    You've written many novels. Tell me, does that sound like a good idea? A World War III Trek novel (or series)?

    I might be the wrong person to ask, since I'm not fond of war stories in general. I think there have been more than enough war stories told already in the Trekverse. I wish the Dominion War had ended at least a season earlier than it did. ST is supposed to be about exploration and discovery, not death and destruction.

    But I do feel that the period after WWIII, the era between FC and ENT, is certainly worth exploring.

    We'll never see a crossover between Star Trek and Cerebus the Aardvark.

    But if anyone could pull it off... it'd be Peter David. :angel:

    Although the idea of Dave Sim writing Star Trek is an intriguing idea.

    Scary, but intriguing.

    The idea of James T. Kirk as a born again Christian recovering alcoholic who hates women and can't shut up about any of the above doesn't really intrigue me. I kept buying Cerebus out of inertia after Sim lost it but I still haven't read the last 25 or 30 issues.

    You can always buy the Kingdom Of Hades five-issue mini and read about the similarly-named Cerberus instead...
