The Trek PJs are wonderful! Totally bizarre, but wonderful

I found a whole bunch of Trek novel e-books cheap on Google Play Books, so I got Duty, Honor, Redemption (The Signature Edition omnibus collecting the Wrath of Kahn, Search For Spock, and Voyage Home novelizations), TOS: Burning Dreams, and Seekers 1: Second Nature.

"The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, from 'The Next Generation' to JJ Abrams" by Mark A Altman & Edward Gross, plus Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore's. When I arrived home, by signed copy of David Gerrold's new Tribble script was waiting for me. A real tribble (onscreen in "The Trouble With Tribbles") wandered over for a look.

I had to get my hair cut, but got stuck in the bookstore and then in a comicshop so I ran out of time and money for the hairdressers (oops), But I did get this! :









Quite happy indeed!

Another calendar has arrived!

I was lucky enough to have won a Twitter give away from John Jackson Miller on the day of the 50th Anniversary for the first book in the Prey trilogy, and it arrived today! Signed by the man himself...

Very cool.

Finally found the Titan UK "Star Trek Beyond" movie magazine on the newsstand this week (comic shops got a different cover, but never saw that around either). This content is supposedly contained within the Titan Publishing hardcover book announced for November, but I couldn't pass this magazine by.

I received a message from Galaxy Bookshop in Sydney, but haven't been able to get in yet. They are holding the revamped 50th anniversary edition of "Boarding the Enterprise" for me ("... with a new introduction from David Gerrold and afterword from Robert Sawyer for Star Trek: The Original Series' 50th anniversary"), and a title called "Zero G", a new non-Trek SF novel co-authored by William Shatner (with Jeff Rovin).

Star Trek Destiny 50 years omnibus version thingy

Sorry, what is this one, exactly? Is it just the already-released Destiny omnibus, but with a 50th anniversary logo on it, or something?

That of course brings to mind the thought that this year would have been a great year to finally release DRG3's Crucible omnibus, with all of the (already written!) extra content...

Extra content?

It's a German rerelease of a previous omnibus with a different cover/backcover which ptetty much is a wraparound of the German covers of the individual titles. There are pics in the Picture the novelverse thread.

ETA:

Cross Cult will release a Special edition (limited to 999 copies) omnibus of the Destiny trilogy on September 8 and have now posted photos on their facebook:

Five new short stories, and one new preface. All written prior to the cancellation of the book. Details from the author himself in this post.

Oh, er, yes, that. Um, yes, I saw that in that thread. Even commented on it, I believe. Oops.

I always assumed the extra material got caught up in Harlan Ellison's complaint/lawsuit re the use of actual dialogue from "City" in the "Crucible" books and the Hallmark talking ornament. Whatever payout Ellison received was never disclosed, as is typical with such actions.

I took advantage of this month's e-book sale to get the entire TNG: Slings & Arrows minseries for only US$1.99 (plus tax).
