The authors have already said there won't be a war. In fact, the impression I've gotten from the authors posts is that they might not neccisarily be overly agressive twoards the Federation.
Star Trek novels in 2010, starting with "Inception" this January

GFS, just in case you don't know, Shore Leave is a convention in Baltimore that most of the current authors go to, and where alot of the major book announcements are made.
i don't 'do' twitter and my Facebook page is only there because i was asked to join by a girl i was at college with and who has since ignored me!
^ I don't do either--have no reason to.
Thanks Allyn - I will definitely check that out!Google "Secret History of Star Wars." There's a PDF book floating around out there that has the answers you seek.Man, that sounds so much better than what we did get...
Since the Breen are part of the Typon Pact, maybe they're going to bust out the old energy-dampening weapon. They might have found a way to make it more resilient to the Federation's counter measures.
Why does everyone default to the assumption that this is going to be merely another war/combat story?
^Don't know--maybe we're reading too much into the word "awaken".
Personally, I'm betting on a Cold War--no combat per se, just a dramatic series of diplomatic incidents, arms races, espionage moves-and-countermoves, struggles to maintain the peace--the works.
Section 31 will almost certainly have something to say about that kind of thing....

Well, to be fair, the Breen, Tzenkethi, Kinshaya, and Gorn have only ever been presented as military foes, and never to any real degree as political/diplomatic adversaries. Same holds true for the Tholians up until Vanguard, and you can never really trust the Romulans. One shouldn't make assumptions, but it's not hard to see why those assumptions are being made.
Plus you have the Destiny/TNG relaunch track record to go with it. Where it seems combat happened in every book (haven't read Losing the Peace yet).
There's no starship fighting in that, I can tell you.
Well, if there's no war, I hope we see some Section 31. They have been in hiding since a bit before Destiny.
i'd rather see SI than 31.
Splinter of the Mind's Eye is a guilty pleasure for me. Of course, I was about ten years old when I read it (at least two or three times), and I am deliberately not re-reading it as an adult. But I do remember it fondly.
Yeah--since Time to Heal, I believe.
BTW--it's a pity your namesake died. I'm sorry, but Sloan was just COOL! His replacement in Abyss (Cole), is just creepy.
and of course:
Cole apparently took part in prompting the Jem'Hadar to attack the New Bejing colony, just so he could recruit Dr. Locken to the Bureau. This was just uncalled for--even for Section 31. Sloan would NEVER take part in a massacre of FEDERATION citizens....
There were S31 agents involved in the Zife 'coup' in "A Time for War, A Time for Peace", the end book of that whole series. None of them seemed on par with Sloan.
Not that being on par with Sloan is much of an accomplishment...
^ The S31 agents from A Time To Tolstoy, you mean? They were never in any danger, and are still out there unless something's happened to them since.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

^We haven't heard squat from the Kirk Cabal lately either, come to think of it....
Yeah. And cool, hopefully they'll pop back up then.
