David Mack has
blogged the first details of his contribution to
The Fall, the 24th century crossover miniseries coming at the end of the year. Here's what he had to say about his book,
A Ceremony of Losses:
It will feature characters from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series, including Doctor Julian Bashir on the new-and-improved DS9 station, and Captain Ezri Dax and her crew aboard the U.S.S. Aventine. It will be a combination political-medical-military thriller that will have serious and lasting consequences for some of our continuing principal characters.
And, although this is subject to change, at the moment its opening sentence is, “There was so much blood.”
Elsewhere in the world of Trek lit, the latest episode of
Trek FM's Literary Treks podcast featured an extensive interview with another
The Fall author,
Una McCormack. She reconfirmed her book,
The Crimson Shadow, will feature Garak and Picard, and also mentioned it will be set on Cardassia. The interview focused mainly on her previous
Star Trek books however, in particular her latest, the
Typhon Pact novel,
Brinkmanship, which was discussed in impressive detail!
