Star Trek: The Original Series
ECHOES IN ETERNITY

An epic new novel celebrating
the 60th anniversary of
Star Trek: The Original Series!

 
THREE LIVES
A child mourns the mother she’ll never know; a scion of privilege falls into disgrace and yearns to redeem his sullied name; and a young Starfleet officer who dreams of a life lived amidst the stars receives his first starship command…each of them unaware that the threads of their lives are fated to be eternally intertwined.

THREE DECADES
On the surface of barren world KX-1 lies a secret fallen from the stars. But this desolate planet is accessible only during brief intervals, many years apart, thanks to its complex orbit between two black holes, whose fearsome gravities bend space and time. To unravel its mysteries will be the work of not one mission but three, carried out over the course of twenty-seven years.

ONE DESTINY
As flaring tensions place innocent lives in peril, three souls who have no reason to trust one another must put aside their fears and suspicions to embrace the possibility of a grander cosmos than they’ve ever dared to imagine, one in which all that we do in life echoes in eternity….

Klingons and their dislike of beachwear! Here covered in #StarfleetAcademy's "Ko'Zeine"⬅️ and #StarTrekDS9's "Let He Who Is Without Sin..."➑️. Doesn't matter if it's Ibiza or Risa - they just hate it! ;-)

Pike's daily inspirational tubolift/corridor quote was really hard to read in #StarfleetAcademy's "Beta Test"⬇️. Thankfully, (most of) it can be read much better in "Vitus Reflux"⬆️. Pike spoke these words in the #StarTrekDiscovery season 2 episode "Project Daedalus" (2nd pic).

This must be my favourite callback in #StarfleetAcademy ("Beta Test") so far: the gramophone in Ake's office features several alien musical instruments: a Vulcan chime (#StarTrekTNG's "Haven"↗️), Vulcan bells ("#StarTrekTOS' "Amok Time"➑️) and an Enaran instrument (#StarTrekVOY's "Remember"β†˜οΈ). 🧡 1/2

OTD, the first day of filming on #StarTrek, ever: Cameras start rolling on "The Cage" as they shoot the scene where Dr. Boyce makes martinis for himself and Captain Pike in Pike's quarters. "Sometimes a man'll tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor."

Our indoor cat Precious accidentally got out on Sept 29, and we’ve not yet been able find him & get him back home. We’ve got live traps out & neighbours keeping an eye out, but no luck so far. If you have any positive thoughts or prayers that you could send our way, they’d be greatly appreciated.

Before I start talking about food on #StarTrekTOS, I have to mention the very first drink/food ever seen on #StarTrek: The martini Dr. Boyce serves to Captaik Pike (in a beaker, no less) in the original pilot "The Cage". This is the only time a martini is seen without olives on the shows: 🧡 1/2

We get a good look at Pike's bedroom in #StarTrekSNW's "New Life and New Civilizations". I love that he has a model of the USS Enterprise on display and there are books not in the shelves but on top of the whole shelf unit (like in my bedroom - just not enough space for #StarTrek books!) 😜

In future Pike's home in #StarTrekSNW's "New Life and New Civilizations"⬅️, there's a bottle of brown kanar in its trademark bottle. It's the same rare brown kanar variety that only appeared in #StarTrekDS9's "Way of the Warrior"➑️ (instead of the much more common black variety). πŸ‘Œ
