We’re still not sure when Star Trek: Prodigy will return to complete its first season, but this week the animated Protostar crew landed their first tie-in book deals, with a pair of print releases slated for the early part of 2023.
First up is Star Trek: Prodigy — Supernova, a “middle-grade” adventure based upon the forthcoming video game of the same name (which itself arrives in October). Longtime Star Trek writer Robb Pearlman is authoring this 160-page book, set to arrive in stores January 17, 2023.
In this middle grade adventure based on the Star Trek: Prodigy video game, Dal and Gwyn must rescue their missing crewmates.
When the Protostar crash-lands in a peculiar star system, the crew ends up separated and Dal and Gwyn must work together to find their missing crewmates. They don’t have much time, though: the nearby star is destabilized and in danger of creating a supernova. Then Dal and Gwyn discover evil droids patrolling the area, and they look just like the Watchers back in Tars Lamora. How will Dal and Gwyn confront this nightmare from their past…and prevent an explosion in their near future?
The Supernova book can be preordered today for $17.99 in hardcover, or for $6.99 in paperback or Kindle.
The second book, Star Trek: Prodigy — A Dangerous Trade, is also scheduled for release on January 17 and is an original tale set to star the Protostar crew. This book is written by author Cassandra Rose Clarke, who first joined the Star Trek print world with her 2021 Next Gen novel Shadows Have Offended.
While traveling through the Delta Quadrant, the Protostar crew discovers a worn transporter coil on their ship. Despite Janeway’s misgivings, the crew decides to trade a Starfleet-issued battery for new transporter parts at a market on a distant planet.
Little do they know that a group of rogue traders are intent on getting their hands on something much bigger: the Protostar! Will the crew be able to defend their ship and stay out of trouble? Star Trek fans will love this brand-new, original story featuring all the heart, humor, and action of the Prodigy series.
A Dangerous Trade can be preordered today for $17.99 in hardcover, or for $6.99 in paperback or Kindle.
Cover art for the two Prodigy books has not yet been released, but we’ll be sure to bring you that imagery as soon as it’s been made public. Star Trek: Prodigy will return with the remaining 10 episodes of its debut season sometime in late 2022.
