Star Trek Classic
Kevin Ryan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Forced to disguise themselves as interstellar traders, Captain Kirk and Mr Spock ae trapped on the primitive world of Organia as Klingon Defence Forces occupy the planet.

When Kirk and Spock sabotage the Klingons in an attempt to show the Organians that they can fight back against Klingon oppression, the Klingon commander, Captain Kor, retaliates by executing Organians in reprisal.

--------------------Fractured history. Broken lives. Splintered souls. Since the alternate universe was first glimpsed in the classic episode "Mirror, Mirror," something about Star Trek's dark side has beckoned us, called to us, tempted us -- like forbidden fruit on the Tree of Knowledge. To taste it is to lose oneself in a world of startling familiarity and terrifying contradictions, where everything and everyone we knew is somehow disturbingly different, and where shocking secrets await their revelation.
What began in 2007 with Glass Empires and Obsidian Alliances -- the first truly in-depth foray into the turbulent history of this other continuum -- now continues in twelve new short tales that revisit and expand upon that so-called "Mirror Universe," spanning all five of the core incarnations of Star Trek, as well as their literary offshoots, across more than two hundred years of divergent history, as chronicled by...

A Singular Destiny
Multi-Serien-Crossover
Keith R.A. DeCandido
The cataclysmic events of Star Trek Destiny have devastated known space. Worlds have fallen. Lives have been destroyed. And in the uneasy weeks that follow, the survivors of the holocaust continue to be tested to the limits of their endurance.
But, strange and mysterious occurrences are destabilizing the galaxy's battle-weary Allies even further. In the Federation, efforts to replenish diminished resources and give succor to millions of evacuees are thwarted at every turn. On the borders of the battered Klingon Empire, the devious Kinshaya sense weakness --and opportunity. In Romulan space, the already-fractured empire is dangerously close to civil war.
As events undermining the quadrant's attempts to heal itself become increasingly widespread, one man begins to understand what is truly unfolding. Sonek Pran - teacher, diplomat, and sometime advisor to the Federation President - perceives a pattern in the seeming randomness. And as each new piece of evidence falls into place, a disturbing picture encompassing half the galaxy begins to take shape, revealing a challenge to the Federation and its allies utterly unlike anything the have faced before.

Mestiko is a world on the brink of interstellar space travel -- and under covert Federation observation. When a rogue pulsar sweeps through their star system and threatens to destroy all life, the Federation mounts a desperate effort to save the planet from annihilation. Under the command of James T. Kirk, the Starship Enterprise is able to mitigate some of the damage, but Mestiko still suffers appalling loss of life. Over the next thirty years, the Enterprise and its crew revisit Mestiko -- whether to prevent its people from falling prey to the machinations of the Klingon Empire or to deliver a new method of replenishing its ozone -- encountering as they do so both hardships and blessings; love, conflict and death.

Open Secrets
Star Trek Vanguard, Band 4
Dayton Ward, Kevin Dilmore
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Open Secrets is the fourth instalment of the compelling new Vanguard series, which returns to the original Star Trek era, but with an entirely new perspective. These novels run parallel to Captain Kirk's original five-year misson, but feature all-original characters who uncover the hidden secrets and flesh-out the complex relationships between the allies and enemies first featured in the original Star Trek series. Open Secrets begins on a space station in the vast and remote region of space known as Taurus Reach. A new commander has taken control of Starbase 47 while his predecessor stands trial for treason. Meanwhile, the station's intelligence officer fights for her life and her very mind, while the ever-present tension with the Klingons escalates into all-out war. Building upon the drama of its Vanguard predecessor, Open Secrets uncovers new truths and features all-new characters to offer a completely new take on the classic Star Trek era.

Star Trek Classic
Roman-Adaption des Kinofilms
Alan Dean Foster
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Few films have been so keenly awaited or the subject of so much internet debate as the twelfth Star Trek movie -- the first since 2002 -- which is scheduled to be released in May 2009. Directed by J.J. Abrams, creator of cutting-edge cult television shows Lost and Alias, the film is expected to launch the Star Trek franchise into a new stellar era. Going back to the very beginnings of the classic Star Trek, the film tells how James T. Kirk, the half-Vulcan Spock, Dr McCoy, engineer Montgomery Scott and crew members Chekov, Sulu and Uhura first came together as rookie Starfleet recruits, and how they embraced the destiny that would later send them out across the galaxy accompanied by the immortal words: 'These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise...' A largely brand new cast including Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, Karl Urban as McCoy alongside Eric Bana, Winona Ryder and Leonard Nimoy will bring Star Trek to a whole new audience, while at the same time Alan Dean Foster's novelization will enthrall both existing fans and a new generation of readers.

Troublesome Minds
Star Trek Classic
Dave Galanter
First contact becomes an interstellar incident when the Starship Enterprise responds to a distress call from an unknown ship and saves the life of a man left to die by his own people. Berlis, a member of a telepathic species calling themselves the Isitri, claims not to know why those from his homeworld would want him dead. Captain James T. Kirk wants to believe him, but the damage is done: the Enterprise can neither leave the stranger to die nor turn him over to those who would kill him. Berlis seems harmless, but his people say he cannot live among them: his telepathy is so strong that their wills are subsumed to his. The same fear that compels the Isitri to seek the death of one of their own drives the neighbouring Odib people towards genocide. For every time an 'alpha mind' dominates the Isitri, the Odib pay the price in their own blood. With Spock becoming erratic under Berlis's influence, and the Isitri begging Kirk to allow them to destroy the man who threatens their existence, matters take a disastrous turn when Berlis makes his way back to Isitra -- and an entire world falls to his whims.
), da ich sie erstens nur sporadisch lese und das zweitens die Liste doch ziemlich aufblähen würde, IDW überschwemmt den Markt zur Zeit jeden Monat mit mehreren Reihen. Bei Countdown werde ich aber eine Ausnahme machen, da es direkt mit dem Film zusammenhängt. Quasi zeitgleich mit der englischen soll auch eine deutsche Version 8Bei Cross Cult) erscheinen, die habe ich ebenfalls bereits mit eingebaut.
