DS9 Omnibuses

[Captain W Riker]

I'm catching up with the DS9 relaunch mainly with omnibuses (I picked up "Unity" first, then enjoyed it so much that I went back to "Twist of Faith") and am planning to pick up "These Haunted Seas" as soon as it comes out.

I was wondering: is there any news on when the next omnibus will be out? There was a little over a year between the first two, but I'm not sure if I can wait that long!

As stated several times in the last couple months. when this question came: That depends on the sales of this new omnibus. If PB is making enough money with it to justify a continuation, they will certainly do so.

If you really can't wait, you can always download the next few books in the series:

Mission Gamma Book Three: Cathedral
Mission Gamma Book Four: Lesser Evil
Rising Son
Unity

AFAIK, the rest of the books in the series are still in print.

You can get Unity new still. The other ones I just bought used. I can't read books on the computer...PAIN in the head!!!!

 

[JD]

Warpath should also still be available new.

Thanks, guys. Once I've got the whole of "Mission Gamma" in omnibus, I'm gonna get everything in its original format like I did with "Unity". I just can't find reasonably-priced "Mission Gamma" books anywhere!

If you live in Los Angeles, I can point you to where book 3 & 4 are still available at cover price.

Me either. I like to toss and turn in the bed with a book actually in my hands. Or in the bath if I'm in the mood.

I'm British, but thank you anyway!

^ What, Brits aren't permitted to live in L.A. anymore?!?

Well, just look at the trouble that we cause when we visit!!

Have you tried Forbidden Planet stores - the London one's got a heck of a lot of back Trek novels certainly...

I miss reading in the bath since it was removed in our renovations. It is very hard to read in a shower and as a result my level of reading has dropped considerably.

Forbidden Planet in London is like a Treasure Cave, especially compared to the one in Dublin. I always have to be careful when I visit London that I don't buy too much or else I'll have to pay excess baggage.

^ That's the one on Shaftesbury Avenue isn't it? I was there two years ago and got all of the DS9 novelizations. Best holiday ever.

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out next time I'm in London.

^It is the one on Shaftesbury Avenue. It took me a while to find it the first time round. Slightly OT but this year I got a Dalek tie there which I now where to work every day. Best piece of clothing I ever bought.

Just got These Haunted Seas from my store here in Barcelona. I hope these omnibuses keep coming!

I was just thinking... it's quite a shame to use these amazing titles for an omnibus when they could be used for new books.

Not to mention the confusion it causes when you are looking at the upcoming books schedule. It would make more sense to call it something like: The DS9 Relaunch Collection Vol 1.

Except these usually note when it's a reprint omnibus.

Pocket will have already done some level of market research, you know.

The idea is to come up with a cover and title that will catch people's attention in bookstores or when shopping online. Pocket has never pushed the "relaunch" moniker. I seem to recall Marco preferring "post-series novels". And terms like "collection" and "Vol 1" can spook people.
