P.S. Dayton Ward has had 3 stories published in the Strange New World series where fans enter a competition to get in the book
Editor Keith R.A. DeCandido announced that Pocket Books would be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Trek with a six-eBook miniseries covering the entire history of the original series.
"The non-aligned planet Mestiko suffers a grave disaster, and the Enterprise is brought in to help," explained DeCandido of the plot of the miniseries at the TrekBBS. "The disaster will continue to have consequences throughout the next two-plus decades, both for the natives of Mestiko and for the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise."
The first book in the series, by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore, will be released in August 2006 and will be set just prior to the original series' pilot episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Book two, released in September by Mike W. Barr, will take place during the televised five-year mission, while Dave Galanter's third book, to be released in October, will cover the "lost years" between the TV show and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
