Star Trek Novels in Germany

We're getting the autobiography of Kathryn Janeway!
I'm quite glad they're not starting with the Kirk biography. I made it through about a third and it may be one of my least favorite Star Trek prose fiction ever.

Captain Hernandez nips!Cross Cult is putting out hardcover collections of Destiny, Prometheus and Prey:
Two new SCE print collections are being worked on!
Presumably the first one will include the Foundations trilgy, and the second one Enigma Ship, the War Stories duolgy and the Wildfire duology. That would leave a third compilation with already translated stories.

Cross Cult has started a 300 likes contest on Facebook: they want to get the A time to..... series.
As I'm not on Facebook I can't vote..... I'm afraid votes on BBS don't count. I hope they'll create new covers for the books. It's a series I would definitely read again in German.

Now that you mention it, I think I will only buy them if they make new covers

That's what I just told @David Mack in the Q & A thread. But even if they use the original covers: my edition is too worn and used. Maybe I'll get rid of the englisch ones later on - just to clear my shelf a bit. New books look better on it....
I'd probably just get the English eBook. Although I may not get the choice, since the post only got to 241 and was posted over a day ago, so chances seem slim.That's what I just told @David Mack in the Q & A thread.

279!
The 300 will be reached tomorrow for sure.
But I'm sure, we will get "A time to..." anyway. There are not that many untranslated Star Trek novels, that Cross Cult could publish in Germany. So that's the most logical choice. Maybe The Lost Era is next.
BTW: There is a new Facebook group for Star Trek Novels in Germany:

Something for you @Jinn ?

I'll look into that, thanks!
Wow, that does surprise me! Although apparently there was a bit of, let's say divine intervention
Quite fitting for First Contact Day!

Well, do you think Q had his fingers in it? Oh, you said divine intervention, not omnipotent intervention. And currently Q
doesn't seem to be all that omnipotent.
I like to try to use my powers for good when I can.I'll look into that, thanks!

The first "A Time to" novel is now listed on startrekromane.de, and its name is "Zeit das Wandels - Geburt", which translates to "Time of Change - Birth". I'm assuming that "Zeit des Wandels" is going to be the German translation of "A Time to", and then the individual novels will just be called "Birth", "Death etc, but in German (obviously). I really hope we're gonna get a new set of covers here. The "A Time to" covers were always some of my least favourites. The book is also planned for April 2023, so if we get monthly releases next year, the series would be complete by December. If that is the case (and so far it is purely speculation on my part), I wonder what that means for original releases in 2023, as I'd assume Cross Cult would want to put them out at the same time as the originals, when possible.
Anyway, I can't wait to finally read those books!
