Yeah, but then you read Children of the Storm, where Eden's giving orders on Voyager's bridge to Voyager's crew about running Voyager, and it feels a bit like a return to status quo.
I haven't read Children of the storm and sadly I don't intend to.
Up until very recently I was a Treklit completist but not any more.Outside of DS9r and Vanguard I will be cutting back considerably.
TNG-I hardly recognise (or care about),same goes forTitan,which feels ponderous at best.SCE seems off the table and TOS very sporadic.

I've read them all up to but not including Full Circle.
What about it being included in the back of a novel? I know Star Wars has done that with alot of their stuff that was originally released as ebooks.
Do you know that Vanguard is ending after the next two books?
I'm afraid a lot of loyal readers feel the same way, and it's a shame. When I recently packed up my TNG numbered novels, I realized that many of the ST writers have been doing this for decades. Perhaps what we need is a major influx of new writers who can revitalize the novels the way Beyer has brought Voyager back to life.
^^ The early 2000s is a decade ago. Time flies.
On second thought, maybe there just aren't writers out there who want to tackle the "universe" that has been created since the programs left the air? If it is daunting for readers to try to "catch up," imagine what it would be like for a writer to try to get a handle on it. Talk about creating your own job security!

You do still get newbies - myself and Mollman & Schuster are first-time Trek novelists this year (though we've done short stories before)
Marco said she was conceived for "Avatar" and he had her planted into the "n-Vector" comic mini-series, and a scene in "Maximum Warp" novel duology, to be a teaser for her role in "Avatar".
And yours is arguably the best novel to be published this year with Children of the Storm just behind.
As for Mollman and Schuster's story, that was the best in the latest Myriad Universe and only second to KRADS story in volume two when it comes to the Myriad Universe stories.
I for one am glad that "newbies" like yourself are given the chance at full novels given some of the less than good novels from some of the more recent "old" guard.
We can spin hypotheticals until the Talarian quasibovines come home, but it's pure pie-in-the-sky. The whole point of this, I figure, is to try to get the original ebook line going again. So they're not instantly going to turn around and print this on paper. If that ever happens, in some form or another, it'll be years from now, and I doubt anyone's making plans for it at this stage. As things stand now, this is an ebook only, period, end of story.
Which isn't exactly fair for those of us who like to physically feel a book in our hands.
