2019 Releases
- Thread starter Jarrod
- Start date
The two are not mutually exclusive
Out of morbid curiosity, what franchise? SW? B5? Buffy?I heard a story years ago, NOT about Trek, where somebody tried doing that on another franchise.
As I understand it, the general response was "There are books?"
The novelverse aside, TNG concluded triumphantly with all good things and I don't really think Picard's story needs to be continued at least on TV format. Let it rest.
Well its not resting. Lol it is happening hence the discussion. Furthermore, alot can happen in 20 years. Its not like Picard retired never to be heard from again.
Not to derail the Picard discussion too much...
The announced books are on Amazon.com for preorder - The Way to the Stars, The Antares Maelstrom, Available Light - the listings have a few changes to the blurbs that were previously announced.
Interestingly, they are all labelled as "Paperback" - i.e. trade paperback - as opposed to MMPB, which Amazon identifies separately (see Architects of Infinity for comparison). Either this is an error on Amazon's part, or the new contract sees Pocket pivoting entirely to TPBs...
Also, their release dates are early in the announced month, rather than the usual "week before the publication month".

Why? He’s one of the better authors
David Mack has a reputation for killing off characters.
It's trade paperback.
From a blog post by Dayton (emphasis mine):
"At present, there only seems to be a lonely Amazon link for the physical print/trade paperback edition,[...]"

I won’t be switching to ebooks but it is going to bugger up my shelves
They’re all the same price which would indicate that they are all TPBs.
To be honest though, except for Star Trek almost every new book I’ve got in the last few years in paperback has been a TPB. MMPBs seem to have been consigned to history.

So when will we see, if ever Kirsten Beyer's To Lose The Earth?
No information.
It’s been contracted and announced so it will be published.
When is not known. It was originally scheduled for December 2017.
I expected a pivot to trades a decade ago. Pocket will lose sales, no doubt, because of the price point, but they'll end up making more money, again, because of the price.
One of the big questions in my mind is, if Worf/Klingons appear will they look like Discovery Klingons or not...
I say we get Michael Dorn on board and have him change make-up each episode. He can start with TNG Klingon make-up, appear next in Discovery Klingon make-up, and then show up with TOS Klingon make-up. Most importantly: nobody is allowed to make reference (on the show) to his changed appearance.
