Spoilers Discovery and the Novelverse - TV show discussion thread

Seems like I saw someone somewhere say what the title for the T’Kuvma miniseries is. Anyone able to jog my memory?

I swear I just saw it somewhere too, but I just skimmed through io9, TrekCore, and The Trek Collective and couldn't find it.
 
Seems like I saw it on twitter but I would have thought that meant one of those places as well.

Or it may have been in the episode of The Edge on TrekFM about the Discovery premiere.

The Light of Kahless

First up, a little nugget regarding IDW's first Discovery comic: The series, written by Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson, with art by Tony Shasteen, is set to be the first of several miniseries based on the series; with this one filling in the backstory of T'Kuvma. Until now though it has simply been referred to as Star Trek: Discovery; annoyingly indistinct from the series as a whole. Well good news folks, the Amazon listing for the series omnibus book (due in May), now lists it with a title! The Light of Kahless.

During the episode it's found that the "Ripper" beast is responsible for the calculations which allow the spore-drive to pinpoint its destination.

This reminded me of the TOS novel "Crossroad" where the ship's yagghorth beast is actually the key to the beyond-warp-drive method of propulsion of the future vessels.

A small thing. I just thought it was interesting. Once an initial small connection was made in the episode early-on it made me guess at what ended up being in the case.

@trampledamage, I think this should be relocated into the uber thread or, could you at least put spoilers in the thread title.
 
Yeah, I'll move it to the uber-thread.


I've edited the Thread title as well - now that Discovery is showing, please be aware there may be spoilers to the show in this thread. The general rule for TV shows is six months.
 
The S&S catalog page now gives us a blurb for Drastic Measures...

It is 2246, ten years prior to the Battle at the Binary Stars, and an aggressive contagion is ravaging the food supplies of the remote Federation colony Tarsus IV and the eight thousand people who call it home. Distress signals have been sent, but any meaningful assistance is weeks away. Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Lorca and a small team assigned to a Starfleet monitoring outpost are caught up in the escalating crisis, and bear witness as the colony’s governor, Adrian Kodos, employs an unimaginable solution in order to prevent mass starvation.

While awaiting transfer to her next assignment, Commander Philippa Georgiou is tasked with leading to Tarsus IV a small, hastily assembled group of first responders. It’s hoped this advance party can help stabilize the situation until more aid arrives, but Georgiou and her team discover that they‘re too late—Governor Kodos has already implemented his heinous strategy for extending the colony’s besieged food stores and safeguarding the community’s long-term survival.

In the midst of their rescue mission, Georgiou and Lorca must now hunt for the architect of this horrific tragedy and the man whom history will one day brand “Kodos the Executioner”…

Greg Cox's Robert April short story in Enterprise Logs also has to do with Tarsus IV, and there's a section about it in The Autobiography of James T. Kirk. Based on the description, it looks like this may contradict those two accounts, but it's probably too early to know for sure.

Definitely tempting, but not happy with being charged an extra £5 for the Discovery novels just so they can be printed on bigger paper (and take up more shelf space), but if I get another scratch card win (that's why I bought the first one) I might give it a go...

Pretty sure Star Trek Academy: Collision Course covers it, too.

Seems like the tie-in novels are going to be prequels centred around TOS crossovers the show isn;t interested in covering?

I bet the next one will be the battle of Axanar...
