2018 Releases

[Voth commando1]

Not destroyed but shifted considerably-the collapse of the RSE would affect the astropolitics of the alpha quadrant greatly.

Spoiler

It could presage war with the Typhon Pact or lead to the remnants of the RSE being absorbed into the federation.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Also the disappearance of Spock should have an affect on the living characters who knew him.

Spoiler

As enterprise and voyager show us-the federation is alive and well by the turn of the fourth millennium with time ships and time cops-the DTI novellas have expanded on this further-what I want to know is how the federation gets to this point-or if not that at least a general idea of the path the next five centuries IU will take to get to that point.

Just to torture me I suppose

 

[tomswift2002]

There have already been prime novels, in the modern novelverse, with scenes set in the near future.

Plus we had The Needs Of The Many that went into the 2400's, due to the novel being a spin-off of the Star Trek Online game.

 

[Voth commando1]

I''m trying to think of any novels or parts therof that have gone past 2387.

The DTI novellas.

The prologue to the enterprise relaunch-Jake and nog discuss it at the beginning of the 25th century.

I forget the name of the novel-but when Bashir is in Garak's care it's 2388-the epilogue I believe.

Are there any other examples?

 

[Jinn]

Armageddon's Arrow, I believe, had a few chapters that are set in the far future.

^ Every time you bring this up, we convene a meeting and agree to push out writing such books for at least two more years.

How far delayed are we now? I want to know how many more times I need to get it pushed back so that I don't have to worry about there being any more books before I die, and I can put this whole uncertainty behind me.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Right now, you can expect to see the first post-supernova book sometime around August 2032.

That will make me 80.

If I am still alive I will have something to look forward to.

 

[F. King Daniel]

My sources tell me they're aiming for a 2064 release.

But then someone'll notice First Contact hasn't happened, that Star Trek has decanonized itself and they'll call off the whole thing.

Alternate timeline.

Nah. Greg Cox will write a book about how First Contact really happened and we just never knew it in a way that makes perfect sense

 

[ryan123450]

I was thinking the same thing. World War III, on the other hand, harder to explain away.

 

[Greg Cox]

Hey, at least I got that manned mission to Saturn out of the way . . ..

 

[Damian]

I was thinking the same thing. World War III, on the other hand, harder to explain away.

Don't forget about the Sanctuary Districts as well.

When you think about it, if Star Trek was ever prophetic, this would be the wrong century to grow old in. Sanctuary Districts, WWIII (with nuclear weapons no less), drugged soldiers, juryless courts, civilization reduced to almost rubble. There would also be incredible advancements, space travel, manned missions to Saturn, warp drive. So while mankind was making incredible strides we also nearly annihilated ourselves.

 

[Scout101]

Right now, you can expect to see the first post-supernova book sometime around August 2032.

Because we’re avoiding moving into that period, or because it’s the next book to be written and we hope to have the contract renewed by then ?

 

[The Wormhole]

If you think the contract is going to be renewed by August 2032, you're woefully optimistic.

 

[David cgc]

Oh, I'm sure that by 2020 Disney will have bought both CBS and Viacom, rendering the whole thing moot.

 

[thribs]

I don’t think Disney will be allowed to do that. I’m surprised the government is allowing the Fox buyout.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

I don’t think Disney will be allowed to do that. I’m surprised the government is allowing the Fox buyout.

They haven't, yet. It's far from a done deal.
