That is a really interesting cover. Glad to be exploring Vulcans in-depth again!

As much as I hate to interrupt this engaging debate on e-books vs. print, StarTrek.com has just posted the cover for Uncertain Logic, the next Rise of the Federation book. Here.

Great cover and a very interesting write-up. Sounds like Christopher has another winner on his hands

 

[Thrawn]

Good looking covers lately; that's solid too.

Description also sounds interesting. Cool.

 

[Reanok]

Great cover art it's long overdue to have a book explore the Vulcans in depth in the Enterprise. era. I've been wanting a story seeing T'Pol returning to Vulcan after the Romulan wars ended.

 

[DaveGalanter]

Nothing much to say here.

Yuck.

 

[DS9forever]

Not impressed with that cover at all; it looks like a Shatnerverse novel cover.

You're right!

Pretty good lineup. I still haven't gotten into the TOS novels, but I did read Troublesome Minds when it came out and I did really enjoy it.

I agree. I like that the Rise of the Federation covers haven't been uniform, offering some variety.

Nothing much to say here.

Pay no mind to the Nasat, Mr. Galanter. I know many of us here are looking forward to a new Trek novel by you.

Troublesome Minds was a great stand-alone story and it's always my first recommendation whenever anyone asks for suggestions on good TOS books to read.

Any details you can offer on this new novel?

Actually, I agree. It was rather good; my comment was due to the fact that TOS stand-alones are the only "optionals" rather than "must-haves" on my list, and having already made that point in the post, I was left with...well, nothing to say.

I was just being silly. It wasn't a genuine sniffle. :-)

Thanks for the kind words on Troublesome Minds. Crisis of Consciousness, I hope, will be as compelling. It's another highly Spock-centric novel, I think, as I have been trying to pick apart what motivates certain actions Spock ends up taking.

I hope you enjoy it, should you give it a try. :-)

Mr. Galanter I really like your novel troublesome minds. I'm so glad you're going to do another novel that features Spock and what motivates his decisions in your upcoming novel.

If the NF novellas really are one novel split into three... why couldn't they just release it as one novel?

As I said, there are only a dozen slots per year for mass-market paperback novels. Maybe those slots were already filled. The e-novellas provide an outlet for additional Trek fiction, and that seems like a good thing to me.

My apologies, I wasn't entirely clear. I actually meant, rather than splitting it up, why couldn't they release it as a single eBook exclusive novel? That is, one EPUB file (or whatever your format of choice) at a higher price point, rather than three EPUBs at a lower price point each. It's the same content, in the same eBook only format, just novel-length.

Of course, I'm assuming here that since it is still eBook exclusive, that it wouldn't take one of the twelve MMPB slots. Or are you saying that novel-length releases have to take one of those twelve slots, whether or not they are released in hardcopy?

I agree that the e-novellas are great, but since this one seems to have been originally intended to a single novel-length story, why not just release it like that? I'll still get it either way; I was just curious as to the reasons behind splitting it.

I've noticed that pretty much all of the series I follow that do e-exclusives (Trek, Star Wars, Kate Daniels, The Mortal Instruments, and The Iron Druid Chronicles) the e-books are always either novellas or short stories. It just seems to be the way most publishers do things. I think they just use the e-exclusives for side stories, and save all of the big novel length stories for the paperbacks.

Very well said and I agree 100%.

Thanks. You might want to read Troublesome Minds first. While not really a continuation of that story, they dovetail in some ways.

I am chiefly an e-book person now. I have an older Kindle that I use frequently, but I've been reading even more often on my phone now, which isn't as hard as I thought. In particular, I prefer to read novels as e-books; I can devour them more quickly that way and carry more around with me. (And, in some cases, buy the next one in the series immediately - instant gratification, except for my wallet!)

I'm looking forward to Crisis of Consciousness in particular, because I really enjoyed Troublesome Minds, so maybe that balances out Nasat's "meh" reaction.

Also, it's a damn good story! I really enjoyed that novel: My review
