This weekend there is a Star Trek convention, which is good news for me, because during these events they update the fans on all the upcoming Trek projects, and that update, at least in part, has been given. Now I know that at least tentativly, there are many upcoming Trek books to be excited about. Here is the tentative schedule for the books I'm excited about reading:
