I'm planning on starting the Abramsverse novels soon, and one of the things I've been most curious about has been what happens with Carol post STID.
Kirk and Carol Marcus's relationship in the movie era novels
- Thread starter borgboy
- Start date
Well the Abramsverse young adult novels aren't going to answer that question, since they are set during the first film.
Those set after STID do include Carol, yes.
Interesting. So does this mean The Ashes of Eden could be considered compatible with the Litverse continuity? Or is there something else in it that still keeps it incompatible like the rest of the Shatnerverse?Gotcha covered-- it's about midway down on p. 73:
The Ashes of Eden, given its setting, is about the only Shatnerverse novel that is compatible with the rest of the novelverse. I had forgotten that it was referenced in Cast No Shadow.
That being said, there's no reason a later novel can't contradict the events of AoE. Even recent novels have either explicitly or implicitly contradicted ones that are only a few years old.

During the 5YM era, she also appeared in the Star Trek 25th Anniversary PC game from Interplay, having inadvertently developed a virus lethal to Vulcanoid lifeforms, and her research station under attack from Romulans during the game's storyline.
^Hmm. The 25th Anniversary game was another one that I own but never managed to finish, even with cheat notes (I was just talking about The Kobayashi Alternative in another thread). I could use the cheat notes to help me crack the missions, but the space battle scenes in between were my bane. I don't remember the Carol Marcus part. I do remember that the game was in the TOS timeframe, so it would've been a prequel to TWOK.
It would've been the third mission, if that helps; does Vulcan laughing gas sound familiar?
^Nope. Been a long time. I mainly remember the first mission, because for ages I just couldn't get past it.
I meant comics, I don't know why I wrote novels. That's what I get for posting while I'm watching TV.
This thread has reminded me that I still need to read Inception. I've had it sitting in my too read bookcase since it came out, but never actually gotten around to reading it.
I've started re-reading Ashes of Eden, and in the beginning Kirk is in a relationship with Carol. They break up pretty quickly, but it's well written and surprisingly consistent with Shadows of the Sun after all. I had forgotten all about this even though I'd read it before.
