Has there been any word on if the will eventually release a smaller version to line up with all the previous releases of the series
Sit it beside "No Limits".
^Agreed, its more grown-up than previous NF covers. It looks like their almost rebranding the New Frontier series. New print format, new title font, new combadge, no sword: Are they hoping to revitalise the series?

And I still miss that ship
The cost difference is not a problem. It's just the "look". I know it's a minor detail. If the future books will also be printed in this format, then I guess it doesn't matter. Re-branding may make this series an even stronger seller
how well does NF usually sell? I'm guessing quite well as the last few books have been hardcover...

^I don't have exact numbers, but from what i've heard, the series sells quite well. At least it did when it first came out in 1997, and for several years afterward.
Does anyone have sales figures for this series? How about sales figures for any of the books. Now i'm curious how well Trek-lit sells in general...

Pocket doesn't give out sales numbers to the public.
Damn! Why not
? Are they afraid people won't buy the books if sales figures are too low? I'd like to know how many people actually read the books. I know there are a bunch of us here who do (and some who don't
), but of course, fans on the BBS are truer than most....have they ever released estimates. I don't need exact numbers, just a ball park figure would be nice...especially with books released in the last few years.
. Oh well....
what blurb?
I'm really excited about this book. Reading a new 'New Frontier' book is like catching up with old friends. And I've been missing these guys.

Agreed! We haven't had a book since 2006? 2007?...it's about time

The "New Frontier" storyline was continued by both of PAD's "Mirror Universe" stories (2007, 2009) and the IDW comic mini-series, "Turnabout" (2008).

Wasn't Turnabout it's own thing? Weren't there some inconsistencies (like Jellico's rank pips) that PAD explained away as the comic being its own thing?
I haven't read the mirror universe stuff yet. Does it work as the next story after Missing in Action? I thought that the mirror stuff only happened in the actual mirror universe and didn't affect the "regular" universe...
How many ST episodes have featured incorrect rank pips? Lots!
"Turnabout" made crucial use of the events and characters ofi the first NF "Mirror Universe" storyline, and continued the story arcs of many characters, especially Robin Lefler, Mark McHenry, Soleta and Morgan Primus. I expect these to be followed up in "Treason".
