Christopher Bennett answered Chris Townsend's question: Hi Chris. I love your books that take place between the first two Star Trek movies. Have you considered doing one between Star Trek V and VI? There's a surprisingly small amount of books in this period. I'd be open to it in theory, but it's up to the publisher to commission novels, and there are fewer Trek books being published these days than there used to be. So there's no way of knowing if or when I'd get the chance.
