Janeway returning to Trek Lit? (Possible Spoilers)

Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

SPOILER:













Another "prominent" couple on Voyager has found out they are expecting in this book, so that might be the only birth to be anticipated in the (hopefully) next Voy. novel, heh.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

Thank you, Facebook's Star Trek Books Community, for totally spoiling the end in a facebook newsfeed update without ANY warning. Fuck you, you fucking idiot. Unlike.

And goodbye, avoiding this thread because maybe they'll have a few other suprises in the book when I actually get to read it.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

Well that totally sucks. Though it's nice that KJ's return is not just another random Treklit development but spoiler-worthy.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

Nope. Who knows how she could be returning, she could have been some quasi-Q-esque-force. Hovering over the crew like on the cover. Or she could have been returning as Chak's spirit guide (my god that would sucked).
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

It might have been kind of amusing in the book if a super-large KJ had suddenly appeared in the DQ fluttering over Voyager, like some rogue spirit-goddess, lol, altho may have also seemed sort of wacky, heh.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

finally got mine from the bookstore - will do my best not to read it whilst "working . . ."
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

I am a bad fan. I enjoy protesting more than reading. I still do not have the book.

In my defence I want to buy it in a bookstore to photograph the momentous occasion of the end of my boycott of Treklit. Buying it on ebay seems weak. But it is (so far) not in any book store in Melbourne including the one that gets them sent by air.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

I preordered it a couple of months ago from Amazon.co.uk. I just checked, expected delivery date is THE END OF SEPTEMBER. Others are reading it now. In England.

I don't think I'm going to bother preordering from Amazon any more....

I know... it ticked me off that Barnes & Noble was distributing it 5 days before Amazon claimed it was even being released! :wtf:

I ordered mine 8/3, and its earliest delivery date is 9/4-9/10. :scream:
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

People have already finished reading the damn book, and all the local bookstores near me STILL DON'T HAVE THE FREAKING BOOK!:scream::scream:

I am clearly lacking patience in this instance, as you can probably tell. :lol:

VP -- that's what the express shipping feature at amazon was invented for ... ;-)

Worth a flight to Sydney.

High praise from the Andorian!

That's happened to me with them before, definitely not worth it.

hmm... 4 copies on ebay, 3 in the UK and 1 in the US.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

Okay I've ordered ET and CoT from dvd.co.uk. Only 5.92 for ET, no postage. If you've never ordered from this company they are awesome.
 
Re: Janeway returning to Trek Lit?

I'm with you, Teacake, on the "don't breed with Chakotay" thing. The J/Cers out there are already going flaky over the book; that would be the death knell for rational Trek board postings for weeks.

I don't think it would be a "death knell" per se, but it would definitely result in a lot of super-happy posters from the J/C side.

Me?

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about the whole "J/C breeding" thing. I'm happy for them to be together and happy in their relationship, but I would hope that it's a few books before we get a little "angry warrior" running around on Voyager. But judging by the trend with current Trek couples (Riker/Troi, Picard/Crusher), if J&C tie the knot it won't be long before a little bundle of joy follows.

But as for breed Janeway with whom? My question -- why breed with anyone? Some women are allowed to just have a career, you know. That said, if I see Janeway with anyone it'd have to be Picard. Equals, and all that. Plus there'd be the dinner conversations -- "remember our days in the Collective?" or "Which Quadrant of the universe do you prefer, or are you more into timeline divergences?" or "What was YOUR favourite alien possession, hun?" ... the possibilities are endless.
Janeway does seem to be the independent type, though I wouldn't take her out of contention for pairing up with someone. In the series she mentions on more than one occasion that she would like to have children.

Janeway/Picard? How very intriguing. I expect many tea/coffee debates to ensue ;):lol:

Because Janeway's and 7's baby would be soooo beautiful and probably grow up and take over the Collective as an auburn haired Borg Empress. After hunting down and eviscerating the Threshold babies to avenge her mother.

Though I'm not a J/7 shipper, that idea is rather intriguing. And the idea of an auburn haired Borg Empress is just badass.

J/7 is about as "intriguing" as KJ "breeding" with her command chair and makes about as much sense.

As for her "breeding" with Chuckles, it's worth noting that neither Crusher or Troi are leading a fleet.

That's not to say she wouldn't be able to do both, she is KJ after all, but I would guess she needs time to recover from....I dunno....being made queen of a race of cyborg vampire zombies. In any case, she already popped-out on of Chak's kids in an alternate universe.
