Spoilers TOS: Lost to Eternity by Greg Cox Review Thread

About The Book

A thrilling new Star Trek “movie era” novel from New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox!

Three Eras. Three Mysteries. One Ancient Enemy?

2024: Almost forty years ago, marine biologist Gillian Taylor stormed away from her dream job at Sausalito’s Cetacean Institute—and was never seen or heard from again. Now a new true crime podcast has reopened that cold case, but investigator Melinda Silver has no idea that her search for the truth about Gillian’s disappearance will ultimately stretch across time and space—and attract the attention of a ruthless obsessive with his own secret agenda.

2268: The U.S.S. Enterprise’s five-year mission is interrupted when Captain James T. Kirk and his crew set out to recover an abducted Federation scientist whose classified secrets are being sought by the Klingons as well. The trail leads to a barbaric world off limits to both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire—and an ageless mastermind on a quest for eternity.

2292: The Osori, an ancient alien species, has finally agreed to establish relations with its much younger neighbors: the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans. A joint mission involving ships from all three powers, including the Enterprise-A, turns explosive when one of the Osori envoys is apparently killed. Each side blames the others, but the truth lies buried deep, nearly three hundred years in the past…

I'm looking forward to this one even if we have to wait a little bit longer. Very nice cover art. I like Saavik and I´m getting a little bit nostalgic when I look at the cover.

Me, too! This will be my first Trek novel since DS9 Revenant back in December 2021. Saavik was the draw for me - I can barely wait to see what she's been up to.
Only a few days to go!

As I told the author in another thread, I'm waiting for it with a worm on my tongue.

 

[Corran Horn]

40 years ago? but wasn't that just...oh boy.

 

[David Mack]

From the back-cover blurb, this book sounds frickin’ awesome. I can hardly wait to dig into it myself.

Rare praise indeed.

Note that "frickin' awesome" is not to be confused with "a frickin' elephant"

Tell me about it! I had to make the same mental adjustment when I sat down to write the book!

 

[D Man]

Wow, that blurb for the 2024 portion of the book is both the coolest and cleverest idea for a Trek story I've heard of in a long time! I've been out of the TrekLit loop for way too long plus I'm usually not a TOS novel guy...but I think I'll grab this one. I've always enjoyed Greg's work in the past. Looking forward to seeing how all the plots converge.

40 years ago? but wasn't that just...oh boy.

As someone who's got the Big Four Oh looming over my shoulder, I'm kind of in denial about how far in the past TVH really is.

 

[hbquikcomjamesl]

oh boy

Ah, yes, the two-word phrase I spent four years waiting in vain for Captain Archer to utter. (And I had a worm on my tongue for that, too!)

 

[Ronald Held]

Awaiting it to appear Tuesday....

 

[Greg Cox]

And I just spotted it in the wild for the first time -- at our local B&N in Lancaster, PA.

 

[Procutus]

I'm am so psyched for this one. I love this type of story, with elements of the 23rd century connected to the past.

I'll be setting aside my reading of the Agent Pendergast series for this one!

 

[Desert Kris]

I'm excited about this one. And that cover is just stunning!

 

[Enterprise1701]

And I just spotted it in the wild for the first time -- at our local B&N in Lancaster, PA.

I procured my copy straight off the shelf yesterday at a Barnes & Noble!

 

[Avro Arrow]

I managed to pick this one up at Chapters today. With the way things are right now, I have no idea when I'll be able to get to it... I haven't even started Pliable Truths yet.

But at least when the time comes, it will be here waiting.

 

[Kilana2]

With this one my pile of unread books gets higher and higher.... I hope for a German translation, but it is very unlikely. So I´m ready for the Original (as long as it is in English, not in Klingon, that is....)

 

[Procutus]

On order with Amazon... We'll see how soon it gets here.

 

[Reanok]

I'm so looking forward to getting this book I preordered this novel on Amazon. I'm looking forward to finding out what Happened To Gillian Taylor and Saavik in this book.

 

[DarrenTR1970]

I purchased the book at my local Barnes and Noble this morning. It's going to the top of my "to read" pile and I'll get to it eventually; once the family drama has played itself out and I find time for it.
