Countdown to Destiny (may contain spoilers)

That's not what he said. What he said is that he's read many of the novels and considers them to have "canon value." Of course that doesn't mean they are canon, any more than the Moon is Earth. It presumably means that he thinks they contain elements that are worth acknowledging in canon.
But I consider the Moon as apart of my personal Earth. Saturn too. But that damned Jupiter, it didn't "really" happen.
A swing and a miss!
Look, I'm sorry. But I can't stand it anymore.
I almost died when I read this outline and I can't keep it to myself any longer. It's just too sad.
DESTINY: An Overview
The android Questor and the original Dr. Dylan Hunt (Genesis II) travel to the past and kill Paladin, thereby irrevocably changing the future as the gunslinger is the ancestor of 100% of the people you've seen in canonical Trek. Only Wesley Crusher's intervention as a Traveller prevents TITAN and ENTERPRISE from being affected by the ensuing time shift.
The two crews quickly weld the ships' hulls together and, with Wesley's help again, go back in time to kill Hunt and Questor before they can kill Paladin.
Unfortunately Vale falls in love with Questor and Hunt, driven mad by rejection as well as proof that time travel is real, kills everyone on Enterprise (and nearly everyone on Titan) singlehandedly. That's the plot of the entire second novel.
This leaves Will Riker scant seconds to explode the double warp cores in a last ditch effort to kill Hunt. Vale, in an attempt to stop him, kills Troi, Ree, Tuvok and Huilan AND destabilizes the explosion such that the ship is shunted back in time again, taking everyone along.
This time Questor and Hunt fight Questor and Hunt for the privilege of killing Paladin but the squabble allows Paladin to get the drop on two of them. Now, instead of being killed by Hunt and Questor, he's killed by Questor and Hunt.
Vale, finally realizing her error, kills the remaining Hunt and Questor, assumes the role of Paladin herself and becomes the progenitor for 100% of popular Trek characters after falling in love with Wesley. She has two hundred children, all of which he instantly teleports to some random planet where they are raised by kindly childless farmers.
Turns out Wesley was the big villain. He developed a crush on Vale and set all these events in motion to remove competition. Even his own children have to go.
Star Trek, all Star Trek, after Destiny will simply be referred to as WESLEY.
No, the different books will not be numbered nor will they have different subtitles. Just Wesley.

^ I refuse to confirm which parts of this are true. 
Cute. Hysterical.
On a more serious note, I have a few questions for David:
1) Which series will feature more?
2) Who will be the main/key players?
3) Any MDK's?
4) Will this whole storyline shape the future of the other series down the line?
4) Is either Q or the Borg or any familiar villians involved at some point?
5) Where can I find a synopsis?
Thanks for your time and patience.
What about the alternate, John Saxon version of Dylan Hunt from Planet Earth?
1. Not saying. I'm trying to strike a balance that serves the needs of the story.
2. You'll find that out when you buy the books.
3. Are you kidding?
4. Yes.
5. Barring corporate espionage or a hacker penetrating my home firewall, you shouldn't be able to -- not yet. There will be cover copy in the S&S Fall catalog. Anyone who wants to avoid being spoiled, however, should avoid reading the cover copy for books two and three before reading book one.
i take it Redjack's spoofing the latest car-crash compnay-wide crossover event from DC?
The cover features Jonathan Frakes in a TNG Season One skant.
spoof? me?

When will that catalog be released?
^ I don't know.
The Fall catalogue is released... in time for Fall.
But whose Fall? My Fall or your Fall?
^^The Fall of the House of Usher.
