Titan Magazines’ Star Trek Explorer has compiled fourteen short stories from writers of some of the universe of Star Trek’s tie-in novels, and they will be coming your way in a hardcover collection next month called Star Trek Explorer: “The Mission” and Other Stories (available for pre-order now here at Amazon).  If you are a regular reader of Star Trek tie-in novels, you’ll be familiar with the writers tapped for this book, including authors reviewed at borg before like James Swallow, Greg Cox, and Una McCormack.  The book includes a kind of “what if” collection including tales starring characters plucked from the original series, Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.

Take an early sneak peek at what is in store in the collection below.

One of the bonuses of this volume is accompanying artwork by Louie De Martinis, each displayed in a full magazine page-sized presentation.

Look for a story about Dixon Hill, Captain Archer’s dog Porthos, Commander Will Riker, Guinan, Dr. Pulaski as an android, several Deep Space Nine stories featuring Chief O’Brien, Dr. Bashir, Major Kira, and Garak, and more.

Here are some pages from Star Trek Explorer: “The Mission” and Other Stories:
