Star Trek Coda: Book III - Oblivion’s Gate- is out now, so you all should probably expect spoilers within this thread and elsewhere from here on out.

Hey guys,
The Star Trek Expanded Universe, which is about 15 years of consistent world-building and crossover is finally coming to an end with the CODA trilogy that will either wipe out the universe or bring all of its plotlines to an end.

For 15 years, this line of novels was the only way for fans to continue adventuring in the final frontier with the cast of characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager. Now, with Star Trek: Picard offering a new canon continuation of the Star Trek story, the books have been in an awkward position. The Star Trek: Coda trilogy will alleviate that tension and, most assume, bring closure to this version of Star Trek's future.
The three books in the trilogy — Moments Asunder by Dayton Ward, The Ashes of Tomorrow by James Swallow, and Oblivion's Gate by David Mack — are now available to pre-order on Amazon. The first, Moments Asunder, will release on September 28th, with the two sequels following monthly. The pre-order pages include synopses for the books, revealing a plot dealing in time travel. Each installment promises, "The crews of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Ezri Dax, and William Riker unite to prevent a cosmic-level apocalypse—only to find that some fates really are inevitable."
The trilogy dealing with time travel is interesting. Could this be a way of having versions of characters from the novel timeline interact with versions of characters from the new canon timeline? Will the novel timeline ultimately be erased by this "temporal apocalypse"? Or could the book establish the novels as a splinter timeline from the Prime Timeline, allowing more adventures to come?
