I think DC Fontana's Vulcans Gory should be made into a SNW episode, its a great story, takes place in the right time period, and it would be a great tribute to a great star trek writer. 
Anyone else think Vulcan's Glory should be made into a SNW episode?

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan's_Glory#Summary third paragraph is part of it. Would of copied and pasted but didn't want to infringe copyright. It's been a while since I read it, but it left a lasting impression. It shows us more of Spock, Pike and Number One, who had zero character developement in TC. It was very entertaining, and a page-turner, I read the whole thing in one sitting.
I like DC Fontana as much as the next person but never read the book. No idea if it would be good or not.
I read all of Yesterday's Son, a follow up to "All Our Yesterday's" and Spock having a son in one sitting too. Not sure it would make a good TV episode though.

As it seems to be happening, is the mining of details, and information from the literary universe, so it could happen to pull some ideas from it.
As for Spock's son in other books, I've always not liked the "Abandoned chld" story, and honestly has been used way to much. Kirk, Sisko, Worf, etc. If the story needs the character to have a kid, then the writters should have the giblets to write in the kid permenantly.

Well, it did involve time travel for Spock's son.

I'd like to see Secret of Vulcan Fury in some form

Can anyone tell me what this wonderful, most amazing, book is about?
Which book?
Any of them at this point? My Trek book knowledge is weaker than most.
Vulcans Glory by DC Fontana, I believe it is on Kindle. Don't want to spoil it if you intend to read it.
A summary will do just fine. It clearly left a mark so I would like to hear why you like it so much.
The only thing I remember about Spock's son from the novels is the time he bit into some kind of meat sandwich to piss off his father. I read them over 30 years ago. Otherwise, I don't really follow any of this.
I loved that novel, so yes. Loved the logical reasoning behind Spock having casual sex.
The backstory gets VERY messy if applied to canon though.

I know they didn't have those characters in mind and the name is a complete fluke but, it implies Malcolm from Enterprise raped and impregnated T'Pol or another Vulcan woman.
I don’t think it would work. No slight on Vulcan’s Glory, which kinda reads like a novelization of an unaired pilot set pre-The Cage, but I don’t think it really fits with the world Discovery established, or some of the things that were subsequently established through the other TV Trek (it was published, what, mid-TNG Season Two or thereabouts?). At best, it might earn an “inspired by” credit, but an actual adaptation? I don’t think so.
Granted, there are some elements that I wouldn’t be against seeing migrate to SNW, but the whole story proper? I don’t think so.
