It's i...All books are non-canon from the off... It's in inherent risk of doing tie-in in fiction that they might one day be contradicted. But as the TrekMovie articles points out Clark is taking the editorial position that the general status quo must remain intact by the end of each of the JJ-verse novels, which reduces the likelihood they will be contradicted.<br /><br />I too would have preferred a more even balance to the output. But we can also look it this way; in 2009 we've had two Titan books, two Vanguard books, two DS9 books and two Voyager books. So lets say we're aiming for about one book from each series a year (TOS, nuTOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, NF, Titan and Vanguard alone are nine series, which leaves three slots for a second book for one or two series, a crossover sort of thing, or SCE, Gorkon etc), at that average we've had more than the fair share of 24th century stuff for the last year or two. Plus the nuTOS will want to establish itself with several novels about the same time, so you can understand the logic of a sudden influx of TOS next year.8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-58503724129930417442009-07-11T16:40:31.700+01:002009-07-11T16:40:31.700+01:00And I fear, this will also happen to Pocket Books....And I fear, this will also happen to Pocket Books.<br /><br />They left GORKON, SCE, VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE completely out.<br /><br />I would have prefered 2 or 4 TOS books less and those series instead.<br /><br />Oh, and what's about those JJverse books? They do not make any sense... the next movie will probably make them all non-canon anyway.Xavier_Stormahttp://www.st-afu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-87036169779815613142009-07-11T15:20:00.050+01:002009-07-11T15:20:00.050+01:00Well you might be exaggerating a bit there, the 24...Well you might be exaggerating a bit there, the 24th century stuff is still making a third of the output.<br /><br />And you can see their logic; TOS is the big thing right now. It’s just unfortunate they seem to have felt it necessary to make it So dominant, and in such big blocks, that seems to amplificate the effect.<br /><br />At least Pocket are still representing all the series, if even at a less than annual rate for some, IDW really is stuck on TOS.8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-15914418907005293042009-07-11T15:05:05.554+01:002009-07-11T15:05:05.554+01:00Yeah... a shame... the 24th century is their hotse...Yeah... a shame... the 24th century is their hotseller, and all they plan for 2010 are four tiny books?<br /><br />I am getting really tired of TOS these days. At least until now, the books have been more in focus of the TNG/DS9/VOY era. But now it seems to switch. I wonder when we will have no more TNG era adventures and will be limited just to TOS, so that we will probably cover every single second of Kirk's and Spock's life.Xavier_Stormahttp://www.st-afu.comnoreply@blogger.com
