Clearly it wasn't bad enough that I was being sent hidden links to Facebook; now I'm being sent hidden links to Twitter, too. Something else to interdict in my host table.
(And up to now, I'd always identified the Antares Maelstrom to which Khan had referred with the title phenomenon of David Gerrold's The Galactic Whirlpool.)

New Star Trek novels -- including a Tilly-centric Discovery adventure -- are on the way in 2019 from Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books, it was announced today by Simon & Schuster's Star Trek editor, Ed Schlesinger, during the Inside Trek: Star Trek Authors & Their Books panel at Star Trek Las Vegas. Schlesinger -- who was joined on stage by authors Dayton Ward and Robb Pearlman, as well as moderator John Van Citters of CBS -- revealed the first three titles in the S&S slate of Trek novels for 2019, and StarTrek.com is pleased to share the details with readers.
The January 2019 title will be Star Trek: Discovery: The Way to the Stars, by Una McCormack. Here's the official synopsis:
Despite being an inexperienced Starfleet cadet, Sylvia Tilly became essential to the U.S.S. Discovery finding its way back home from the Mirror Universe. But how did she find that courage? From where did she get that steel? Who nurtured that spark of brilliance? The Way to the Stars recounts for fans everywhere the untold story of Tilly’s past.
It’s not easy being sixteen, especially when everyone expects great things from Tilly. It’s even harder when her mother and father are Federation luminaries, not to mention pressing her to attend one of the best schools that the Federation has to offer. Tilly wants to achieve great things — even though she hasn’t quite worked out how to do that or what it is she wants to do. But this year, everything will change for Tilly, as she about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime — an adventure that will take her ever closer to the stars…
Up next, and due for release as the March 2019 title will be Star Trek: The Original Series: The Antares Maelstrom, by Greg Cox. The synopsis reads as follows: Baldur-3 is an obscure planet just beyond the outer fringes of Federation space, until a group of struggling colonists discover vast quantities of the energy source pergium beneath the planet’s surface. An old-fashioned “gold rush” is now underway—a chaotic situation, as neighboring planets and space stations are vastly ill-equipped to deal with the flood of vessels and aliens competing to get to the planet in time to stake their claims. Although Baldur-3 isn’t technically under Federation jurisdiction, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise are soon diverted to deal with the crisis . . . one which lies on the other side of the dangerous area of space known as the Antares Maelstrom.
And, in April 2019, fans will be treated to Star Trek: The Next Generation: Available Light, by Dayton Ward. Per the publisher: As fallout from the exposure of the “Control” AI security program and the unchecked crimes of Section 31 spans the entire Alpha Quadrant and ultimately reaches the halls of Starfleet Command, the admiralty must decide what the consequences will be for their own… including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, who helped bring down a Federation president and violated the principles of his oath. Meanwhile, deep in the unexplored section of space known as the Odyssean Pass, Picard and the Enterprise crew must put aside personal feelings on the matter and distant political concerns as they investigate the mystery a centuries-old massive spacecraft adrift in the void and under attack from marauders looking to claim the ship for themselves—and armed with weapons that are evenly matched with Starfleet’s finest…

#STLV #StarTrekAuthors Schlesinger says Kelvin is very much in play. It’s a vast area of the sandbox to play in. Van Citters says they are waiting to see where the Kelvin is going before they decide on story.

So I guess basically nothing until it is clear were the movies are heading.
Thank you!
They all look good! I find myself excited for the Tilly book.
Una McCormack doing a Tilly novel is one of those I never knew I always wanted until I was told I would get it.
Damn, I was really hoping we'd be getting start getting Kelvin books, but I can understand wanting to wait. Hopefully we can at least start to see stuff from the movies incorporated into the books. I'm still hoping for a Prime USS Kelvin series, or even just a standalone.
All three new books sound good, hopefully by the time Available Light is out I'll be caught up enough to read it as soon as it's released.
Of course, I'm still kinda irked that Mission to Gamma VI didn't make the schedule.
There's still hope for later in the year.
