Official synopsis:

The Cerritos away team begin their investigation on Laapoonia to find out what happened to the Laapeerians. (Don’t get Laapeeria and Laapoonia twisted — it’s not that hard.) Despite their best efforts, and much to Tendi’s chagrin, everyone on the crew except T’Lyn manages to offend the Laapoonians before they can get any answers... How will the Cerritos ever make second contact with the Laapeerians if they can’t even get their first contact with the Laapoonians right?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
The Seeds of Salvation #4

The Enterprise is under attack by drones dispatched from the planet Poilant. Meanwhile, Chapel contends with "The Seed," which has taken control of Una Chin-Riley and La'an Noonien-Singh. At the same time, Spock and the shuttle crew descend into the depths of Poilant's ocean, confronted by a tentacled horror...

Official synopsis:

The Seed has taken hold — body, mind, and soul. Now under its control, Una and Jinare have become relentless drones, driven by vengeance. As Chapel struggles to untangle the lies binding them together, La’An, Spock, Scotty, and D6 fight to reconnect with the Enterprise... but first, they must survive the crushing abyss — and a colossal sentient squid guarding the way to the surface.

Aboard the Enterprise, Uhura intercepts a strange signal pulsing from Poilant’s surface — faint, fragmented, and impossible to trace. But Ortegas spots something else: a glowing red light spreading across the terrain, its shape disturbingly familiar. Is it... a ship? Or something far more dangerous?

Official synopsis:

Only two red shirts remain. The other ten crewmembers on Mission Squawkbox have plummeted hundreds of feet to the ground, been eaten alive by giant alien insects, or been exploded into a million tiny bits by falling torpedoes. Each death has dealt a blow to Ensigns Raad’s and Miller’s morale... Is Starfleet really the paragon of cooperation it claims to be? Or is it willing to expend its members’ lives for the sake of peace? With both Klingons and Romulans breathing down their necks, Raad’s and Miller’s loyalty will be tested. Are they for Starfleet? Or themselves?

Star Trek: The Original Series
Identity Theft
by Greg Cox

Out today is a brand-new Star Trek: The Original Series novel from veteran Trek author Greg Cox: Identity Theft!

Check out the back-cover blurb and links to purchase from Amazon below.

Publisher's description:

This all-new Star Trek novel celebrates the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series—continuing the legacy of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise.

2269: The prospect of peace had seemed unattainable until the assistance of the Federation. Finally, countless ancient enemies have stopped their conflicts simply by listening to one another. On the planet Voyzr, Captain James T. Kirk and his crew aided the planet to realize peace.

2289: Invited to celebrate twenty years of peace, the crew of the USS Enterprise-A is returning to Voyzr as honored guests. Security Chief Pavel Chekov remembers his visit to the planet as a green ensign. He has always believed the negotiations were too easy, and he wondered if there are people on the planet who still long for war—and have been waiting for just the right moment to upend the peace. Unfortunately, Chekov discovers he is right when he finds himself in the middle of a dangerous ploy.
