Star Trek: Discovery - Die Standing by John Jackson Miller

Ah, OK, thanks - that clears it up nicely. Just took a closer look at the copy of Collateral Damage and there the "new" name is.

 

The first Trek novel issued under “Gallery” was the 7 deadly sins anthology.

 

Well, the first Trek book. An anthology is not a novel.

 

We need more Lorca books. He’s the only good character from Discovery.

 

I'm pretty sure you'll find things to like. As with Enterprise War, I looked at it as a chance to provide a TV season you didn't get -- and the chance to tell an adventure story while exploring the ramifications of such a person being loose in our continuum. If the feedback I've gotten is any indication, you'll find it worth the trip!

 

Thanks JJ.
I loved the “Prey” series and I will be getting this too.
Your books remind me of the Reeves-Stevens’ novels(high praise from me) in that you often use plot devices and situations from past episodes and books to go deeper and establish a sense of larger continuity.
Trek can be enormously wasteful of characters and set-ups,good for one episode and never mentioned again.

 

Disagree with the second part, but massively agree with the first.

 

Sounds really interesting. Very much onboard for this. (Mainline Georgiou was my favorite character in the previous novels, so seeing another iteration is really exciting.)

Yeah, I don't really get why some people are so insistent on using the first three letters, given that the ostensible reason is for uniformity with the other title abbreviations -- completely ignoring the fact that that uniformity doesn't exist.

 

I am really looking forward to this.
One of the strange coincidences of publishing - Titan are releasing Una McCormack’s Janeway biography on the same day so will be a big day for Trek Lit.

The definition of a first world problem is that I will be on holidays so will have to wait until I get home to get them, even though they would be great beach reads

 

Emony was the olympic gymnast. What's she doing discovering intergalactic menaces? Intergalactic doping scandal maybe?

 

Here’s hoping we get an audiobook of this, read by Mulgrew.

 

Heh! No, I'll just say there are no occupational requirements when it comes to being in the wrong place at the wrong time...

 

I've gone with Disco every since we saw the crew members wearing shirts with that on them in the show.

 

Not sure it rolls off the tongue as well as "DSC." Also, do we really want to associate something with disco?

 

One would think that novelists would be allowed to do pretty much whatever they wanted with (prime) Lorca now, since the show apparently won't.

Not unless Discovery makes it back to the 23rd century, anyway.

 

Or maybe Lorca somehow makes it to the 32nd century?

 

Maybe he's from the 32nd century?!

Like the cover. Not a fan of the "slap actor publicity photo on cover and call it good" designs. [Edit: Just realized that it's a placeholder. Aw, man.]

Has it been announced when the book takes place in relation to the TV show, yet?

 

Pretty sure S31 is set in the 23rd century, and will feature Georgiou, Ash Tyler and others "left behind"
