Simon & Schuster<\/em> has provided details for the first three Trek novels of 2019. Plus – all the books will be released in the trade paperback size, and of course, will be available as Kindle<\/em> books.<\/p>\n

Here is the description of The Way to the Stars<\/em> by Una McCormack<\/strong>, which will release in January 2019. “Despite being an inexperienced Starfleet cadet, Sylvia Tilly became essential to the U.S.S. Discovery<\/em> finding its way back home from the Mirror Universe. But how did she find that courage? From where did she get that steel? Who nurtured that spark of brilliance? The Way to the Stars<\/em> recounts for fans everywhere the untold story of Tilly\u2019s past.<\/p>\n

“It’s not easy being sixteen, especially when everyone expects great things from Tilly. It’s even harder when her mother and father are Federation luminaries, not to mention pressing her to attend one of the best schools that the Federation has to offer. Tilly wants to achieve great things\u2014even though she hasn’t quite worked out how to do that or what it is she wants to do. But this year, everything will change for Tilly, as she about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime \u2014 an adventure that will take her ever closer to the stars.”<\/p>\n

In March, look for The Antares Maelstrom<\/em> by Greg Cox<\/strong>. Here is its description: “The final frontier erupts into chaos as vast quantities of a rare energy source are discovered beneath the surface of Baldur-3, a remote planet beyond the outer fringes of Federation space. Now an old-fashioned ‘gold rush’ is underway as a flood of would-be prospectors, from countless worlds and species, races toward the planet to stake their claim. The galactic stampede threatens the stability of neighboring planets and space stations, as widespread strife and sabotage and all-around pandemonium result in a desperate need for Starfleet assistance. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise<\/em> are dispatched to deal with the escalating crisis…which lies on the other side of a famously perilous region of space known as the Antares Maelstrom.”<\/p>\n

Finally, in April comes Dayton Ward<\/strong>‘s Available Ligh<\/em>t. In Available Light<\/em>, “Section 31, the covert organization which has operated without accountability in the shadows for more than two centuries, has been exposed. Throughout the Federation, the rogue group\u2019s agents and leaders are being taken into custody as the sheer scope of its misdeeds comes to light. Now Starfleet Command must decide the consequences for numerous officers caught up in the scandal\u2014including Admirals William Ross, Edward Jellico, Alynna Nechayev, and Captain Jean-Luc Picard who, along with many others, are implicated in the forced removal of a Federation president.<\/p>\n

“Meanwhile, deep in the distant, unexplored region of space known as the Odyssean Pass, Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise<\/em> must put aside personal feelings and political concerns as they investigate a massive mysterious spacecraft. Adrift for centuries in the void, the ship is vital to the survival of an endangered civilization which has spent generations searching for a world to sustain what remains of its people. Complicating matters is a band of marauders who have their own designs on the ancient ship, with only the Enterprise<\/em> standing in their way…”<\/p>\n
