Strange New Worlds 2 (novel)
All-new Star Trek adventures – by the fans for the fans!
Pocket Books held a contest of amateur writers and chose seventeen of those stories to publish in what would become an annual contest. Some of the writers will go on to write other Star Trek stories.
Book Jacket
- Back by popular demand! Our second anthology featuring original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager stories written by Star Trek fans, for Star Trek fans!
- Our first Strange New Worlds competition drew thousands of submissions and Strange New Worlds II drew even more. From this mountain of astounding stories, these few, written exclusively by brand-new authors, were selected for their originality and style.
- These tales rocket across the length and breadth of Federation time and space, from when Captain Kirk explored the galaxy on the first Starship Enterprise through Captain Picard's U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D and Captain Sisko's Deep Space Nine to Captain Janeway's Starship Voyager, with many fascinating stops along the way.
- Find out what happens in the Star Trek universe when fans - like you – take the helm!
