Back at the end of 2023, I mentioned that my favorite quiet thinking spot from my days at the University of Cincinnati, a small enclosed courtyard that I always called “the Alcove” because I didn’t know the correct term for it at the time, had been torn down as part of the demolition and replacement of the deteriorating 1930s extension of the 1917 Old Chemistry building. This morning, I went for a

Christopher Bennett answered Chris Townsend's question: Hi Chris. I love your books that take place between the first two Star Trek movies. Have you considered doing one between Star Trek V and VI? There's a surprisingly small amount of books in this period. I'd be open to it in theory, but it's up to the publisher to commission novels, and there are fewer Trek books being published these days than there used to be. So there's no way of knowing if or when I'd get the chance.
