Missing in Action

[21Spike65]

Hi all,

I've been slowly building up my New Frontier collection so I can get around to reading the series, and I now have all but the latest three.

I know Missing in Action came out originally as a Trade Paperback. My question is, did it ever come out as a Mass Market, or was the trade the only version?

(And what's with the list price of $22.95?! Not that I'd need to pay that now, but that's one expensive Trade Paperback when most are $16...)

Thanks!

I'm fairly sure it was trade paperback only. I don't ever recall seeing it in mmpb.

Missing In Action first came out in hardback. The most recent book, Treason, is the one that originally came out in TPB. I'm fairly certain I saw a MIA MMPB at some point, though since I bought it in hardcover, I wasn't exactly looking for it.

Actually, it looks like it came out in hardcover, trade, and mmpb:

Never seen that before...!

Is the TPB entry legit? I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about it here, or at the Simon & Schuster website.

I guess so...found it at the S&S website:

MIA has certainly come out in MMPB, as I buy my Trek novels only in that format (looks better on the shelf).

The following NF novel - Treason - just came out as MMPB in the last month

I have the MIA hardcover, so I know it came out in that format.

Notice the date: 2008 for a trade reprint(?), the year there was no new NF novel slated. The hardcover came out in 2006, the MMPB reprint in 2007.

I have Missing in Action as both Trade Paperback and Mass Market Paperback. That's what happens when two people buy it for you from a Christmas List.

Huh, guess I must have missed that. So is MIA the only Trek to have come out in all three formats?

 

[captcalhoun]

AFAIK, yup.

 

[Thrawn]

Weird.

 

[Allyn Gibson]

So is MIA the only Trek to have come out in all three formats?

Some of the Signature Edition trade reprints of several years ago contained books that had been previously printed in both hardcover and trade. But MIA may well be the only book that on its own saw all three formats.

Likewise, Star Trek: Countdown is, to date, the only Star Trek comic to be printed in floppies, trade, and hardcover.

Thanks everyone! I saw the three entries on Amazon, but I'd never seen a Star Trek book in all three formats so I wanted to check to see if they were all real.
