Where is Rios going with all those Police Boxes? ;)
 
The titles of the trilogy were announced yesterday. It's:

May: Discovery: Wonderlands, Una McCormack
June: TOS: Living Memory, Christopher L. Bennett
July: TNG: Shadows Have Offended, Cassandra Rose Clarke
August: Picard: Rogue Elements, John Jackson Miller
September: Coda: Moments Asunder, Dayton Ward
October: Coda: The Ashes of Tomorrow, James Swallow
November: Coda: Oblivion's Gate, David Mack
December: DS9: Revenant, Alex R. White

I wonder if maybe S&S was waiting to see how Trek novel sales balanced with the new price-point and the numbers are in and support continuing with the monthly release schedule from before the contract expiration. I guess we'll find out if there's another spring hiatus next year (or the year after, given that ripples from the pandemic probably won't have completely faded by then).
 
Thanks for posting the Trekcore book article .We're going to get some really good books this year.

Well, hot damn! Color me excited! It's going to be wonderful to have monthly Trek novels back in my life, for however long this latest run lasts.
 
The future at war with the past, huh? Maybe that means this will be the greatest crossover of all time and all eras of Trek lit will collide, and the Lit counterparts to new Picard and Lower Decks characters can also appear. I mean, I don't know how you would depict it, but it would be pretty fun to have a scene like in this one issue of Crisis on Infinite Earths where dozens of DC characters from various time periods and Earths were all standing around. Even "dead" characters can join in the fun, since it's all eras colliding. Section 31 Trip Tucker, P8 Blue, Taran'atar, Astall the crybaby bunny rabbit counselor from the early Voyager relaunch novels, her replacement Hugh Cambridge, Nick Keller from the Challenger, Naraht the Horta, Dr. Shenti Yisec Eres Ree, Dr. B'Oraq, Ael t'Rllailleu, Ruanek, Tim Pennington, T'Ryssa Chen, Phigus Simenon, Gary Seven with teenage Khan Singh, Mackenzie Calhoun wearing a cloak of civilization, somebody from Spock Must Die!, and the badass team-up of Natasha Riker-Troi and Rene Picard: everybody all together!

You've essentially just described Star Trek Timelines only with novel characters.

I'm calling it now. The Big Bad is gonna be Omne, back from his other-universe exile with James. And they're pissed.
