The New Editors of the Star Trek Book Series

[F. King Daniel]

That's a story he only ever told once, and it's the real reason the captain of the Titanic in The Captain's Table is catatonic.

Is it true David Mack is working on a Trek trilogy for next year? Will it be Next Gen, DS9, Voyager or Enterprise?

Is IDW going to create a comic where the 60's Enterprise crew meets the J.J. Abrams Universe crew?

Yes, I am writing it now. It will be a TNG-focused trilogy. Unfortunately, until I am given permission by the powers that be at Pocket, I can't reveal anything more. As soon as I am able to reveal titles and vague story descriptions, I will.

Sorry to dredge this shit up again, but my only problem with the editors --and it's a big one, dating from two years ago when a different editor was in charge anyway-- is that there are still no nuTrek novels and probably won't be until Bad Robot are through with the franchise. Other than that, they're doing a great job.

I do get a buzz when the icy Delta Vega's mentioned in Paths of Disharmony, or Geordi orders a Cardassian Sunrise in Indistingushable From Magic, or something that sounds just like Red Matter pops up briefly in Watching the Clock. Those were cool little references, and much appreciated by this nuTrek nut.

Also in Indistinguishable from Magic, Scotty's unfortunate "blond" period...heh.

Huh, that's fits Simon Pegg perfectly. But when I read it, I thought it was a nod at the old Gold Key comics, which frequently drew Scotty as a blonde in a green shirt.

Goodness, did Dave actually do that? I dared him to, but I haven't got to Indistinguishable from Magic yet.

If this is the real David Mack I wanted to let you know I read Rise Like Lions in one and half days! It was terrific. I hope there is a sequel. I can't wait to see your Next Generation series if and when it get's OK from the powers that be.



Hope you and your family and everyone else on this board has a happy holiday season!

 

[David Mack]

^ Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

I think the mini-series (trilogy?) itself has gotten the OK, he just hasn't gotten the OK to talk about it yet.

That's exactly what it is!

Well, you said you were too scared to do it, so yes I did!

I’ve been reading Michael Martin’s, ”The Romulan War”. It refers to the final confrontation between Starfleet and the Romulan Empire. I really enjoy the dialogue between the characters. Archer and T’Pol are written very true to the characters as they were portrayed in the TV show. After waiting so long for the sequel, I was glad to see the story has concluded with this volume. When I think of how good the “Raptor’s Wing” was; the follow up is just as intense. Martin did his research with the show. I only wish this could have been an episode arc of the show! I just started the novel but I’m really looking forward to how the war was resolved. It’s been picking up steam quickly and I look forward to reading the rest of the book.
