A Seven of Nine novel probably makes the most sense. There's certainly a lot of her post-Voyager backstory to cover, and as one of the more popular main characters from a prior Trek series, there's guaranteed brand appeal to cash in on. Though if it were a Rios novel, I'd be all over that too.
Seven definitely has the most fertile ground to cover (meeting Hugh, joining the Fenris Rangers, the implied background with Bjayzl...), though particularly with the end of the season implying she’ll be part of the crew going forward, I’d kinda like to see something relating to, say, the Raffi-Rios friendship or even post-Romulus through the eyes of Narek come first, let the Seven story be more of a lead in to season two.
I mean, it’s not like they have to be mutually exclusive or anything, and given that Seven is a popular character, it’s a no-brainer that it’s coming, but I’d like to see the new characters get some deeper development before we return focus to a well-established one, even if she’s been through enough to argue she has become a different person.

If it's hardcover, I'd say that makes it more likely it's a Seven of Nine novel. I doubt having anyone other than her or Picard on a novel would create enough confidence to sell hardcovers. And they already had Picard on a cover of one of these.
Though I guess they could have him and whoever else. Still, I'd be very surprised if a Rios or Raffi centred novel were released as a hardcover especially at this early stage.

Also according to Amazon, the Janeway autobiography is now due out September as opposed to the previously reported July release date.
Of course, that may mean it is being tweaked to accomodate some future Pike/NumberOne/Spock tie-in stuff?
Whatever. What I know is this:Of course, that may mean it is being tweaked to accomodate some future Pike/NumberOne/Spock tie-in stuff?
1) this is the second or third time it's been pushed-back.
2) I'd really like to have and read this book
c) I do not care if it ties into whatever they're doing in ST Discovery or whatever other stuff they're currently making these days.

More likely it's necessary to accommodate Goodman's schedule as a TV producer, the same reason Kirsten's To Lose the Earth has been delayed so long. It wouldn't be the first time for Goodman. His Spock "autobiography" was postponed just last year. And nearly a decade and a half ago, he was going to do a Will Decker novel, but had to cancel it when he became showrunner of Family Guy and no longer had time to write it.
With what we since learned about Stephen Collins, that's probably for the best.
I don't believe an actor's actions should be held against a character they played. A prose work about that character would have nothing to do with the actor, unless they wrote or co-wrote it themselves.
And the same goes for writers and other creators too. If we threw out all fiction that had any involvement from sexual predators, we'd have to throw out all of Star Trek because of Gene Roddenberry and nearly all of DC Comics because of Julius Schwartz. Not to mention the entire Alfred Hitchcock filmography and a lot of other things. It's important to be able to separate the good things people did from the bad. If we throw out the good they did because of the bad they did, then the bad stuff wins.
I’d still be interested in something about the character, personally. I can always imagine a new face for him, after all. Biggest issue would be the cover, but covers featuring the faces of the characters (and, by extension, the actors who’ve portrayed them) have been fewer and fewer over the last decade or so anyway... It could still be viable as a story.
Probably not going to happen anyway, of course, but... I mean, the character is someone who was tapped to command the Enterprise, even if he didn’t get the chance to do so properly. I think that’s worth at least a story.

There is a Captain Decker story by Diane Duane in the Enterprise Logs anthology. He also appears as first officer in IDW's Waypoint anthology, in a story set in the Phase II continuity that might have been. And he plays a role in DC's Vol. 1 Annual 2, showing Mike Barr's version of the end of the 5-year mission.
His role in the Phase II story ("Fear") is minimal IIRC. His post-V'ger-merger is a main character in the Waypoint Special "Consider Eternity". (From the same comic, looks like its the poor USS Newton's (NCC-1727) destiny to end up battling Romulans).
Oh, of course, how could I have forgotten that? I guess the Phase II story stuck more in my memory because it's something I've been curious about for ages and never thought I'd see.
I agree wholeheartedly. Was in the midst of a rewatch of The Cosby Show when it was erased from this timeline.
Maybe he’ll have time to write it now, with production on his show shut down for who-knows-how-long.
Assuming The Orville is shut down like everything else.
That's fine for people who are dead, but I find it hard to give money to people like that who are still alive.
That's why I've never paid to see a Woody Allen movie, and I haven't paid for a Roman Polansky movie since I found out what he did. I just don't like the idea of supporting them.
I'm not as opposed to watching stuff on a streaming service or borrowing it from a library, as long a no money goes into their pockets.
