If Paramount's new publishing division were to reissue old Trek novels, what books would you want to see?

[Steve Roby]

I'm going to guess that SW novels make the authors more money than Star Trek novels. I don't know that for certain, but the Star Wars novels are always much higher in the charts at Amazon even if they cost more.

We can probably safely say that Star Wars novels make the owners of Star Wars IP more money than Star Trek novels do for Star Trek's IP owners. Either way, the novels are work for hire and copyrighted by the IP owners, not the authors, so nobody's making Stephen King money.

 

[The Wormhole]

Star Wars in general is more popular than Star Trek, at least among general audiences and merchandising.

A Stitch in Time (DS9 #27) - I haven't read this one, but a reissue would certainly shoot the scalpers selling it for hundreds of dollars on ebay in the foot, and that is plenty enough reason for me

I looked for it for years before giving in and reading it on kindle. Definitely books that are impossible to find would be worth reprinting but I don't know how lucrative that would be since they can all be bought digitally.

The novel recently received an unabridged audio adaptation (2023), narrated by the author. I was surprised that Pocket/Gallery didn't rerelease the hardcopy book to go with it.

The Crucible trilogy, with all the extra material that went unpublished when the omnibus was cancelled.

I didn’t know about that one, thank you for mentioning it!

Unfortunately, it seems like it might be an Amazon exclusive? I will try to remember to keep a look out for it in case it ever turns up on Kobo.

What I am finding is that sometimes Amazon exclusives end up at the library. For example, I can get Dungeon Crawler Carl at the library even though I don't see it at KOBO.
