Shore Leave 36 takes place next weekend, August 1-3, and although pre-registration is closed, tickets still remain for the event and can be purchased at the door.
Trek guest stars this year include Star Trek: Voyager‘s Robert Picardo and Michael Welch (Star Trek: Insurrection). Leonard Nimoy will be making a guest appearance via Skype. The eighty-three-year-old Nimoy is only doing convention appearances via Skype now, and his Skype appearance at Away Mission in Tampa earlier this year was very well-received by attendees.
Other media guest stars include Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver, Stargate SG-1), Teryl Rothery (Stargate, Caprica), Eve Myles (Torchwood, Dr. Who), Silas Weir Mitchell (Grimm, 24), and Star Trek Seekers Cover Artist Rob Caswell.
For fans of Star Trek literature, Shore Leave 36 is the place to be. This year’s list of author guests includes: Kevin Dilmore, Michael Jan Friedman, Dave Galanter, Robert Greenberger, Glenn Hauman, Jim Johnson, Jeffrey Lang, William Leisner, David Mack, Steven H Wilson, Marco Palmieri, Aaron Rosenberg, Melissa Scott, Kevin G Summers, Dayton Ward, Howard Weinstein, and Richard C White. Fans can get their books autographed in the Meet the Pros event.
Five books will debut at Shore Leave 36; Star Trek Seekers (Ward/Dilmore/Mack and Caswell), New Lives and New Civilizations: Exploring Star Trek Comics (DeCandido/Dilmore/Greenberger/Ward), Stargate Atlantis: Unascended (Graham/Griswold), Tales of the Crimson Keep (Crazy 8 Press Production: Friedman/David/Colchamior/ Weinstein/Rosenberg/Hauman/Greenberger/Dilmore), and Somewhere in the Middle of Eternity (Corcoran/Headlee/Roth/Reilly/Wilson/Woods).
