That's because the VGR novel got delayed because KMFB is busy working on DSC. but it is a bit surprising nothing was moved into the now-empty May slot.
New 2017 titles and blurbs - DTI, McCormack DS9, and more!
- Thread starter DarkHorizon
- Start date
It'd be a bit too early for this DRG3 Original Sin novel, isn't it?
Edit: Nevermind, it's scheduled for December, my bad.
Maybe not a whole year in advance, but IIRC usually by the end of February we know about the rest of the calendar year. Here we are just past the middle of February, and there's still three months we know nothing about.
That's a by-product of Kirsten Beyer's next Voyager novel being delayed. Originally, the Discovery TPB being scheduled in mid-May was supposed to make up for that, but with that delayed until the fall when the show premieres, well now we just have a month's gap.
Yeah. I liked when back in the days we got the schedule for basically the next 15-18 months at the Shore Leave convention. That was mainly a (Ordover?)/Marco/Krad thing, though, that some of the authors continued after Marco's departure. But these days there really isn't any information directly from the editor anymore with the exception of one time two or three years ago where Margaret did that podcast interview.
Ok. I was thinking they had only been announcing them 5 or 6 months in advance.
OT, but rereading what I wrote I guess I'm officially an old fart now throwing around "Back in the days".
Apologies, should have mentioned knowing re: the postponement of Architects of Infinity having to do with the "hole" in the spring Trek novel schedule. And that the Discovery novel #1 is being re-scheduled too. Was just wondering if Pocket Books will then let most of May "lie fallow", if so, guess that's too bad.

Yes that will be a dissapointment. I feel like things aren't going as smoothly on the editorial end of things lately as they could.
Prey was announced in August 2015 (although not full titles - that was by March 2016).
As far as a replacement for the DIS slot, my guess is that it is too late in the publishing cycle to slot something in that soon. Moving something up is unlikely - deadlines, printing schedules, and so forth will have been set some time ago. Even reprinting something like SCE would take some time - last time it happened (2010), seven months elapsed between knowing the Abrams books were off the slate and when the first reprint was released.
Yeah, I suspect that's the case. As mentioned above, at this point, it's just too late to get anything, even a re-print into that slot.
Honestly, I'm basing things on 2012, though I concede it may be a flawed idea to use the way things were five years ago as a precedent. Anyway, I remember a conversation with a friend at the end of February (or possibly the first week of March) in which we were discussing the blurbs for all three Cold Equations books.
Really? Damn, my memory is flawed.....
Is the Discover book leaving a hole in the schedule? I thought it was a trade or hardcover that didn't take up a MMPB slot.
McCoy dies in the Crucible novels of a good age, 140
And then with the age of 154 he helped after the Borg Invasion
Weren't you involved in the conversation the other day about Dave the Thirds other book this year? Anyway, it's unknown if it's even a Trek book (although that looks likely) let alone Deep Space Nine or something else.
