Looking for news about Treason - and found a bit

[Baerbel Haddrell]

I had a look around if I find new information about “Treason”. Amazon US is showing the cover but the description of the comic “Turnaround”.

Amazon UK and Amazon DE are showing the cover and a description that is a bit different from the earlier version I have seen before but I think also this one is a preliminary version:

Product Description
Three years have passed since the events of the previous New Frontier novel, Missing in Action, and tensions within the New Thallonian Protectorate are at fever pitch following the murder of Prime Minister Si Cwan. Captain Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the USS Excalibur face an uncertain future in the turbulent Andromeda Galaxy. The sudden power vacuum will have far-reaching consequences for them all, as lives and the very fate of Sector 221-G are catapulted into utter chaos. In Treason, the New Frontier storyline jumps ahead three years from the events depicted in Stone and Anvil, picking up again at a point of crucial change, where new and old Star Trek readers are at the same level of discovery for the series.

Andromeda Galaxy? I doubt it.

If that is the final version of the cover it seems I got my wish and there is no sword sticking in something or lying around. Instead we get an exotic world with a badge lying in the sand. I don`t think that is an improvement. I am actually disappointed.

Are we sure that's the actual cover? it features a TOS movie era badge...

There's nothing of substance there at all.

For that matter, it contradicts itself, first saying it's been three years since Stone and Anvil, then saying again it's been three years since Missing in Action (which, as we remember, was part of the original After the Fall three-year jump from the Stone and Anvil timeframe). At best, this confirms that whoever wrote that the new book would be jumping ahead again hasn't a clue what he or she was talking about, but then we rather suspected that before from the bit about Cwan's assassination and the sheer illogic of another jump.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

sounds like a load of tripe to me.

^Agreed. Sounds like a very baisic, early description. It doesn't really even say what this book is actually about.
