Enterprise books

I'm not going to give that away (plus the question is rather broad). Either check out memory-beta or there are only 3 books to read.
He writes her biography, entitled Vulcan Love Slave....
They were in some really terrible stories.
I thought the whole The Romulan War story was supposed to be a trilogy. Was I mistaken or did that get changed? I think I read it somewhere on here, not necessarily anywhere official or anything.

Nobody ever said it was going to be a trilogy, just that it was going to be more than one book.
Thanks for confirming Christopher. I must've just misread or read a little too much into something I read in one of the posts on here. Either that or I was having one of my too much OT, too little sleep induced spirit walks and dreamed the whole thing.

This interview with Margaret Clark states that the Romulan War was to be a 3-book series:

But that's in the interviewer's words, not Margaret's. It's possible Margaret just said she was considering the possibility of doing it as three books, and the interviewer jumped to the conclusion that it was a sure thing. I mean, it's from four years ago. Any plans that far in advance are bound to be tentative. Remember when A Time to... was going to be 12 books and Typhon Pact was going to be 6?
She's not in charge anymore though, is she? The last time I took an interest, there were layoffs as I recall.
Maybe a poor reception for the last ENT book, has led to the new Editor-in-Chief telling the author to condense his story into one book.
I'm only guessing. So be kind, offer me a blindfold and a last cigarette before pulling that trigger.

That's speculating well beyond the evidence. To the best of my knowledge, there was never a specific, locked-down plan to do X number of books. That one article from four and a third years ago suggested it, but I've heard Margaret and others talk about The Romulan War more recently than that, and to the best of my recollection, the number of books was not specified. My impression is that the intent was to be open-ended, to let it be as many books as the story needed to be.
The Romulan war books were originally planned to be a 3 book trilogy trilogy I asked Micheal the other day. and Micheal said the editors last year asked him to drop parts of In shariel jaws storylines and rewrite this story to fit into the Brave the storm novel so we get two Romulan war books in one novel.
^I don't recall hearing that. Source?
Sounds like the author himself. Actually, Clark told me this as well a couple years ago down at Comic-Con when I asked her about the future of the Enterprise relaunch. Her plan was a trilogy of three books for the Romulan War. She also had a long-range outline for additional Enterprise stories covering the founding of the Federation and the years right up to pre-TOS. Sadly, then she was let go, and the new editors apparently have decided to scale her plans back, asking the author to condense the story into two.
The Source is Micheal Martin himself I asked him about In shariel's jaws being dropped as a novel book 2 of a 3 book trilogy that was originally planned. and he told me the editors told him last year to cut back In shariels jaws storyline and have book 2 of the Earth/Romulan war to be featured in the upcoming To Brave the storm that wraps up the Romulan war storyhe had planned for book3.so we literally get 2 books in one novel. Micheal confirmed this news to me himself a few days ago.

Ahhh...
Sweet vindication.
I knew I'd read on here about this series being a trilogy. Granted, it wasn't through any official source like this and it's been a while but I was pretty sure it was sort of common knowledge once upon a time that this was supposed to be a trilogy.
I'm going back to sleep now. Goodnight everyone...

I seem to recall Margaret saying TRW would be a multi-book series and people immediately assuming it was to be three or four books (with someone asking if it was a four-year war - as once mentioned in a FASA RPG? - with one book per war year). Margaret then said she hadn't specified how many books it would take. Later, when Book 1 was announced as a trade, someone did say we were getting more than a normal length novel to kick it off.
