Keith R.A. DeCandido, also known as the editor of the
Star Trek: S.C.E. series, offered this announcement about upcoming projects today:

Progress by
Terri OsborneHow did David Gold wind up commanding an S.C.E. ship, anyhow? This story of Gold's intro to the Corps of Engineers will guest star TNG's Dr. Katherine Pulaski and bring back the world of Drema IV and the character of Sarjenka from the episode "Pen Pals." Osborne is the author of #50: Malefictorum, as well as stories in DS9: Prophecy and Change,
NF: No Limits, and VOY: Distant Shores.

The Future Begins by Steve Mollmann & Michael Schuster
Many fans have wondered how Scotty could have been a greeter on Risa in the New Frontier novels when he was running the S.C.E. This story by new authors Mollmann & Schuster explains this disparity in a story of Dominion War espionage guest starring Admirals Ross and Nechayev, as well as Geordi La Forge.

Echoes of Coventry by Richard C. White
Before he joined the S.C.E., Bart Faulwell was a crytography expert for Starfleet during the Dominion War. This tale will examine one of those top-secret missions in which Faulwell has to make the most difficult choice of his career. This is the first Trek story from White, the author of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy and the creator of the comics Troubleshooters Inc. and Chronicles of the Sea Dragon.
#64:
TBA by Dayton Ward &
Kevin DilmoreThis story -- the title of which is still top-secret -- will combine the U.S.S. Lovell and their 23rd century Corps of Engineers team (from #17-19:
Foundations and #44:
Where Time Stands Still) with the intrepid crew from the upcoming Star Trek: Vanguard. We'd tell you more, but then we'd have to kill you. Ward & Dilmore have written eight previous S.C.E. eBooks, as well as "Field Expediency," the S.C.E. story in
Tales of the Dominion War."
Pretty cool, huh?
