The old numbered book series at leats stayed with a theme for a few books but now, we are all over the places.Since the reboot, even some of the authors are &quot;onhold&quot; until they get the okay to move the story forward.</p> <p>In my opinion they need to sit down and come up with a 5 year plan. With books that fill in some of the unknowns on the movie while we are waiting for the next one.</p> <p>jedge1 </p> http://forums.startrekbookclub.com/topic.php?id=18#post-132 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:08:09 +0000 jedge1234 132@http://forums.startrekbookclub.com/ <p>I read alot of Star Trek but have not tried Voyager yet.

There would also be an insurance charge which would be refunded upon retrieval of the book, so people would be disinclined to steal them. I was worried the cost would be too high as well, but I&#39;m not quite sure how to deal with the problem.<br /> I suppose you&#39;re right about general wear and tear. I think a lot of people would treat the books more kindly, though, because they know they belong to someone else.
