Another Cross Cult New Frontier character image

Those busy people at Cross Cult have released yet another New Frontier character illustration. This time Burgoyne 172:

More Infinite Space

GameForge has launched a website for its forthcoming browser game Star Trek: Infinite Space. There's not much there yet, but the information section reveals the game will feature two factions, either Federation and Klingon; and the game's story will be written by Lee Sheldon, a game designer, author and producer, who's credits including producing several TNG episodes and writing the episode Remember Me.

You can also sign up to test the game, starting this year, prior to release next summer.

The site also has a couple of new concept art images:

 

Haynes Manual preview, and something new in the works?

StarTrek.com have posted an interview with the Haynes Enterprise Manual's author Ben Robinson. The interview highlights how Robinson hopes the book will be a little more accessible than previous similar books which have been a bit, intense. It also discusses how he worked with co-author Marcus Riley, and Michael Okuda; Robinson wrote most of the chapters, with Riley taking on the Enterprise-D, and then both authors working on revisions after Okuda's consultation.

The NX-01 sections sound very promising:

I have to say that the single most satisfying chapter was the NX-01, and a lot of the credit for that should go to Doug Drexler, who designed it. Doug was amazingly generous with his time and pulled out sketches and diagrams from his files that revealed all sorts of things he'd put into the ship that never made it on to screen. That ship's incredibly well thought-out and there's masses of fantastic detail that we were able to include in the book.

My highlight of the interview though is this tease at something else on the way:

I still have a full-time job working for the company who produced the Fact Files. We do a lot of 007 and Doctor Who publishing and we've got some top-secret Trek stuff in the pipeline that I think will make a lot of people very happy.

There's also a new preview page:

The book is out just about now. (Amazon.co.uk tells me mine is "Dispatching Soon", can't wait!)

Infinite Space trailer

GameForge has released a trailer for their DS9 based game, coming next year:

German New Frontier cover

Cross Cult has released their first proper New Frontier cover art on their facebook page; for the second of their New Frontier books (which I believe will in fact contain the third and fourth books as published in English). The sword on the left will apparently be a recurring feature on Cross Cults New Frontier covers, somewhat like the vertically orientated TITAN, on Titan books.

They have also released a couple more of their individual characters art works:

UPDATE: One more:
