    Could be another Lost Era novel as well.

    Um, why? I mean, has that anything to do with the new DRG3 novel, or am I missing something?

    That would be great too.

    Una McCormack has also written DS9 in that time, The Missing in 2014, and Enigma Tales, which will come out this June.

    I haven't read The Missing yet (and Enigma Tales, obviously...) but I was under the impression that it was a side story like Force and Motion and that the DRG3 books advanced the overall story.

    Oh, sorry, I didn't see where you said main DS9 storyline, I thought you just said DS9.

    Well someone said it could be a TOS novel. It could be a Voyager novel. It could be anything really.

    Well, it could be anything but seeing as DRG3 only wrote DS9, TOS and TLE it seems more likely that it is one of those. Also, I absolutely hate the idea of Kirsten leabing VGR. That would be really, really terrible.

    DRG did write Voyager, he co-wrote the story for the episode Prime Factors.

    Huh, I did not know that. I have no memory of that episode at all, so I'll rewatch it tomorrow.

    Ah, Prime Factors. Definitely a contribution to the aliens with silly costumes list.

    I know David and Una have Ds9 novels coming out and I was excited we're getting new stories coming out from these writers.

    There is an old saying about making assumptions. As for a third DS9 book this year as written by Dave the Third, I'd rather he didn't play in that sand box any more, the quality of his story telling has declined radically.

    I bloody hope not, although if anyone was to take over the mantle of KMFB and Voyager, I'd rather have @Christopher with a fucking brilliant editor watching his back.

    What? I think I can see what you're trying to say, but it hurts my head trying to decipher what you wrote.

    I am not really a big fans of his recent works, but they were tolerable. I liked his Typhon Pact books and the DS9 story in Revelation and Dust was quite good, the Kira story terrible and his two other DS9 novels I haven't finished yet, but I found them readable.

    KMFB leaving Voyager is probably the worst thing that could happen to TrekLit right now, but if that happened Christopher would be the person I'd trust the most with picking up the mantle. Of course that would mean that we'd get less new RotF and DTI stories.

    If DRGIII has a new Trek novel later this year, I'd love for it be more Enterprise-B in the Lost Era series. :D

    I've had my fill of the Enterprise-B. I'm hoping we're done with that for a while.

    I prefer a story about Captain Sulu on the Excelsior (A?) in the 24th century

    Sorry about my previous post my internet crashed before I got to edit my previous post to say I was so glad that David Mack and Una had new Ds9 books coming out this year. I'm also glad we get another Enterpise Novel and the new Voyager book by Kirsten Beyer.I really like her novels.

    That could be good aswell, although no Excelsior-A please. Either Excelsior with a new registry, or a story set on the old Excelsior
