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
Right on the last day of EuroDjangoCon 09 a small group of brave Djangonauts ordered a couple of tickets and went to downtown Prague to find strange new cinemas and watch the new Star Trek movie by J. J. Adams. At first I wasn't really sure what to expect from that movie, but it turned out to be a complete suprise :D

Star Trek: Titan - Over a Torrent Sea
It's been quite a while since the last book out of the Titan series has been released and I've been really looking forward to the next installment -- especially after the fairly big role the crew of the Luna-class vessel had during the resolution of the latest Borg crisis. Now, nearly one and a half year after Sword of Damocles Titan has finally continued its mission of exploration with Christopher L. Bennett's Over a Torrent Sea.

First real Star Trek XI-trailer
Seems like the first real trailer for Star Trek XI is out. Gizmodo has a link to a bootlegged version that seems to have been shown in the pre-program of the latest 007 movie. And honestly? This is the first trailer (or anything in general) that makes me want to watch this movie. I'm still not sure, how much confusion this will cause in the timeline, but at least it seems to be quite action-focused. Judging from the trailer, though, it will be quite hard to sell this as a real Star Trek movie.

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: Deep Space Nine - Fearful Symmetry
Read more about "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Fearful Symmetry" ...
I will try not to spend too much time on this book here since I'm rather
pissed right now. When "Warpath",
which was released in March 2006, ended it
was quite clear in what direction the next book would go: the mirror universe
and the whole story behind Iliana Ghemor.
This book does at least the later,
but leaves the first one open to the next books ... and that's my problem with
"Fearful Symmetry" by
Olivia Woods. The book doesn't really progress the story. It answers basically
all questions you could have had about Illiah, but the actual timeline
progression is veeery minimal. I guess I couldn't even spoil anything here
even if I tried.

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.

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 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.
