2011 Star Trek Books Schedule

Thanks to TrekMovie, you can now find out the preliminary plans for the next wave of Star Trek books coming out next year. The books explore most of the various sub-franchises within the Star Trek universe from Star Trek 2.0-verse, New Frontier, TOS era, Next Generation, and bunch more. Personally I highly recommend most Star Trek books as just a fun read. The post Star Trek: Nemesis books have been solid for the last few years now as it continues the adventures of the Star Trek universe of characters from Deep Space Nine, The Next Generation, and Voyager often in new yet familiar directions.
