UPDATED!
Star Trek and me go back a long way, right to the start of my professional career and the beginning of my nerdy odyssey – that galaxy-spanning saga got me my first paid writing gigs and in the intervening years, I’ve come back to revisit it again and again. And today, as publishers Simon & Schuster have officially released the details to the world, it is with great pleasure that I can reveal my next adventure on the Final Frontier…
A thrilling new novel based on the Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!
While patrolling the borders of the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise detect a series of subspace echoes from a planet orbiting a volatile flare star — and when Lieutenant Spock and Commander Una Chin-Riley lead a landing party to learn more, they discover the ruins of a dead civilization and evidence of starship-grade metals…quite possibly a crash site.
As they continue to investigate the strange signals, Spock and Una find shocking signs of dangerous alien life and remnants of what can only be Federation hardware. The trail soon leads Pike and Enterprise’s helmswoman Lieutenant Erica Ortegas deep into the mystery of a lost Starfleet vessel, missing in action for over ninety years—and to a terrible dilemma that will challenge the crew to question their past…and their future.
I’ve had a great time watching Strange New Worlds and I’m excited to be writing a novel featuring this crew and this era of the Star Trek universe. The release date for Toward The Night is a way off yet – it’ll be out in hardcover, audiobook and eBook editions at the end of April next year – but pre-orders are already live as I write this.
