The rapidly approaching second season of Discovery will re - introduce us to the U.S.S. Enterprise , before Jim Kirk ever sat in its Captain ’s death chair and boldly pack it on its five year mission . But later this yr , a new novel will show us what the ship was actually up to at the height of the Klingon War that give away out in Discovery season one .
Star Trek and Star Wars novelist John Jackson Miller reassert on Twitter recently last night that he will write The Enterprise War , the next Discovery novel set for release on July 30 . As the name suggests , the novel will watch the crew of the spaceship Enterprise — featuring Captain Pike , Spock , and Number One , as they appear in Discovery ’s soph season — as they wrangle with the breakout of warfare between the Federation and the Klingon Empire .

It would be captivating to see how the nightmare of the warfare took its price on Spock , Pike , and the crew — specially as Anson Mount , who plays Pike in Discovery ’s 2d season , has noted that the idealistic Captain ’s firm opinion in the nonsuch of Starfleet make himan interesting foilto the wear , war - damage assholery of time of year one ’s Captain Lorca . But do n’t get too excited to see Pike ’s Enterprise go into struggle with the Klingon ’s ok . Anewly released synopsisfor The Enterprise War seems to incriminate that what the Enterprise was really up to during the state of war was … being deposit in an altogether unrelated war ?
Hearing of the eruption of hostility between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire , Captain Christopher Pike attempts to fetch the U.S.S. Enterprise home to join in the fight . But in the diabolical nebula know as the Pergamum , the stout commandant or else finds an epic battle of his own , pitting ancient foe against one another — with not just the Enterprise , but her crew as the spoils of state of war .
Lost and out of contact with Earth for an intact year , Pike and his confide first officer , Number One , fight to find and reunify the ship ’s crew — all while Science Officer Spock face a whodunit that puts even his olympian skills to the trial run … with more than their own survival perhaps ride on the outcome … .
Interstellar war ’s like a bus , apparently . You spend ages waiting for one , and then two come along at once !
It ’s perceivable to keep the Enterprise out of the moral murkiness of Discovery ’s first time of year — you get to avoid any of that filth tarnish the squeaky - clean embodiment of Trek ’s pioneering , idealistic spirit . But it ’s still a fleck of a bummer to not have a man like Pike really be challenged by the moral quandary of the Federation at warfare through the excuse of “ well , see , there was this other state of war between other people and they got caught up in that for a yr ! ” We ’ll have to wait until The Enterprise War releases this July to find out more .
