Finally, I'm now on MYSPACE. Come be a friend at My Space
 
Great cover and info! Thank you, Jeff.

One question: I don't remember Ben Sisko playing a role in the first two Mission: Gamma books. Is he on the cover just to spur sales, or is there some other connection I'm overlooking or forgetting?

The connection is that everyone on that cover is gone from the world. Sisko, Winn, Ziyal, Jadzia, Dukat, Thriss, and Prynn's mother (I think that's the last person). Absolutely gorgeous cover.

Can the authors of the Myriad Universes stories tell us what their story will be about?
 
Ahh, okay, so my Myriad Universes contribution will be in the July installment. If it had been August, I would've had two books coming out in the same month. Anyway, I'll have a lot to talk about at Shore Leave next year....

As for telling what it's about, I don't know if I can do that yet.
 
It's too soon for me to talk about my MU contribution, but you can rest assured that it'll probably suck.

Uh, be great! I meant it'll be great! Honest!


;)
 
Good call, EMH! I admit that I didn't look at who the other characters were before I asked my question.

Poo, I figured that was the case (that you couldn't talk, not that your book would suck, which it won't!), but I had to try. :p

I admit I was a bit confused at first, too, but then I began noticing the other people in the cover and then it all made sense.

Yeah, I'm gonna plump for that being Ruriko. Also, isn't that Talas from ENT that they're using for an image of Thriss? And while it may be a nice theme for the pics, and a gorgeous cover, few of the characters there have much of an impact on the stories included, to my mind.

And I still find it difficult to believe that there wasn't room to fit all four books in at once, so that it could just be called Mission Gamma. I mean, I know Twilight was immense, and This Gray Spirit not much smaller, but Cathedral was normal length and Lesser Evil was shorter than usual, so I would have thought it balanced out. And Twist of Faith managed four novels plus a short story. Is Twilight really that huge?

These aren't mirror universe stories, are they?

No, these are "What if...?" stories, showing alternate histories seperate from the Mirror U.

I think it's cool whenever we get to see an image of a previously unseen character. In fact, the only thing keeping me from adding the images to Memory Beta, is some sort of official confirmation. It's a shame Marco doesn't frequent these parts anymore...

I think MU was supposed to be Myriad Universes. It took me a second too, then I realized that Myriad also started with a M.
