Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek: Discovery: Somewhere To Belong” Author Dayton Ward

 

While Star Trek Discovery will soon be going into its fifth and final season, the adventures of Captain Burnham and her crew in the 32nd century are far from over. Assuming, of course, you like to read. Which brings me to Star Trek: Discovery: Somewhere To Belong (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), the latest Star Trek novel by Dayton Ward.

In the following email interview, Ward discusses what inspired and influenced this sci-fi space opera novel, as well as how it fits in with the show and his previous Discovery novel, Drastic Measures.

“Star Trek: Discovery: Season Two” Blu-ray, DVD Review

 

As some people who’ve purchased video games and eBooks have discovered the hard way, digital is not necessarily forever. Or available if your Internet goes out (which is sadly more of a problem than you might expect). Which is why I applaud the good people at Paramount Home Video and CBS Home Entertainment who’ve seen fit to release seasonal sets for the premiere show of CBS Access, Star Trek: Discovery, the latest of which, Star Trek: Discovery: Season Two, is now out on Blu-ray and DVD.

Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek: Discovery: The Way To The Stars” Author Una McCormack

 

For years, writers have expanded upon the Star Trek universe with non-canonical adventures in novel form. But in Star Trek: Discovery: The Way To The Stars (paperback, Kindle), veteran Star Trek author Una McCormack takes a somewhat different approach than what she and others have done in the Trek-verse by writing a prequel about Discovery crew member Sylvia Tilly before she became the cadet we know from the show.

“Star Trek: Discovery: Season One” Blu-ray, DVD Review

 

In theory, one of the upsides of a TV streaming service is that your favorite shows are always available. In practice, however, that hasn’t always been the case. For that, you still need a physical release, something a lot of shows made for streaming services don’t get. But fans of Star Trek: Discovery are in luck as Paramount and CBS Home Entertainment have released Star Trek: Discovery: Season One (Blu-ray, DVD), which not only includes all fifteen episodes, but the kind of extras that fans of this sci-fi space opera will appreciate.

Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek: Discovery: Drastic Measures” Author Dayton Ward

 

With the inaugural season completed, and the second not set to air until the fall, fans of Star Trek Discovery might be wondering what to do with all their free time. Good thing the adventure is actually continuing (well, in a non-canonical way, of course), with the new prequel novel Star Trek Discovery Drastic Measures (paperback, Kindle) by veteran Trek novelist — and confessed Rush fan — Dayton Ward.

Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek Discovery Desperate” Hours Author David Mack

 

To coincide with the launch of a new Star Trek series, Star Trek Discovery, the good people at Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster who oversee the literary adventures of Kirk, Picard, and the rest have commissioned longtime Star Trek novelist David Mack to pen the non-canonical prequel novel Star Trek Discovery Desperate Hours (paperback, digital). But while Mack has written a number of Star Trek novels over the years — including 2004’s Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Time To Kill, 2012’s Star Trek: Vanguard: Storming Heaven, and the upcoming Star Trek: Titan: Fortune Of War — as he admitted in the following email interview, writing a book based on a show that’s still on the air made this experience rather unique.
