Mission's End #4 preview

Colorist John Hunt has posted a couple of pages he has worked on from Mission's End #4 in his deviantART gallery, here's one page:You can see another panel, here.

Losing the Peace extract

The Pocket Books website has been updated with an excerpt, chapter one, from the forthcoming TNG novel Losing the Peace. You can read it, here.

And according to the Star Trek Magazine's editor Paul Simpson, a different extract will be published in the soon to be released next issue of the magazine.

Blurb:

Fortune has smiled on Lieutenant Jasminder Choudhury, chief of security on the U.S.S Enterprise.™ She has survived. But her homeworld, Deneva, one of the planets targeted in the massive Borg invasion, has not. The entire surface has been wiped clean of everything, killing anyone who did not evacuate and rendering the planet uninhabitable. Choudhury is left to wonder whether her family was one of the displaced. Or are they all gone forever?

The Enterprise is just one ship, and Jasminder Choudhury is just one officer, yet her story is being repeated over and over across the galaxy. Hundreds of thousands of displaced persons haunt the space ways, seeking comfort, looking for someplace safe, somewhere, anywhere to find solace. Captain Jean-Luc Picard is ordered to do everything he can to rescue and if need be to recover the lost souls from the Borg invasion.

For the first time in generations, citizens of the Federation know want, uncertainty, and fear. Bloodied yet unbowed, the Federation now stands on the edge of a precipice. The captain of the Enterprise finds himself in the unenviable position of wondering whether it is true that those who can win a war well can rarely make a good peace.

Spock really does a lot of Reflecting!

MTV's Splash Page site has a preview for Spock: Reflections, showing us a new page of Spock and Captain Harriman:

You might want to skip the actual article though, they seem to be getting confused about Spock growing up on Romulus, and attempting to stir controversy by suggesting the TOS movie era stuff is from the new movie continuity...

Another Sharp cover

On his blog, Chris Ryall has released a new Sharp Brothers' cover, apparently for a forthcoming Spock omnibus book. Looks like this:
UPDATE: And here it is as a finished cover:

Novel news

Updates to the Pocket Books website have given some little bits of news from the Star Trek novel line. The mystery TOS book coming early next year has finally been revealed to be Inception, by S.D. Perry. Amazon have a brief description up for it: "There is always one person who touches our life that they transform it forever. For two women those men are James Kirk and Spock", and on the Trek BBS Keith R.A. DeCandido commented that he suspected this might be "the Carol Marcus meets Leila Kalomi novel that Danelle's been talking about for a while......"

The Pocket Books site has also updated its listing for the Enterprise Romulan War book with a new title: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing. Start of a series maybe?
