Data remarks in the comic that his neural nets were successfully imprinted onto B-4's existing programming. That still happens in the books. But of course wonderfully expanded with the introduction of a new body, allowing B-4 to continue his own path.<br /><br />It's impossible to ignore both his return and Picard's impending retirement in the books. And as we've only seen a very small glimpse of the pre-Abrams universe, dealing with it and Hobus in the novels is a relatively simple affair (Okay, Worf is harder but hey, if you can get a whole book out of it, it's not a bad thing).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977394103770432986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-91665858245418298592014-01-27T22:21:19.551+00:002014-01-27T22:21:19.551+00:00Oooh I hope they do more audiobooks - hopefully th...Oooh I hope they do more audiobooks - hopefully they'll do Titan and Destiny etc in English - German speakers have already had some.MDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985877253522735969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-24757584933970529832014-01-27T21:41:00.382+00:002014-01-27T21:41:00.382+00:00With rare exceptions I have really enjoyed the Sta...With rare exceptions I have really enjoyed the Star Trek novels since The Entropy Effect back in 1983. The Fall series of novels have been fantastic. I hated the premature termination of Enterprise so the novels have filled in that gap getting us to the Romulan War and the Rise of the Federation. I would love to have a book a month for each iteration of Star Trek but I will try to be thankful that S&S gives us one Trek book a month with some eBooks thrown in as a bonus. Great work by Margaret clark & the many talented authors who keep Star Trek alive for the fans.

I'm looking forward to both your Titan and Aventine adventures immensely!<br /><br />Unknown, I don't see any elephants. The novels have already contradicted the "canon" comic, in how the resurrected Data. I'm sure when they catch up to the prime-timeline events from the nuTrek films they will be dealt with, they'd be crazy not to capitalise on what's available to play with there. But it seems clear they've already decided to do something different to the comics, much as Star Trek Online has followed its own path distinct from the novels.8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-71911591224012602272014-01-27T20:50:17.062+00:002014-01-27T20:50:17.062+00:00Great podcast -- and thanks for the plug on the ne...Great podcast -- and thanks for the plug on the new book! <br /><br />Made a quick post on the topic: http://blog.farawaypress.com/2014/01/more-on-star-trek-titan-absent-enemies.htmlJohn Jackson Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450012837939955658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-75365438864268955802014-01-27T19:46:02.674+00:002014-01-27T19:46:02.674+00:00I guess I'll be the one that addresses the ele...I guess I'll be the one that addresses the elephant in the room. Is the reason Data is going to be kept quiet related to the Abrams timeline? According to the canon comic prequel, Data is in command of the Enterprise by 2387. We're getting very close to that point, books-wise. Obviously the stories will continue but how are authors going to deal with this I wonder. Ignore it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977394103770432986noreply@blogger.com
