I would say there will be no new novels in 2018 apart from those that have already been announced.
I suppose that that's the advantage of only having read 190 of my 400+ books.
Plenty to keep me busy during lean times.
We got “Drastic Measures” last month, and Kirsten Beyer’s Voyager novel “Architects Of Infinity” is set to be released this month. And then Prometheus #2 is coming in May.
There's also the third Discovery novel, "Fear Itself," in the summer, I believe. And the third Prometheus translation is due in November. So, we may be on restricted rations, but we won't starve!
Since things have gotten slow to stopping with new releases, ive taken the time to go back and keep doing my read-through of the 24th century treklit in chronological order. http://killie-booktalk.blogspot.com/p/star-trek-reading-challenge.html This website has been a very handy resource.
David Goodman confirmed that Michael Burnham will be referenced in the book. Indeed, the Picard Autobiography does in fact include a very vague reference to her.

If anyone's wondering, the Disco reference in the Picard book comes when Picard is recounting his mind meld with Sarek in the episode named after him. It's described as Picard experiencing various memories of Sarek's as though they were his own, and among those mentioned a very vaguely worded description of Sarek saving Michael's life after the Vulcan school bombing.
Okay, that is kinda neat.
In case someone wants to preorder: The third Prometheus novel is now listed on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785656538/
Yeah, in all honesty this hiatus is barely a blip on my radar mostly because there's still new novels coming out for me every month anyway. At the moment, I think August will be the only month this year I won't be purchasing any new books, but then that's no problem since August always turns out to be an unusually busy month for me anyway.
I don't know about "kind of okay", but I'll get by. 
Star Trek books are the only ones I allow myself to actually buy anymore, so it's not like I'm buying other books elsewhere. I guess if I want to read, it will mean more trips to the library. But TBH my reading time is way down anyway lately. I actually have three or for Trek books from last year that I haven't read yet, which is really unusual. But now I can read them during the slow times!
On the plus side, since these are the only ones I buy and I won't be spending as much on them, it should save me some money, and every little bit helps. But to be honest, I will probably use that as an excuse to justify some of the pricier art books that I haven't been able to afford to pick up yet!

My fear is that the hiatus will easily turn into cancellation. Or worse, even if it doesn't, that the range comes back fundamentally altered into something more sporadic and non-serialized like Pocket/Gallery has been doing with Halo.
They've already cut the range in half and cancelled most of the book-only series; moving to a more traditional tie-in approach would kill what was left of my interest.
Thank you. Now I know to avoid both books.
I haven't even caught up with all the Star Trek ones yet, let alone everything else!Am I the only one who's kind of okay with Pocket having a bit of a Star Trek hiatus? The world is full of good books, but it's hard to keep up with it all when Pocket publishes a new masterpiece every month.
I only recently started reading Trek books again, and select ones at that (mostly TOS-set). I mostly read Christian fiction, with a few non-fiction titles thrown in.
