Discovery to get tie-ins!

[Idran]

We've also got David Mack doing a Titan book, Fortune of War, coming out in 2018.

Bah? As far as I can tell, the announced novels don't go beyond David Mack's Section 31 Control at the end of April 2017, with the Discovery novel(s) currently having no fixed date, though believed to be concurrent with Discovery's broadcast/streaming/whatever. While I know Pocket likely has plans extending to the end of 2018, I was not aware any of these had been made public.

Well that's not encouraging. I hadn't realized this.

I wouldn't make too many assumptions there, they always announce books in batches, and we just haven't gotten past the first batch of '17 novels.
And like the others said, we already know of several new novelverse novels coming out past those Control.

MA has Dayton Ward's next-next TNG novel, Hearts and Minds, coming out in December of '18.

I remember hearing about that, but for some reason I thought it was coming out late 2017. Ah well.

Actually it is the June 2017 release according to the monthly writing wrap up by @Dayton Ward on his website.

I corrected the relevant MA pages. The confusion seems to be this page's practice of listing unknown release dates as "December."

 

[JD]

It's still a bit early, so I don't know if anyone will want to take advantage of this, but the first Discovery novel is available for pre-order in both paper and e-book formats from at least Google, Nook/Barnes & Nobel, and Kindle/Amazon.

Ive had it preordered since first announcement - bit shocked by the price, though.

At that price, it's presumably a trade paperback.

Cross Cult just confirmed that their translation of the currently untitled Discovery novel will presumably released
on the 2nd of May. Oddly that is before the English release.

 

[JD]

And before the show premieres.

 

[David Mack]

I would expect the Cross Cult listing to be updated some time soon…

 

[Defcon]

Cross Cult just confirmed that their translation of the currently untitled Discovery novel will presumably released
on the 2nd of March.

2nd of May actually.

 

[Jinn]

2nd of May actually.

Ups, I meant May. Still that is before the English release (which was somewhere around late May according to amazon). Do we know when exactly the show is going to premiere, or just that it probably will be in May?

 

[tenmei]

Amazon UK are giving me 1st June for delivery.

 

[Jinn]

According to simonandschuster.com, amazon.de and amazon.com it'll be out on 23rd May. I guess we'll see then.

 

[Jinn]

And now this appeared: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Discovery-Official-Collectors/dp/1785861905

Does anyone know what this is?

 

[DimesDan]

Does anyone know what this is?

Best guess, a book that outlines the creative process behind the creation of Discovery including interviews and articles held within the Titan Star Trek Magazine what ever that is called now-a-days.

 

[The Wormhole]

Yeah, wasn't something similar done for Beyond last year?

 

[Daddy Todd]

Yeah, wasn't something similar done for Beyond last year?

Yep. Online publicity for the "Beyond Special Edition" led me to believe there would be extra content vs. the magazine version. If there was, I couldn't spot it. So this isn't going on my must-buy list.

 

[The Wormhole]

So, I'm going to go ahead and ask the question. Now that Discovery's premiere has been postponed again, will the novel still be released in May, or will it be held until the premiere?
