When is the next announcement of new novels?

Dayton just announced his (and Kevin's) next novel on Twitter.

Dayton just announced his (and Kevin's) next novel on Facebook and Twitter.

Getting errors on both of those links...

 

[Defcon]

Facebook seems to be friend restricted (oopps), but Twitter is openly readable (if you have a Twitter account), so I'll leave the link to that in the earlier post.

Nice. 2012 is shaping up to be a good year so far. If we can get stuff from KRAD, Christopher L. Bennett, Kirsten Beyer, William Leisner, and James Swallow then pretty much all of my top writers will have stuff coming out next year.

how about actually quoting the tweet for those of us neanderthals who don't use twitter and don't want to sign up to read one tweet?

A new Trek Tos novel project By Greg Cox Yahoo!!! I've been hoping he'd write more ToS novels.

Given that with mention of Dayton's book we're now up to 8 slots filled, leaving only 4 slots, and you name 5 writers, you're going to have play musical chairs with your preferences...

Or for whom it is blocked at work?

Assuming all the contracts thus far announced are for 2012 releases, that is. Multi-book contracts are often spread out over a less ulcer-inducing span of time.

They could always double up on a book

After realizing that his Facebook is friend restricted I wanted to play it safe and check with Dayton if it's O.K. to talk about it here.

The next Trek novel @kevindilmore and I will be writing is a TOS/5-year mission story. Kirk-Fu FTW!

Another story to cram in there with the other 5000 missions.

Another story to cram in there with the other 5000 missions.

Federation science has conducted extensive studies of the plot-dilation effect.

It's a well-known scientific phenomenon, often associated with starships called Enterprise.

As long as they keep writing TOS novels... I'll keep buying 'em. And, evidently, so will other people.

 

[F. King Daniel]

And those 5000 missions all happened, dammit!

If we assume that the average mission takes place over two weeks, then there are 26 missions for a year and 130 over the 5YM, not counting time travel, groundhog day causality loops, spatial phenomena and shorter missions. The TV series covered three years of the 5YM and most of the TOS books have covered missions within that time frame, before that time frame or after it, leaving the majority of 2 YEARS to be filled.

 

[captcalhoun]

until you take into account novels where the Enterprise was on a boring weeks-long mapping mission with nothing going on...until suddenly...

 

[Christopher]

And "The Paradise Syndrome" alone covered 2 months. Not to mention the travel time for episodes that take place at the edge of the galaxy or the like.

I did say average, for heaven's sake.

Isn't there now some kind of discussion about whether it really was the galaxy's edge?

 

[F. King Daniel]

Of course it was. And it wad the centre of the galaxy in "Megas Tu", even though Kirk doesn't remember it in STV.

I'm an all-inclusive Trekkie
