Section 31: Control news

Ain't no follow either up to Section 31: Rogue, wherein Picard and Batanides become aware of their old friend Zweller's involvement in Section 31.
 
I'm very much looking forward to David's new Section 31 novel.... but I'm really REALLY hoping the Anti-31 Cabal at least factors in the story in some way.

I've been curious about the Anti-31 cabal since the original 31 books and I'd love to see Vaughn's influence on Bashir being a contributing factor in 31's eventual downfall.
 
Agreed!! The Cabal was introduced as something important, I felt. And was basicly dropped afterwards. So let's hope something more is done with them.
 
Looks like it's coming April 2017!

From the New York Times bestselling author David Mack comes an original, thrilling Section 31 novel set in the Star Trek: The Next Generation universe!

No law…no conscience…no mercy. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, and answering to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group pledged to defend the Federation at any cost. The discovery of a two-hundred-year-old secret gives Doctor Julian Bashir his best chance yet to expose and destroy the illegal spy organization. But his foes won’t go down without a fight, and his mission to protect the Federation he loves just end up triggering its destruction. Only one thing is for certain: this time, the price of victory will be paid with Bashir’s dearest blood.
 
That's odd, since the other thread has Amazon saying that the April book is Beyer's. Maybe this is the May book, which actually comes out in late April?

Regardless of order, if Christopher's First Federation novel and then these four are the first five books, 2017 is shaping up nicely so far!

Technically The Face of the Unknown is the last novel of the 2016 novel slate -- dated January '17, but out in late December. A "novel year" is considered to go from February to January by official publication date. So I'm juuuuuust getting in at the tail end of the anniversary year.
 
Still waiting for news about Section 31: Khaos. :p
You're 20 posts too late on that one.

I'm personally looking forward to the last Secton 31 story. Ever.

BTW: Is it just my imagination, or is Memory Beta steadily getting more obnoxious with their Javascript, (and their noisy, self-starting ad videos that fly in the face of netiquette), and less informative with their content?

It's not just Memory Beta, self starting videos that fly around and block what your looking at seem to be the new normal. I got a plugin, I can't remember what it's called, that at least stopped videos from auto playing. It doesn't prevent the jumping out video, I'm still working on that part.

Well, they need to make an income somehow beyond I assume user donations and I bet with your steam powered dial-up internet, that can course a few issues or have you updated that now?
 
I am pretty sure that the MB editors don't get any income from any ads on Memory Beta. It probably all goes to Wikia.

Yeah, Wikia is a for-profit ad-funded company. There's no user donations involved, and individual wikis on the platform don't see any money from the ads.
 
Wikia finds new ways to get worse every year.

Anyone know where the picture of Alexander Siddig on the cover of Control comes from? He looks a lot like he does in Primeval. (Which, I think, is peak sexiness for Siddig.)
