Is it Martin and Mangels writing The Romulan War again - or just Martin? Eitherway, much as I like them and their writing, I'm a tad concerned about them writing the third novel too. I'm worried it will turn into the VOY Relaunch with one writer helming control and turning it into their vision which could disgruntle some fans. IMHO, the reason the DS9 Relaunch, Titan and Vanguard work so very well is because they're written by multiple authors who each contribute their own style and feel to the series.
I see no need to take issue with Ian just because he disagrees with you. I do agree that Star Trek books are not worth fretting or arguing over but I didn't see either happening and Ian was just trying to be helpful and perhaps change your perspective so you could appreciate the books more. Just like many other things in life people have differences of opinions. It seems you have a very strange perspective and philosophy toward life and what dictates your actions. Maybe that will change as you get older!
