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….

It’s listed on Amazon, so the news can now be shared:

My next book scheduled for publication is a Star Trek: The Original Series novel titled ECHOES IN ETERNITY, coming Nov. 24 in hardcover, to celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary!

From author David Mack's brag shelf, a close-up of his newly arrived 2025 Scribe Award for Best Short Story, Star Trek: The Next Generation, “Family History” in Star Trek Explorer #14.

Author David Mack's "brag shelf" which is actually two shelves of books, magazines, and awards separated by a short middle shelf filled with a variety of bunny figurines.

Back in July I had the pleasure of announcing that my Star Trek: TNG short story “Family History” in Star Trek Explorer #14 had won the IAMTW's 2025 Scribe Award for Best Short Story. Today I had the pleasure of receiving the physical award itself and adding it to my “brag shelf.” Color me pleased!

From the folks at Fan Film Factor, a very favorable and well-crafted review of the STAR TREK: KHAN audio drama series!

From the review: “Incredibly well written…” ('Nuff said!)

I honestly don't know, but that seems logical.

Book Cover Text: STAR TREK Section 31 CONTROL New York Times Bestselling Author DAVID MACK cover art: semi-profile of Doctor Julian Bashir, 50-ish and bearded, being targeted by a high-tech holographic sniper's scope reticle. Superimposed over the image is biographical information ostensibly drawn from his Starfleet personnel file. The art has a monochromatic look, all of it drenched in a deep, blood-red hue.
