Dieses Wochenende ist wieder Shore Leave Convention in Baltimore und wie jedes Jahr geben sich die Stars der ST-Literatur-Szene ein Stelldichein, um unter anderem einen Ausblick auf das kommende Jahr zu geben. Hier eine Zusammenfassung:
Quelle: VOYAGES OF IMAGINATION
Neue Mirror Universe-Geschichten, ich sollte wohl endlich mal die diesjährigen Mirror-Universe-Anthos lesen...
Nach endlosen Verzögerungen kommt endlich Forged in Fire, ein neues Buch um Captain Sulu
Freuen tue ich mich vor allem auf Myriad Universes (Ehemals als Other Times angekündigt) und die Terok Nor Trilogie.
Und natürlich die neuen Bände von Bennett (Gönnt sich Gott sei dank keine Pause von Trek wie angedroht) und Mack (Wow, eine eigene Trilogie vom Butcher.. )....
Gespannt bin ich ja mal auf die Geschichte hinter Fearful Symetrie (Ein Jahr Verzögerung, neuer Autor)
Was garantiert bei Gelegenheit noch angekündigt wird, sind die Fortsetzungen von SCE/CoE (Sowohl Trade als auch Ebook) und ein neuer Shatner im Herbst würde mich auch nicht wirklich überraschen. Was auch fehlt ist der neue New Frontier-Band für den Herbst, aber wie der Header schon sagt, die Liste sit nicht komplett.
Fazit: Für TOS-Fans etwas mager, aber ich bin trotzdem schwer begeistert, das wird ein richtig gutes Jahr.
For everyone who wasn't able to go to Shore Leave this year, including myself, here are the titles that Marco Palmieri revealed:
STAR TREK 2008 tentative schedule.
This list is not complete and subject to change.
JANUARY, 2008
- STAR TREK EXCELSIOR: FORGED IN FIRE by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels (mass)
BACK COVER COPY: A vicious pirate known as the Albino is cutting a deadly swath across space, creating turmoil in the Klingon Empire that threatens to spill into the Federation. But this criminal also has a secret that could shake the halls of Imperial power, and his genocidal plans against the race that bore him will have consequences even he cannot imagine, as several unlikely allies join swords to bring the Albino to justice: Hikaru Sulu of the U.S.S. Excelsior; Klingon captains Kor, Koloth, and Kang; and a hotheaded young Federation diplomat named Curzon Dax. Tempered in the flames of their shared adversity, a captaincy is forged, a Blood Oath is sworn . . . and a hunt begins that will stretch from one generation to the next.

Cunning, ruthless, driven by an instinct for violence and defined by a complex code of honor, they must push ever outward in order to survive, defying the icy ravages of space with the fire of their hearts. They are the Klingons, and if you think you already know all there is to learn about them . . . think again.
From its highest echelons of power to the shocking depths of lowest castes; from its savagely aggressive military to its humble farmers, from political machinations of galactic import to personal demons and family strife, the Klingon Empire is revealed as never before when the captain and crew of the I.K.S.
