New 2017 titles and blurbs - DTI, McCormack DS9, and more!

So, I noted this earlier...
Interestingly, that leaves a gap in the schedule at the moment - no May book (end of April street date) is currently listed. Could it be a space for David Mack's Discovery novel (although it might be released later in the month than normal, depending on the series airdates...)? Alternatively, the schedule may not yet have caught up with the delay to Kirsten's Architects of Infinity.

And, today, something has appeared:

Discovery #1, by David Mack.

Street date - 23 May 2017. Price ($16) and format suggest we may be getting a trade paperback?
 
Just pre-ordered it on Amazon.de, eBook, €12.43.

Any plans for an ENT book coming up?
New Frontier is on hiatus again, right?
 
Yeah, I'm pretty psyched! Does the E-E look a bit off to anyone else? Must be the angle, but the saucer length looks a bit short.

Makes sense. IIRC, trade paperbacks have a shorter turnaround time than MMPBs, so they tend to show up when there's less advance time available (the last several movie and episode novelizations, for instance).

Looks like the shot was done with a (virtual) zoom lens, so the perspective is flattened out. We usually see the ships shot with a wider lens and a closer distance, to make them look since and big with lots of perspective.
 
So, I'm going to be honest.... Not so psyched about Una's new DS9 novel as I thought I could be. I loved her earlier novels, and The Neverending Sacrifice is still one of the best novels I know in TrekLit. But her latest novel, I actually forgot the titel, was very underwhelming for me. I'm just not a fan of Pulaski, so knowing Una's writing about her again..... Then again, there will be Garak, so I can hope.
