^Well, ya know what they say:
Time flies when you're having fun--
"Which until now has always confused me...."

I did think about that, there could certainly be a big lot of new movie books out in 2011, on the other hand the editors might want to avoid setting too much in that universe due to the fact that you don't want books out that completely contradict the new film, right on top of said film. Could go either way.
And we've had a block of three DS9 books before, and next year brings us a whole bunch of TOS books, for which there's room in the schedule despite the large number of NuTrek books also out that year And since a lot of those TOS books focus on characters who weren't even in the ST09, it doesn't seem like that choice was made to 'cash in' on the ST09 success, but rather because we haven't had many TOS books for ages.
Not saying it will happen, just again, we don't really know. So it makes no sense to consider some series abandoned.
Maybe that would be a good time to do a Kelvin novel, say. Something that's in the film's universe but avoids any area that might conflict with the film. Just speculating, though. It's not my decision.
I thought we were past the "abandoned" stuff and on to the topic of when and how we might see the "jump" in the DS9 chronology filled in.
Here's somethin':
Hey--what are the odds that a tale's gonna come out soon on how George Kirk's years on the Kelvin were SUPPOSED to go (i.e. in the "Prime" Universe)?

I generally don't reread books. I've only done that once in the last eight years and that was rereading the DS9 Relaunch before Unity came out.
Just too many out there as it is.
But I don't want to read the other Treks. I just want to read my favorite brand of Trek. TNG all the way, baby!
DES
"There's coffee in that nebula!"
(with our luck it would be decaf)
How many characters does TNG have to lose before it stops being TNG? No Yar, no Wesley, no O'Brien, no Data, no Troi, no Riker... Seems to me that "Riker & Troi on Titan" novels would count as TNG, so that adds some titles to your pile.
See, I was like that with DS9, but remember the series are being written by much the same set of authors, giving much the same sort of stories. You'd probably enjoy them a lot.
But liking it or not liking it did not have much of an effect an Enterprise Book being released every year for the past few years so far. So we don't even need to wait and see. Obviously people are liking what's come so far since we actually got to the stage where the Romulan War kicked off. There was a lot of talk of getting closer to where we would see it being a true prequel to TOS.
^As I recall, one of TPTB claimed that the Romulan War books would give clues as to why the "look" of TOS is so apparently "primitive" in comparison to ENT.
I think it was Margaret Clark--but I'm not certain....

I myself am excited for "Unspoken Truth" by Margaret Wander Bonanno. I know very little about the author though.
And you're getting a much thicker book than normal. So just read half of it, and save half for next year!
^AWESOME!
So...we talkin' Crucible: McCoy length, or what...?

Who knows, but it was originally promoted as a multi-volume MMPB series, then switched to (at least) one chunky trade instead.
Multi-volume, eh? In that case, we might be talkin' Atlas Shrugged length....
Or even (shudder) War And Peace length!
Nah...not that bad. But still, I tend to get excited by the sight of a SUPER-novel. It's usually a sure sign that says, "Epic Complexity Awaits...."
Like Atlas Shrugged...and War And Peace.
