After getting some much appreciated feedback from many Trek fans, I gathered that more people are interested in a prose short story format. Since the first installment was written as a screenplay, the adaptation process to short story has taken longer than anticipated. What came out to be 20 page screenplay is going to end up being a 50 page short story and this is only the first book!
The initial release was to be Nov. 28th but I project that this will not be ready until sometime mid-December. Sorry folks! I just want to make sure the content is my best my effort!
I'll announce the revised release date in a week or so.

Series Premiere Due Out Nov. 28th!
Hello All,
Star Trek: The Forge is a fan made spin off of the TV series , Star Trek: Enterprise. The series will follow the lives of all the characters from the Enterprise series and be told in a literary prose form. Essentially they will be short stories, made available in individual episodes that are part of an overall story arc.
To put this spin off in context, let's go back to the fourth and final season of Star Trek: Enterprise. Prior to the series finale episode of the series, "These Are The Voyages..." there was a two episode story arc: "Demons" and "Terra Prime." These two episodes took place in the year 2155, while the final episode, which followed right after, took place much later in the year 2161.
In this series finale that took place in 2161, the Enterprise and its crew were on their way to Earth where Captain Jonathan Archer was to give a speech and oversee the signing of a treaty that would charter the Federation of Planets.
Star Trek: The Forge tells the story that lead to this event, by taking place during those missing years, 2156 to 2160. A time most popularly noted as being the Earth-Romulan War. As you may imagine, much of this series will deal with the events of this war. Since there has been no canonical account of these events, at least not in detail, Star Trek: The Forge endeavors to fill that gap with an original telling of these missing years.
Be sure to check out the first installment of the series, "The Five Omens," on November 28th, 2008.
