but it's still going to be "TOS for the TNG era", which is exactly how Marco Palmieri described the series in the launch document back in '05.

Meh, I always felt that description fit New Frontier more.

That doesn't mean it doesn't describe Titan, though. A description can describe more than one thing. :p

No, but the fact that it tends to focus on just one aspect of TOS kind of detracts from the more rounded TOS feel, which is why I feel New Frontier did a better job since it focuses on more then just the planet of the week stories.
 
So the blurb for Sight Unseen is now up.

In the wake of political upheaval across the United Federation of Planets, Admiral William Riker and the crew of the U.S.S. Titan find themselves in uncertain waters as roles aboard the ship change to reflect a new mandate and a new mission. On orders from Starfleet, Titan sets out toward the edge of Federation space to tackle its latest assignment: to work with an alien species known as the Dinac, who are taking their first steps into the galaxy at large as a newly warp-capable civilization.

But when disaster befalls the Dinac, the Titan crew discovers they have unknowingly drawn the attention of a deadly, merciless enemy—a nightmare from Riker’s past lurking in the darkness. Friendships will be tested to the limit as familiar faces and new allies must risk everything in a fight against an unstoppable invader—or a horrific threat will be unleashed on the galaxy!

Hmm. Lurkers in the darkness from Riker's past? Could Pocket Books be following up on the solanogen-based lifeforms from TNG - "Schisms"? (Star Trek Online portrays them as an Iconian servitor species named the Solanae)

UGH, this sounds SO friggin' great. :scream:
 
We seriously do need a scene in which Lwaxana actually interacts with her granddaughter.

Oh, are Troi and Riker going to get an earful when they get round to finally taking Natasha to Betazed.

"You went ice-skating with the Andorians, you had plenty of time to actually let me see my only grandchild!" :p

Are you serious? I was thinking about it lately, that I missed scenes with Lxwaxana and her grandchild. She must be beside herself :lol:. Lxwaxana can handle kids.
 
Yeah, it would be lot of fun to see Luxana again. Have we even heard anything about what she's been up to since he end of the Dominion War?
