OT: Non-Trek Tie Ins discussion thread
- Thread starter Defcon
- Start date
Hey folks! If you're fans of the Trek fiction by me and/or @Christopher then you really should check out the latest eSpec Books Kickstarter, which is for seven (7) books, including one of my novels (the urban fantasy Feat of Clay, the sequel to A Furnace Sealed, about a guy from NYC who hunts monsters for a living) and one of Christopher's short story collections (Aleyara's Descent and Other Stories, featuring a mess of science fiction stories in the same vein as Christopher's Trek work), as well as two steampunk novels (one by Ef Deal and one by Christine Norris), a superhero novel (by Ty Drago), and two other collections (one by Christopher J. Burke, one by Lisanne Norman).
There's only 55 hours left as I type this, and while we're funded and with TONS of bonuses, we're still shy of the brass ring, which is to do limited-edition hardcovers of the books. Please do check the crowdfund out. You can find more information at the eSpec blog, including interviews, readings, and excerpts.
Thanks muchly!

Oh, I've neglected to mention that my GODZILLA novelization is being reprinted in an ominibus volume that also included Greg Keyes' novelization of GODZILLA, KING OF MONSTERS.
Double the Greg, double the the Godzilla.
Coming from Titan in August.

Oh, great! That means both my Marvel novels are finally available as e-books as well as audiobooks.
I wonder why my Spidey novel got collected into an omnibus but not my X-Men novel. I think Pocket did at least three X-Men novels while it had the license (not counting Wolverine solo novels), but I'm not certain.
I have the German Stargate-Books at home - some of them even written by Wolfgang Hohlbein, who's not that unknown in German "Phantastik"-Novels, the novelization of the Pilot was done by Martin Eisele and then one Frank Rehfeld wrote one tie-in. But the amount of the english Stargate-Novels is... amazing.
The omnibuses and the standalone novels were rereleased by different publishers, the omnibuses are from Titan Books, and the stand alone novels are from Open Road Media.
The point is, Pocket Star did three X-Men novels including mine, so Titan could have collected them in an omnibus too, but didn't. The only other Pocket Star omnibus they released contained three solo Wolverine novels. (They also did omnibuses of three Byron Preiss-published trilogies from the '90s.) Maybe they hoped to do more but the sales didn't warrant it.
The 2005-9 Pocket Star line included four Spidey novels, four Fantastic Four novels, three X-Men novels, six Wolverine solo novels, and two Ultimates novels. So we could've potentially gotten an X-Men omnibus, a second Wolverine omnibus, and an FF omnibus, with four novels left over.
