That was supposed to be "...your ability to write her."
These all sound very good.
Thank you, Saavik is one of my favorite characters! She's always intrigued me and it will be nice to see how she fits in to Vulcan and Romulan heritage and of course Starfleet. I've always wanted Saavik to find her own way, neither Vulcan nor Romulan dictated but just Saavik, a unique person.
One thing, does she get to keep her academy nickname of the Photon Torpedo? I thought it was cool to have her enjoy baseball.

That they do. I can already see my money flying away.
I'm afraid I didn't give her a chance to play baseball this time around.I'm not exactly thrilled with the image of Unspoken Truth - it doesn't exactly say much about the novel, and in fact, seriously underwhelms me. I think I was expecting something like the cover of Burning Dreams, though I'm not sure which actress I'd think of being there. (I also had an idea of the Vulcan IDIC and the symbol of the Romulan Empire on it, showing both sides of Saavik's heritage, rather than just the picture of a Vulcan cityscape that sorta reminds me of the planet-city of Taris from KOTOR more than anything else...)
The others look very nice - each one gives a bit of a hint as to what's going on in the book. It's just the cover for Unspoken Truth, which is one that I'm really looking forward to. I hope that's purely a placeholder.

For fans of Articles of the Federation, there is another photo on that Drexler blog page CLB linked too of some fun...

Thanks for the nice pic
. I'm pretty sure that pic is from DS9's "Paradise Lost/Homefront". The view in ST VI was different...
The more I look at it, the more I like it, actually. For one thing, a lot of folks have a "favorite" Saavik between the two actresses, and this avoids that particular controversy.
For another, that one building reminds me of the Chrysler Building, my favorite in the New York skyline.
Yeah, I thought that might happen, actually.
The cover also fits with "The Never-Ending Sacrifice"'s planetary scene. Perhaps the beginning of a series of cityscape covers?
Given that Margaret Clark was probably the one responsible for choosing those covers, I doubt we can expect it to be a pattern that carries forward.
Unless the new editors like the idea.
