[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Diane Carey obviously paid careful attention to the fan material when writing her early books. Her timeline is clearly based on FASA dates, and so is her technology ("internally metered pulse" engines, cochrane factors etc). Carey has been interviewed many times - [URL=http://www.psiphi.org]www.psiphi.org[/URL] ought to have plenty of links to the interviews. Carey underwent a great "conversion" in the novel "Challenger", part of the "New Earth" series. She had already acknowledged Okuda dates for the first book of that series, "Wagon Train to the Stars", but in "Challenger", she quite deliberately began quoting whole chapters from the TNG Tech Manual (the best use of that technobabble I've witnessed so far). It was a rather hilarious experience, actually. This does not mean that Carey would now be a strict canon-follower - quite to the contrary. She once stated that she deliberately used non-established ship types (let alone names) in "Wagon Train" to emphasize her view that in a realistic (space) navy setup, there are a great many ship designations, far more of them than indicated in canon Trek. I have no reason to assume she would treat the "WYLB" novelization any different - nor the "Broken Bow" novelization she's doing just now. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
