Shore Leave 2016

[ryan123450]

Looks like the TrekLit panel at this year's Shore Leave is tomorrow at 5 Eastern. Anybody here going to be there?

All of us who can't make it want details. It'd make alot of people's day if it could be live streamed somehow!

So jealous right now. I was there in 2014. Sigh.

Stupid transporter. "Scotty!"

So, any announcements made over the weekend at Shore Leave for Treklit?

Or Stargate?

 

[James Swallow]

Wish I could be there this weekend....!

Only thing I could find is a pre-panel post by @Dayton Ward, not spilling out anything other than that something will be announced/named:

Okay, Star Trek book lovers, come and get the latest lowdown on upcoming titles! Join us at 5pm in Salon A for all the deets!

I know of at least one new project which can finally be given a title and perhaps a little tease.......................................

And he posted what is was about:

For those of you who are interested, I was able to announce the next Star Trek novel I'm writing for Pocket: HEARTS AND MINDS. It's another Next Generation tale, set after the events of HEADLONG FLIGHT, the book that's still winding its way through the production process. I don't know yet about the publication date, but I'm guessing late 2017.

This will be another exploration story, with the Enterprise continuing its investigation of the Odyssean Pass, and a planet that--despite everything listed in official records--has apparently been visited before by people from Earth.

Naturally, this begs for some kind of twist for Picard and the gang, so....

Asked in the comments if the novel really was From History's Shadow III he replied:

There is definitely a good deal of connective tissue between this book and From History's Shadow and Elusive Salvation.

Make of that what you will.......

On Twitter, when I mentioned it'd be fun to see Picard's crew interacting with Gary Seven's gang, Dayton replied:

I've changed things up a bit this time, but there are still links between this one and From History's Shadow/Elusive Salvation.

Of course, I hadn't seen the description about the Enterprise encountering an unknown planet that had been visited by Earth at that time, so I was just basing my speculation off the "History's Shadow Part 3" bit.

Oh, cool idea - I love it when authors make connections between different eras they've written in (like how various Mack stories keep visiting or being influenced by the Mirror Universe).

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

Very cool news. Thanks for posting this, Defcon!

 

[JD]

Yeah, I love that too.

 

[Reanok]

The news about Dayton's next novel is fantastic news But I was wondering Is there any news about a new Enterprise novel by Christopher Bennett?

 

[ClayinCA]

I'm eternally hoping for news of a new Trek book from KRAD.

 

[VulcanMindBlown]

I was there.

 

[Reanok]

Vulcan mind blown could you please tell us any news about the new Star trek books coming out please. Any news about a new Enterprise novel. I really haven't seen any news announce ments about the books from Shore leave yet.

 

[The Wormhole]

IIRC, the only announcement made was the new Dayton Ward novel mentioned above.

 

[Reanok]

There's going to be a new DTI book by Christopher Bennett also there's a chance if the Strange New worlds e books sale well they'll print a paper copy of the books there's also going to be a another Hidden Universe travel guide book of the Klingon Empire by Dayton ward.

I'm sorry, my brain is not good at remembering things and writing them down while listening, but I was there for the panel.

I'm pretty sure we've already heard about all of those. They really seem to save all the big announcements for Shore Leave like they used to. I've gotten the impression over the last few years that that was more of a Marco Palmieri thing.

 

[ryan123450]

And alot of fun it was. Now though it seems Margaret lets alot of new info out on a podcast every so often.

 

[Christopher]

I've gotten the impression over the last few years that that was more of a Marco Palmieri thing.

I think so, pretty much, since he now does the same thing for Tor Books, in the same time slot formerly used for the Pocket presentations (Friday at 9, just before Meet the Pros).
