The Trek books in the last couple of months have overall been quite satisfying, given the fact that many of my favourite authors were busier than ever writing new stories. But surprisingly one, after writing one of the most appreciated Trek novels ever (Provenenace of Shadows, imo not only one but the best Trek novel), has gone missing. So, whats with David R. George III? Still exhausted after Crucible? Been fired, because S&S is still paying the ink- and paper-bills after Provenance? Or am I completly misjudging the situation and I'm actually the only missing his epic writing-style?
David R. George III
- Thread starter Kopernikus
- Start date
Well, no, because if he was in the book....he'd be the only contributor, having forced the rest of our lightweight, low-count entires over the cliff.
Oh, I'm still here and still writing. But it's nice to be missed!
And thanks for the kind words about Provenance of Shadows.

David, that's good to hear.
Coincidentally, I just finished reading the Kirk novel from the Crucible trilogy last night. That completes the trilogy for me. Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed those books immensely. Star Trek Lit is a better place for having you in it for sure.:thumbsup:
I finished the last few chapters of the McCoy story in a hotel lobby (for various reasons) during my recent OS trip, and was trying desperately to not cry or to wipe the tears away quickly. I managed to succeed with the second but not the first.
Like many others have said, this is definitely one of the best books, Trek or not, that I have read. I enjoyed both parts of the story immensely, but definitely liked the 20th century story better.

^ Thanks, Rosalind. I'm delighted that you enjoyed Provenance so much.
Ah, thats good to hear
So, when can we expect Crucible, Part 2: Chekov, Uhura and Scotty?

Immediately followed by part three : Sulu, Rand and Chapel.
As soon as the next anniversary rolls around, duh!
Well, I'm holding out for an epic trilogy about De Salle, Leslie, and that hot yeoman from "Operation: Annihilate."
Well, to be honest, I actually have had thoughts about Crucible: Scott, Crucible: Uhura, and mostly about Crucible: Keeler...
The Scott one would be great, although you would have a seventy-five year hole in it...or would you?
Uhura went from being a communications officer in the 2260s to the head of Starfleet Intelligence in the 2360s, there is so much story there.
And Keeler, well she was central to the three previous Crucible books, and I think would be a fantastic link to another three. All doorstops again???
I'd like to see Crucible: Redshirt #47.
Scotty is one of my favorite TOS characters, so I'd love to see what you came up with for him, but a Keeler volume would be great. Even thought she is at the center of City on the Edge of Forever, we really don't know that much about her.
Wow, hopefully you get a chance to actually carry out those thougths, new Crucible-Books would be awesome. :thumbsup:
Wouldn't Crucible: Keeler get Harlan Ellison's panties in another twist?
