TOS: The Red Ensign by DRGIII - January 2013

[DarkHorizon]

New listing for an Original Series novel, written by David R. George III, at Simon & Schuster:

http://books.simonandschuster.com/S...e-Red-Ensign/David-R-George-III/9781476700229

As the "February" release (out end of January), this should therefore be the first release on the 2013 publishing schedule.

Not sure about this - the last three DRGIII novels have been rather disappointing IMO, and certainly not up to his best. I shall see how the Typhon Pact duology holds up before deciding whether to pre-order.

An intriguing title at least.

 

[Christopher]

It's the epic tale of an accident involving Chekov and the ketchup dispenser in the mess hall...

 

[Sho]

Well, this is Star Trek, so a malfunctioning ketchup dispenser could undoubtedly butterfly into a quadrant-spanning emergency ... always trouble with high-stakes technology like that.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I guess that puts an end to the "S&S lost the licence and won't be doing 2013's books" rumour that there was a thread about on here a month or so back.

 

[Elias Vaughn]

Title character's gonna die. Calling it now.

 

[Christopher]

Of course, I'm sure it's "The Red Ensign" in this sense:

[Reanok]

I'm glad that there's going to be anaother TOS novel by DRG.Interesting title.

 

[Mage]

DRGIII.... nuff said. I'm onboard.

 

[JD]

Very interesting. Unlike some people I've liked pretty much all of his stuff that I read (including Rough Beasts...), so I'll be looking forward to this.

DRG III could produce a novel like that and make it epic.

 

[Thrawn]

I'm totally a DRG3 fan. I'm happy he's got another one coming. TOS isn't my favorite, but I'll read.

DRG III could produce a novel like that and make it epic.

It'd also run 600+ pages. Not that I'd mind.

 

[Sho]

Or how about an epic mini-series set in the Heinz Expanse, showing an eclectic group of characters trying to solve the mystery of the meta-recipe?

With a few saucy scenes?

 

[Yevetha]

I hope it's about a minor character.

 

[Patrick O'Brien]

I take it there is no book description as of yet?

 

[Yevetha]

As far as i know.

I'm sure the pun inherent in the title is intentional. It's probably not about redshirt security guards, that's just a hook to lure in the reader (how many people even know that the word 'ensign' can also refer to a flag?). And it seems to be working.

Outside of America, quite a few. However, Trek is an American series so the majority of it's fans probably don't.
