Star Trek: Aldrin

@Adef187: I'm enjoying the hell out of Aldrin.
@antijingoist: Well… I got nothing done at work so I could read it.
@bshermcincy: Fun read.
@ihoov: Loved it! Great direction for the Starfleet story.
@jespahTrekFanFi: Have you read Star Trek: Aldrin yet? Derek Kessler does it up right!
@LumixRoy: I read the whole thing over a week, and I truly enjoyed all of it. Thanks again for a great Trek adventure.
@LumixRoy: A remarkably entertaining re-direction of Star Trek, through the eyes of one of its greatest fans.
@PlaidPhantom: Dang you, I stayed up super late reading all of Aldrin and now I'm going to be regretting it all day today. It scratched an itch for late-era Star Trek I didn't realize I still had.
@TerilynnS: Ahhhhhhh!! *fangirl flail*
Why does Star Trek: Aldrin exist? Why is it free? How does it fit into the existing Star Trek universe? An explanation.

Please note that Star Trek: Aldrin does not fit into the 'expanded universe' of post-TNG-era Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books. I disagree with the direction the Star Trek novel universe has taken under the direction of Pocket Books; Star Trek: Aldrin plots a different and less destructive course.

About The Author

Star Trek: Aldrin is written by Derek Kessler. Asked to describe himself, Derek would tell you that he's many things — a tech news writer, a web developer, a soldier, a professional ranter, an armchair political pundit, an occasional fan fiction author, and an all-around nerd.

Derek first started writing the Star Trek: Aldrin series in 2004 as a way to explore the Star Trek universe in the post-TNG-era. While a few Star Trek movies have come out in that time, several Star Trek novels have also been published, taking the universe in a destructive direction that Derek just wasn't comfortable with. So, in 2012 Derek completed a total rewrite on the first Star Trek: Aldrin novel - Sic Semper Tyrannis - to share his vision of the ongoing Star Trek universe.
