The Ashes of Tomorrow
by James Swallow
2021
The Coda trilogy continues as temporal catastrophe threatens the Star Trek novelverse and trusted friends find themselves on opposing sides. Read it as the middle chapter of a large continuity finale.
Series background & context
Star Trek: Coda is a three-book event that brings long-running Star Trek novel continuity to a close. It is not meant as a casual first step. It pulls in characters, consequences, and alternate paths from years of connected books.
James Swallow wrote the middle volume, The Ashes of Tomorrow. The trilogy deals with a temporal catastrophe and forces familiar crews into choices that threaten friendships, histories, and whole timelines.
Read some wider post-Next Generation novel continuity first if you can. If you jump in cold, you can follow the danger, but the emotional weight lands harder when you know what this continuity has built.
