More than ten years after the premiere of Star Trek (2009), the Kelvin Timeline is getting its first original novel.
TrekCore announced on Twitter: “The first #StarTrek Kelvin Timeline novel, originally slated as ‘Refugees’ from author Alan Dean Foster - and retitled ‘The Order of Peace’ at STLV2019 -- is now called ‘The Unsettling Stars,’ and will arrive in April 2020.”
From publisher Simon & Schuster, who, it should be noted is owned by Viacom, the new novel is the first original Star Trek novel by author Foster. His previous Star Trek work includes the Star Trek Log series of novelizations of The Animated Series, and the novelizations of Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness.
The synopsis of the plot of The Unsettling Stars reads: “Taking place in an alternate timeline created when the Starship Kelvin was destroyed by a Romulan invader from the future, this bold new novel follows Captain James T. Kirk and an inexperienced crew commandeering a repaired U.S.S. Enterprise out of spacedock for a simple shakedown cruise. When a distress call comes in, the Enterprise must aid a large colony ship of alien refugees known as the Perenorean, who are under siege by an unknown enemy. But Kirk and his crew will find that the situation with the peaceful Perenorean is far more complicated than they bargained for, and the answers as to why they were attacked in the first place unfold in the most insidious of ways…”
According to Amazon, The Unsettling Stars is due to be released April 14th, 2020.
