Very exciting to see Fanhome’s reveal of this ship at New York Comic Con — I had a very small part in helping to design the Voyager-A for #StarTrekProdigy.

Truly a bucket list moment for me, as a lifelong Star Trek fan. 🖖

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS
-RING OF FIRE-

available in hardcover, eBook, and unabridged digital audiobook formats wherever new books are sold

SNW RING OF FIRE Cover Alt-Text for Bluesky

Book cover for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS – RING OF FIRE by New York Times Bestselling Author David Mack.

Illustration has a purple-ish space starfield background; very prominent in the center is a black hole surrounded by a reddish-orange-yellow halo of gravitationally distorted light (the titular “ring of fire”). Ghosted and floating in front of this cosmic horror in a pyramid formation are Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), lower left; first officer Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn), middle left; Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), top center; science officer Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck), middle right; and security officer Lieutenant La'An Noonien-Singh, lower right, brandishing a phaser like the awesome badass she is. It’s a truly badass cover, thought it would have been nice if they’d made my name bigger, but whatever.

No, they said pretty clearly at SDCC VERY EARLY 2026 which would indicate Q1 Jan/Feb/March. Hate that is is somehow leaked or news. It’s not.

And of course, First Minister Shakaar Edon in DS9!

Actor, Duncan Regher, playing First Minister Shakaar Edon in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. He has nose ridges and a trailing earring on his right ear as he’s Bajoran (a race from ST). He has a look of concern on his face.

Happy birthday to Duncan Regehr, Star Trek’s most charming ghost, Ronin, from TNG: “Sub Rosa.” Here’s to the man who made candlelight spooky, sensual, and deeply confusing for Dr. Crusher. May your day be less haunted. 💚🕯️👻 #startrektng #startrek #happybirthday
