Twentieth Anniversary DS9 Book by DRG III

Someone would have to pitch it. PAD has seemingly not yet been invited to pitch a new/next NF instalment - hence the stalemate.
I left out Enterprise and New Frontier because they both seem to be stuck in limbo right now. I'd have to think about an author or authors I'd like to see tackle Enterprise's ongoing story.
I really liked Dave Stern's Enterprise novels and I'd like to see another one by him.
I wouldn't hold my breath for more Enterprise - in Germany, Cult Cross had to discontinue their translations because sales were SO bad they endangered the entire Trek line. In the United States, the planned Romulan War trilogy was hastily cut down to a duology after the first installment was published.
I think the future of ENT lies in flashbacks and crossovers, like Destiny and Indistinguishable From Magic (which was more about Next Gen's Rassmussen character, the Intrepid was just an excuse to involve him in the story and since he's from the era, we got a glimpse at 22nd century Earth and Starfleet's post-war actions)

Excellent news! I doubt that it will be set during the "Four Lost Years", given how much was set up for DS9 in Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn.
Not sure anyone is expecting the whole thing to be set there, but if Kira is going to appear, those missing years are an important part of her backstory.
Flashbacks! Flashbacks! Flashbacks!
Well I'd like to see Christie Golden come back into the Voyager fold. Maybe she could write some books that would fill in some more of the missing time from "Spirit Walk Book 2" to "Full Circle/Unworthy".
But, as far as Enterprise is concerned, I think it's dead at this point. The Romulan War duology kind of shut the door on anything past that. But if any more books come out, hopefully they are set somewhere in Seasons 1, 2 and 4 (we saw how well a book set in the 3rd season worked, which wasn't too well).
But with DRGIII's new DS9 book, considering that he's just getting the contractual details worked out now, hopefully he has enough time to write a good story; a 20th anniversary story carry's a different type of weight than his other stories.
But it was made pretty clear that not all that much happened during that period. Just some extremely boring survey missions.
When has a survey mission ever been "boring" to the featured crew?
But I also recall that aside from examine Janeway and Chakotay's relationship, not much was said about Voyager's missions.
Didnt Starfleet make a specific effort to keep them tucked away in quiet corner during that period? Or am I misremembering?
I believe that was Janeway's influence. She was trying to keep them as safe as she was able.
Ditto. You tried once (four times actually). You failed. Now please stay away.
Why?

You haven't seen bad Golden until you've seen her Star Wars work where Han and Leia take their granddaugther to a galactic petting zoo.
I don't even read the Star Wars books because the whole series (including movies) is pathetic.
But I really enjoyed Golden's books, from "The Murdered Sun" right up to "Enemy of my Enemy".
