The Psi Phi website has posted the cover artwork for DEATH IN WINTER, the first STAR TREK novel to be set after the events in STAR TREK: NEMESIS. The hardback will be written by Michael Jan Friedman and arrive on store shelves on September 20, 2005.

What little is known about the book's storyline is that it is set during the weeks immediately following the Enterprise-E's battle with Shinzon, when the vessel was in drydock and undergoing repairs. As was seen during the final moments of NEMESIS, Captain Picard had just welcomed his new first officer, Commander Martin Madden, to the ship and is presented with his new captain's chair. One rumored plotline that Psi Phi mentions that may or may not be true involves the death of another major character from the NEXT GENERATION ensemble.

Also worthy of mention is a new STAR TREK line of novels to be published in 2005. Titled STAR TREK: VANGUARD, these books are set on a Federation starbase and set during the time of Captain Kirk's original five-year mission on the Enterprise. The first novel will be written by longtime TREK novelist David Mack and be published in August.
