This is up on Amazon, B&N, etc., so I think it’s okay for me to share it: the cover of my upcoming Star Trek: The Original Series 60th Anniversary novel ECHOES IN ETERNITY, featuring art by none other than the great, Locus Award-winning artist @johnpicacio.bsky.social! davidmack.pro/writing/echo...

RED BANNER ACROSS TOP:
60TH ANNIVERSARY [Star Trek Delta Icon] 1966–2026

Star Trek: The Original Series
ECHOES IN ETERNITY

DAVID MACK
New York Times Bestselling Author

Art: Images of Spock and the Starship Enterprise from three different eras of Star Trek: from The Original Series; from The Motion Picture; and from the late movie era, (red uniforms). Behind Spock and the starships are three circles with solid inner borders and a broken outer border; the top circle behind TOS Spock is filled with watery dark blue and violet cloudy fluids; a Star Trek delta icon filled with the movie-era transporter effect is behind Motion Picture-era Spock; and the bottom circle is empty.

It’s listed on Amazon, so the news can now be shared: My next book scheduled for publication is a Star Trek: The Original Series novel titled ECHOES IN ETERNITY, coming Nov. 24 in hardcover, to celebrate Star Trek's 60th anniversary! (no cover art yet) Link: www.amazon.com/dp/1668233673 Blurb:

Star Trek: The Original Series
ECHOES IN ETERNITY

An epic new novel celebrating
the 60th anniversary of
Star Trek: The Original Series!

THREE LIVES
A child mourns the mother she’ll never know; a scion of privilege falls into disgrace and yearns to redeem his sullied name; and a young Starfleet officer who dreams of a life lived amidst the stars receives his first starship command…each of them unaware that the threads of their lives are fated to be eternally intertwined.

THREE DECADES
On the surface of barren world KX-1 lies a secret fallen from the stars. But this desolate planet is accessible only during brief intervals, many years apart, thanks to its complex orbit between two black holes, whose fearsome gravities bend space and time. To unravel its mysteries will be the work of not one mission but three, carried out over the course of twenty-seven years.

ONE DESTINY
As flaring tensions place innocent lives in peril, three souls who have no reason to trust one another must put aside their fears and suspicions to embrace the possibility of a grander cosmos than they’ve ever dared to imagine, one in which all that we do in life echoes in eternity….

Back in July I had the pleasure of announcing that my Star Trek: TNG short story “Family History” in Star Trek Explorer #14 had won the IAMTW's 2025 Scribe Award for Best Short Story. Today I had the pleasure of receiving the physical award itself and adding it to my “brag shelf.” Color me pleased!

From author David Mack's brag shelf, a close-up of his newly arrived 2025 Scribe Award for Best Short Story, Star Trek: The Next Generation, “Family History” in Star Trek Explorer #14.

Author David Mack's "brag shelf" which is actually two shelves of books, magazines, and awards separated by a short middle shelf filled with a variety of bunny figurines.

New on my "brag shelf" — my Peabody Award! It’s not an individual award; I’m not THAT special. It’s a personalized version of the "institutional award" bestowed upon the STAR TREK franchise in 2023. Anyone who worked in a credited capacity on any of the shows can buy one. Still cool, though. 🙂

The “brag shelf” of multi-award-winning and New York Times bestselling (and modest, don’t forget modest) author David Mack. It occupies two tall shelves stacked high with his various published tomes and awards he has won -- including the most recently added 2023 Peabody Award statuette, which is not an individual honor but rather an "institutional award" personalized to recognize Mack's specific, credited contributions to the filmed/televised incarnations of the Star Trek franchise. Anybody who did credited work for any of the TV series can get one of these, if they're willing to shell out a fistful of cash.

The two shelves of books are separated by a narrow shelf packed with ceramic Bunnykins figurines by Royal Doulton, as well as numerous other tiny sculpted, cast, carved, or glass-blown representations of bunnies, aka “The Great Bunny Council.”

A Peabody Award statuette, which consists of a short, vertically oriented black cylinder base with an engraved brass plaque on the front, and a cast bronze medallion mounted on top.

The engraving on this award's plaque reads:

2023
PEABODY AWARD

Insitutional Award
