Summon the Thunder: Star Trek Vanguard - Couverture souple

The Taurus Reach: a remote interstellar expanse that holds a very old and potentially cataclysmic secret, the truth of which is feared by the Tholians, coveted by the Klingons, and dubiously guarded by the Federation. At the centre of this intrigue is Vanguard, a Federation starbase populated by an eclectic mix of Starfleet officers and civilians whose lives are forever altered as they explore the layers of mystery surrounding the Reach and steadily peel them away...
But deep within the Taurus Reach, an ancient and powerful alien mind has awakened prematurely from aeons of hibernation, alerted to the upstart civilisations now daring to encroach upon the worlds in her care. With the stakes for all sides escalating rapidly, the alien lashes out with deadly force against the interlopers, propelling the Vanguard crew on a desperate race to understand the nature of the attacker and to prevent the Taurus Reach from becoming a war zone.

"Star Letter: STAR TREK lives on in your local library" [name of article]
"A lot of fans are going to spend the next few years awaiting a new series. However, I have the perfect solution for those who want their Star Trek fix-go to your nearest bookshop and start reading the many Star Trek novels...I know that some might say that novels are a poor substitute for a live-action TV series, but I disagree. There's a universe of adventure out there...What I'm saying is that the movies and TV shows are not the be-all and end-all. I truly believe that if Star Trek fans were to check out the many novels published, they would be very happy with what they see and it would help pass the time until Star Trek's inevitable return to the big and small screens."
