Where DS9 goes next - will there be followup to all the plot threads and chracterisation of the DRG novels, up to Revelation and Dust, and/or the missing years?
We're only 2 years away from Trek's 50th anniversary. Can you drop any hints about what we can expect to see in the way of a celebration?
Will the novels be featuring the Hobus supernova and destruction of Romulus in 2387, or will the event be 'skipped over' do to some legal issue with concepts originating in the new movies (regardless of in-universe timelines)?
There are no "legal issue with concepts originating in the new movies." Everything Star Trek is owned by CBS/Paramount.
Then perhaps I should modify my question to "...or have Pocket been told to keep away from concepts originating in the new movies?"
I smell an upcoming episode of Literary Treks... My question would be when/ if we are going to get the story of DS9's missing years.
Nothing has really changed since those four novels were shelved. I seem to recall the quote was that Pocket was leaving that timeline alone "for now". (Which probably means "until Bad Robot has completed its film sequence.")
If it means there's no need for treklit to address the ludicrous Hobus supernova or to lose spock, I wouldn't mind missing any '09 concepts.
There's a HUGE difference between ignoring a tie-in comic and the movie itself. There's so much cool stuff in the movie which pertains to Primeverse Trek - Romulus' destruction, and the Red Matter WMD being top of the list (transwarp beaming is touched upon at the very end of Indistinguishable From Magic, although we may never find out where Scotty materialzed). It would be such a shame to see them swept under the rug instead of featured.
There is the possibility that they use some of the ideas, but craft it differently. But since that is canon, who knows right now.
Are there going to be anymore standalone Enterprise novels based on the different seasons of the show or other standalone ds9 novels that don't have anything to do with the Typhon pact.It's nice to have standalone novels that aren't part of a complicated plot or storyarcs and then the books get canceled liked what happened with The Romulan war novel by Micheal A.Martin.
