The summer is finally over and autumn is on its way in. And with it comes a ton of new Star Trek books in more or less every series. Even though Simon & Schuster's new website makes it really hard to find new books, I managed to find one before the new Enterprise finds its way into my hands next week: The Never-Ending Sacrifice by Una McCormack.

Star Trek: DS9 - The Soul Key
Once again Amazon.de outdid themselves and delivered a book that shouldn't have been out for at least 2 weeks, but I don't complain ;-) At least now I had another Star Trek book to get into and it's even a DS9 book. Fearful Symmetry, the second book (or first depending on how you count them) in the current mini-series/crossover between the Mirror Universe-timeline and the DS9-relaunch didn't impress me all that much, but I was still kind of looking forward to a continuation of that story. So here it finally is.

Star Trek: Titan - Orion's Hounds
Just one thing before I start writing about the 3rd entry in the Titan series: I will probably start writing about every single book I buy this year and if it's just for one single reason: When I made the topic about my Star Trek book of 2005 I had a big problem: I had actually now clue, what books I've read last year so I just picked the ones where I was quite sure that I'd got them in 2005. This time things should become easier with a post for each and every book I care to write about (I somehow doubt that any other book will become my book of 2006 ;)).

Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul II - Exiles
Read more about "Star Trek: Vulcan's Soul II - Exiles" ...
The second book of the "Vulcan's Soul" trilogy is once again a book for those of you out there, who might want to get to know the Vulcan people a little bit better. Or especially their history, for that matter. Luckily it's now also available as paperback, so you can save some money compared to the horrendously expensive hard-cover version :D

Star Trek TNG: Death in Winter
Next book in my travel to Star Trek literature and again a TNG book. Death in Winter is set right after the end of Nemesis or even I guess after Trust yourself when all men doubt you, the last story in the TNG anniversary anthology The Sky's the Limit with Captain Picard trying to deal with his close friend and secret love (secret for whom isn't really the question here, I guess) transferring over to SF Medical.

Gears of War Prequel as Book
Just read on Joystiq about Gears of War getting a prequel book ... I'm really not sure if I should be excited about it or not. The story of the game was quite interesting for me and the end was definitely tailored in a way to make the game open to novells and stuff. Nothing heard about it yet but if this book is mostly about the background of Marcus Fenix and also about why he supposedly became a "traitor", I'm not really interested. And given that the title of the book is supposed to be "The Pendulum Wars" it's quite a fair guess :-(
Over several decades, the Pendulum Wars took place between various human countries, and ended with the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) taking control of the planet. The war quickly came to an end on "Emergence Day", when a ravenous force known as the Locust Horde bursts from underneath major human cities using a network of underground tunnels.
So I guess nothing new about the Locust in there, something that would have been (at least for me) way more interesting.

Star Trek TNG: Q & A
Read more about "Star Trek TNG: Q & A" ...
One of the longest story-lines in the Star Trek universe is definitely
the one about those almighty beings called the Q. They, together with their
most well known representative Q (portraid by John de Lancie), had their first
appearance right in the first episode of the second Star Trek show: Star Trek:
The Next Generation and since then appeared in not only a couple of other
TNG-episodes (including the last one) but also in DS9 and Voyager. With Q & A Keith R.A. DeCandido extends the world surrounding the Q Continuum
with another story that brings Q again down onto Captain Picard and the crew
of the Enterprise to finally explain some things.

Star Trek: Mirror Universe - Glass Empires
Read more about "Star Trek: Mirror Universe - Glass Empires " ...
If you remember how the TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror" ended it had introduced a whole new universe to the world of Star Trek: The mirror universe, where everyone was more or less the evil counterpart of the universe Star Trek fans were used to. When 30 years later the Deep Space Nine episode Crossover) continued the plot, it just gave small hints of what happened in between and between the Enterprise double-episode In a Mirror, Darkly and "Mirror, Mirror". And this is exactly where the two "Mirror Universe" books, Glass Empires [OL] and Obsidian Alliances come in.

Enterprise: Kobayashi Maru

The adventures of the crew of the NX-01 continue with Kobayahi Maru) as the first novell set after the final episode of the TV-show. Andy Mangels and Michael A. Martin tell the story of Archer trying to proof for Romulan attacks on Coalition Freighters, Trip still playing spy-games and T'Pol and Reed going totally nuts. But is it worth all the madness?

Star Trek: TNG: The Sky's the Limit
So Star Trek: The Next Generation is now 20 years old (which probably makes it just a little bit last generation ...) and CBS and Simon & Schuster take this anniversary as an opportunity for releasing a couple of TNG-related books. The first one I got is Star Trek: TNG: The Sky's the Limit
