[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'll do it on Monday! (I'll type it in, not scan it - it's divided on a lot of small softcover pages, after all.) The timeline basically only gives the year (and SD and/or month, when applicable) when the book is supposed to take place, and on smaller font the years when the flashbacks or flash-forwards within the novel take place. It also includes the aired episodes and movies as reference points. It does NOT provide any sort of cross-referencing of novel events. Which is IMHO a good thing. That way lies madness - or Dixon, if one wants to distinguish. The Duane stuff is divided so that "The Wounded Sky" and "My Enemy, My Ally" are somewhere in the final weeks of the five-year mission (although IMHO they could take place even after TMP). "The Romulan Way" and the two newer books follow in the mid-to-late 2270s, based on internal references to how much time has passed since the first two books. The reader is supposed to ignore any incompatible references to Kirk's or others' rank (and to Sternbach's timeline on the Constellation class - Duane introduces it in the seventies already). Duane's original intention that much of this stuff take place before Kirk gets flag rank is completely forgotten, since it would mean placing TMP in the VERY late 2270s or even the early 2280s. Which isn't all that bad an idea IMHO, but requires a lot of work, and is incompatible with the preponderance of other novels. ...All in all, it seems that Duane's disclaimer about the noncanonicity of her Rihannsu books is well deserved, when not even this fine team can figure out a consistent place for the books!
