While the Star Trek novels have always adhered to the canon created by the TV shows and movies, they’re not canonical themselves. But they do, ironically, have their own canon, complete with their own ongoing storylines. In the following email interview about his new Trek tale, Star Trek: The Next Generation: Available Light (paperback, Kindle), science fiction writer Dayton Ward not only discusses the inspirations and influences on his sci-fi space opera story, but also how it serves to connects David Mack’s Star Trek: Section 31: Control and Mack’s upcoming Star Trek story, Star Trek: The Next Generation: Collateral Damage (due out October 8).

Una McCormack Star Trek Discovery The Way To The Stars

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.

No Comments on “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.

David Mack Star Trek Discovery Desperate Hours

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.

Exclusive Interview: “Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise Of The Federation: Patterns Of Interference” Author Christopher L Bennett

When Star Trek: Enterprise went off the air in 2005 after four seasons, fans of the show were understandably disappointed. But as with the other shows, being cancelled didn’t end the adventure for the original Enterprise and her crew. In Star Trek Enterprise Rise Of The Federation Patterns Of Interference (paperback, digital), writer Christopher L Bennett extends their tour of duty once again for the fifth time book in his Rise Of The Federation series, further exploring the formative years of The Federation.

No Comments on Exclusive Interview: The Punch Escrow Author Tal M Klein

A few years ago, in the science section of The New York Times, a physicist explained that the transporters from Star Trek were technically impossible. But while this is an assertion that writer Tal M Klein agrees with, that didn’t stop him from putting a teleportation devices in the center of his new sci-fi novel, The Punch Escrow (paperback, digital). Though as he admitted during the following interview, it was actually someone else’s negative feelings about transporters that led him to write this novel.

David R George III Star Trek Deep Space Nine The Long Mirage

It was recently reported that while Paramount released both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray, the same will never be said of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Which is a real bummer for those of us who feel that, after TOS, Deep Space Nine was the best Star Trek show. But while we may not be getting those classic stories in high-def, we are getting new ones courtesy of such writers as David R George III, whose latest novel, Star Trek Deep Space Nine The Long Mirage (paperback, digital) — in the grand tradition of the show — builds upon some plot points from earlier episodes, I mean novels.

While the most recent Star Trek movies kind of, sort of, but not really rebooted the saga, the Trek novels have continued the timeline of the original series, the other shows, and the previous movies. Which is how we get to Dayton Ward’s Star Trek The Next Generation Headlong Flight (paperback, digital), a new adventure for Captain Picard and crew. Though in talking to Ward about the novel, it turns out we also get there by going through a certain Canadian rock band…

As Game Of Thrones fans will tell you, waiting for the next book in a series can be quite frustrating. But in talking to writer John Jackson Miller, whose trilogy of Star Trek novels are coming just a month apart — Star Trek Prey: Book One: Hell’s Heart (paperback, digital) is out now; Star Trek Prey: Book Two: The Jackal’s Trick (paperback, digital) is out October 25th; and Star Trek Prey: Book Three: The Hall Of Heroes (paperback, digital) will be available November 29th — it seems having these three novel come in rapid succession cut some of the frustration in writing such an epic sci-fi saga as well.
