Re: Enterprise novel that is collection of short stories?
I doubt it, anthologies don't seem to be en vogue with the current editorial regime.
If they would have want to do something like that for the 10th anniversary of the series' demise we would have heard about it sometime last year anyway.

Edited the title for you 
Besides, even when these anthologies were being done regularly, it was usually to commemorate an anniversary of a show's beginning, not its end. We started with the DS9 anthology to commemorate its tenth anniversary in 2003, the Voyager one for its tenth anniversary in 2005, the TOS one for the fortieth in 2006 and the TNG one for its twentieth in 2007. If such an anthology were to be done for Enterprise, it would have been for the show's tenth anniversary back in 2011. Obviously, we didn't get that.
And 2016 will be dominated by the 50th anniversary of the franchise, so I doubt we'd get a 15-year anthology for ENT. Maybe in 2021? I gather the series is gaining a new fanbase in recent years, so maybe by then there will be enough interest.

Which is a shame, I really enjoyed a lot of the ones we got from the last regime. I loved the Myriad Universes collections, and I was really hoping we'd get more themed anthologies along the lines of Seven Deadly Sins.

I've also been a huge fan of the anthologies. I know you can't argue with what sells, but I really wish they produce a few more.

^I agree. To be honest, I never understood why there wasn't a separate TOS movie anthology, although the Mere Anarchy series took place largely during the films (from the third story on) and featured several characters from both the TV series and the films (Decker, Terrell, Morrow, Kang, etc.).
The Myriad Universes series is something I'd like to see picked up again. I also thought the Captain's Table was a cool idea.

Agreed. I remember, two years ago, we did a compilation of all the captains that would have to be included in a new Tales of the Captain's Table. It weren't just brand new captains - Spock is still waiting on his outing.
Myriad Universes is plain awesome, though I haven't the comic yet. I hope we'll see some of the universes again when the Federation starts branching out into parallel universes.
If you accept Enterprise Logs as a kind of precursor to the Captain's Table books (as the book features stories for the different captains of ships called Enterprise, just without the Captain's Table framework), he had a story.
Cool! They're high on my reading list but I haven't gotten around to them yet. Plus, I like to mentally lump different series together.
That's right. The captains in Tales from the Captain's Table were specifically those who hadn't already been featured in either the previous Captain's Table books or Enterprise Logs, which is why it didn't include April, Decker, Spock, Harriman, or Garrett. The only repeating captain was Picard, and he got a Stargazer story (well, shortly post-Stargazer) rather than an Enterprise story.
Good point.
Note that we're celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the debut of TOS next year, not the 50th anniversary of its cancellation!
There are several characters whom I think deserve a story:
Matthew Decker (TOS)
Donatra (TNG)
Martok, son of Urthog (DS9)
Jose Mendez (TOS)
Harry Morrow (TOS)
Alynna Nechayev (TNG)
Rudolph Ransom (VOY)
William Ross (DS9)
Thy'lek Shran (ENT)
George Sanders (DS9)
Clark Terrell (TOS)
Some of these would easier to write than others. We've learned more about Terrell due to his involvement in Vanguard/Seekers, and Shran and Ross are both popular characters from their respective series, as are Martok, Donatra and Nechayev.
On a semi-related note, does John Hertzler have any plans to write another Star Trek novel? He'd nail the Martok story.

^Matt Decker and the Constellation crew were the focus of The First Artifact in The Brave and the Bold, Book One by Keith DeCandido. It was a team-up with Kirk and the Enterprise, but told from the perspective of Decker and his crew.
Given he's involved in municipal politics these days, I'll go out on a limb and guess he's busy.
He is making time for Axanar, though.
Well, in that case, I guess anything's possible.
