Star Trek: The Original Series is getting a substantial new adventure for its 60th anniversary with Echoes in Eternity , a brand-new novel from veteran Star Trek author David Mack. Scheduled for release on October 27, 2026, the 368-page book is designed to celebrate the franchise by telling the kind of sprawling cosmic story that would have been difficult to realize on screen in the original television series.
The story revolves around three seemingly separate lives unfolding across decades. One follows a child growing up without the mother she lost, another centers on someone born into privilege who is seeking redemption after falling from grace, while the third concerns a young Starfleet officer receiving a first command. What initially appear to be independent journeys eventually become connected through the mysterious planet KX-1 and whatever secret has arrived there from beyond the stars.
KX-1 presents a unique problem even by Star Trek standards. Situated between two black holes, the barren world can only be reached during limited windows created by its unusual orbit and the extreme gravitational forces surrounding it. Discovering what happened there consequently requires three separate missions spread across 27 years, allowing Echoes in Eternity to examine its central mystery across different stages of its characters’ lives. The publisher also teases growing tensions and mistrust between the three central figures, suggesting their personal conflicts will become just as important as solving KX-1’s larger cosmic puzzle.
You can pre-order Star Trek: The Original Series — Echoes in Eternity on Amazon now.
Mack is particularly well suited to revisit The Original Series era, as he helped develop the acclaimed *Star Trek: Vanguard *saga, which expanded the world surrounding Kirk’s Enterprise during the 23rd century, and wrote several of its major installments, beginning with Harbinger and later including Reap the Whirlwind, Precipice , and finale Storming Heaven .
He returned to that corner of the franchise with 2022’s Harm’s Way , another Original Series novel involving Kirk, the Klingons, and Operation Vanguard. Booklist praised that novel as an entertaining, fast-moving adventure for *TOS *fans.
