Is this the only 2015 book we know about? Isn't this about the time of year where we start learning about what's coming in early 2015?

I know it's only a rumour, but there's talk of another Section 31 novel? Is this going to be planned as an ongoing series for now on?

 

[Reanok]

I recently listened to a podcast interview with David Mack he mentioned wanting to write another Section 31 novel that would be a sequel to Disavowed .He mentioned some hints about the books and their storylines. I'm Sorry I can't remember which podcast the interview was found.I think it was literary treks.

The Back-cover blurb for Armageddon’s Arrow has been posted.

It is a new age of exploration, and the U.S.S. Enterprise is dispatched to “the Odyssean Pass,” a region charted only by unmanned probes and believed to contain numerous inhabited worlds. Approaching a star system with two such planets, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew find a massive alien vessel, drifting in interstellar space for decades. Sensors detect life aboard the derelict—aliens held in suspended animation.


Thought to be an immense sleeper ship, the vessel actually is a weapon capable of destroying entire worlds…the final gambit in a war that has raged for generations across the nearby system. Captain Picard is now caught in the middle of this conflict and attempts to mediate, as both sides want this doomsday weapon…which was sent from the future with the sole purpose of ending the interplanetary war before it even began!

[The Wormhole]

Ooh, new region of space, a mysterious alien ship with a hidden agenda and even a bit of the timey-wimey thrown in. All the makings of a Trek classic!

It sounds great, but the last few things by either Dayton himself or the stuff he did with Kevin were not that great. I loved their work on Vanguard, but Paths Of Disharmony and Peaceable Kingdoms were not that stellar IMO. Still good, but not as good as their Vanguard novels. And the second Seeker novel also didn't quite do it for me.

Yeah, I agree. I was especially disappointed in Peaceable Kingdoms. Still, this sounds like it could be a solid, old-school romp. I'll give it a shot.

Oh, that I will as well. The blurb does sound good.

An Enterprise crew driving the DTI insane as usual? I'm sold.

 

[JD]

This one does sound good. It'll be a nice change of pace to get a more old fashioned strange new world story after so many stories focused on the galactic politics. I love that stuff, but sometimes it's nice to get something different.

Is it confirmed that the DTI is involved?

No, all we have is the blurb; I think they were just making a joke.

Indeed. After all, the DTI don't have to be involved in the actual story, but they would almost certainly get an after action report on the matter once everything is resolved.

Paths of Disharmony was surprising boring in parts given the set-up.

Peaceable Kingdoms was a crushing disappointment, an amazing 4 book set-up wasted with a stupid get out and weak action.

Seekers 2 was ok. I will see what the reviews are for this.

 

[Enterprise1701]

The recent The Captain's Table podcast episode, with lots of info about future Star Trek novels, had little about Armageddon's Arrow. However, Pocket Books editor Margaret Clark stated that Armageddon's Arrow would feature the return of some technology from the 23rd century.
