Spoilers NO SPOILERS FOR CODA - A Lit-verse Grand Finale...What We Know (Spoilers for Entire Lit-verse)

It seems to me that the SCE could have done something similar for the Romulan worlds. The Core worlds are goners, obviously, since the star goes supernova, but for nearly worlds, within about 100 light-years and at risk of sterilization from the wavefront, the SCE could build giant planetary shields, thousands of emiters flying in tandem that would be oriented between the inhabited world and the Romulan supernova, to create a shield that would take the radiation.

I posited in Mere Anarchy that something very much like that was being done to shield worlds from the one-two punch of the Minara and Beta Niobe supernovae occurring within a few months of each other. (Man, Trek really overuses supernovae as a plot device.)

I thought the idea was familiar! I was like, "I know I got this from somewhere..." All credit, sir!

One thing I find most fascinating and exciting about Coda, is that it's a break from the "normal" tie-in formula. Normally, everything ties directly to the canon, anything that doesn't is ignored or explained away. But Coda is an acknowledgement that the novelverse isn't the prime/TV/P+/Kurtzman universe. And even though until now they've been playing by the established tie-in rules, here at the very end they can do anything they want.

There is that going for it, yes.

I'm also curious if anything from David Mack's last planned novelverse finale, the Old Picard version of Cold Equations 3, made it into this version of the novelverse's end?

Mmmmm... could be.

 

[F. King Daniel]

I can't wait! I haven't been this hyped for a Trek novel in a long time.

 

[Reanok]

I'm looking forward to reading this book miniseries when it comes out in a few months..

As for the cover, it is a bit underwhelming - the phaser error notwithstanding (the fact that it bisects the logo bothers me as well), I was hoping for something a bit more epic to go along with the scale of the story. Assuming it is a triptych, I can see the parallels with the Cold Equations covers in the linked background possibilities, but a simple forward-angled-ship image doesn't really evoke much for me. Presumably, the others will be Titan and possibly Aventine?

Just wait until CrossCult unveils their covers.

The release date has also been moved back two weeks, to October 26, so there are no longer two weeks between books one and two and six weeks between two and three, but a more reasonable month-long gap between each.

I much prefer the new date. I loved the two weeks between books, but six weeks after that was going to be killer.

That cover looks great!

 

[DS9Continuing]

Damn it, I was not supposed to be getting excited! I was supposed to be cynical and dismissive and over it, like I was over the Doctor Who 50th until they released the McGann short and finally I was like "Alright fine, they've got me" and I'm now feeling the same over these damn covers. Sorcerers, the lot of you!

[DimesDan]

Looks epic.

When all three are released, I will, and I'm sure many others will use it as a desktop background.

 

[Ronald Held]

A month between each of them is tolerable m

 

[DS9forever]

Very nice cover for book 2.

 

[Reanok]

Nice cover art for book 2 I really like it alot.!

 

[JD]

Nice cover for Ashes of Tomorrow.

The novelverse coming to it's close makes me wish Eaglemoss or someone would do a Star Trek novelverse collection. Imagine reprints of everything, and a magazine interviewing the author and detailing the endless references to the rest of the Trekverse with every issue. Or maybe they could do it Fact Files style and build up a novelverse Encyclopedia.

And then go beyond the novelverse and cover all Trek lit.

A man can dream.

Or even just a companion to Voyages of Imagination that covers the Litverse era, and, as you say, maybe devotes a little less space to reprinting back cover matter and a little more to annotations.

And maybe a new timeline or something

I know just the folks to make it! They even have nearly all the work already completed!
