That I remembered this because I had read the books very recently.
So it seems. That's a great memory you have then.
Sometimes I can’t remember what I had for breakfast.
Weren't there "orthos" in Dreadnought! and/or Battlestations!, of the original craft from those novels?
Yes, IIRC -- one or two types of fighter craft in the former and a small freighter or something like that in the latter. For a moment I thought there were plans of the titular dreadnought too, but then I remembered that was something I drew myself in pencil, tracing Franz Joseph's dreadnought plans and modifying them to fit the book's description of things like the hexagonal (octagonal?) saucer. I'm not sure if I still have that drawing anywhere.
Ive been reading the novel, Star Trek Probe and there’s a little scene in it where Riley remembers the massacre and the last moment with his father. I wonder if that will be in the novel?
Also on the Memory Alpha Page about Kodos, it mentions that the Enterprise was on course to help but was attacked by Klingons and didn’t make it which really affected April. That would be a nice reference to include. The Enterprise should be mentioned in every STD novel.

Well now. Yesterday's episode of Discovery sure puts the premise of this novel into a new light, eh?
^ Yeah. I wonder if the novel's author knew about the plot twist ahead of time.
So this would be the first time we actually see the prime universe version of Gabriel Lorca. I wonder how different he will be from the version we've all come to know...
I’ve known about everything, all along.
As for the book.....you’ll just have to wait for February 6th or so.

Three more episodes in the season, they've burned off all of their foreshadowing, anything could happen, and anyone could appear.
My guess, as I stated in another thread, is that he read about the destruction of the Buran in the Defiant's files, saw that his counterpart was the only survivor, and used that as his opportunity to cross over and replace his counterpart. The Prime Lorca went down with his ship.
Only Dayton knows if he is the

I don't see how there could be any question.
MU Lorca has only been in the Prime Universe for about a year, maybe less. He was recently involved in a coup against Empress Georgiou and had the ISS Buran destroyed as a result. Only after that did he cross over to the PU.
As for the USS Buran, I assume Prime Lorca was killed along with the rest of its crew, and MU Lorca merely showed up after the fact. Remember, the Klingon War was already going on when that version of the ship was destroyed. This was after DSC, the show, began.
So since "Drastic Measures" takes place over 10 years ago, when Lorca was only a LCDR, I can't see how it could feature any Lorca other than Prime.

Yeah, MU Lorca likely only arrived in the Prime Universe around the time the Buran was destroyed, making it unlikely we'll see him in this novel at all.
Well, DM could take place in the Mirror Universe, and the twist ending is Georgiou becoming Empress out of nowhere, and then we all re-read the book and notice all the subtle clues that we were never in our home reality.
