Electricity is crackling in the sci-fi ether as anticipation mounts for the premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, coming to Paramount Plus on May 5.
The Star Trek: Discovery spinoff is a return to the format of the original Star Trek series from the 1960s.
The new space opera series will receive its first tie-in novel next year from New York Times bestselling author John Jackson Miller.
In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - The High Country, the crew of the Enterprise are marooned on a planet where their advanced technology becomes useless.

Miller, a seasoned Trek novelist, penned Star Trek: Picard: Rogue Elements and Star Trek: Discovery: Die Standing.
Miller told Space.com that he wanted to tell a story that offered Captain Pike and his companions a real challenge. They are completely immersed in the mystery of this place, and my goal is that readers of The High Country will be as well.
Gallery Press has an official synopsis.
When an experimental shuttlecraft fails, Captain Christopher Pike suspects a mechanical malfunction, only to discover the very principles of which Starfleet bases its technology have stopped functioning. He and his crewmates are forced to abandon ship in a dangerous maneuver that scatters their party across the strangest new world they have ever encountered.
First Officer Una finds herself fighting to survive in an untamed wilderness where dangers are at every turn. Things are not as they seem in a volcanic wasteland for a young cadet. Science Officer Spock is missing. The chance to fulfill a childhood dream of living the life of a cowboy in a world where the tools of the 23rd century are of no use is given to Pike.
Even in the saddle, Pike is still a starship captain with all the responsibilities that entails. Setting out to find his crewmates, he encounters a surprising face from his past and discovers that one person's utopia might be someone else's purgatory. He must either lead an exodus or risk a calamity of galactic proportions.
The tie-in novel, The High Country, will arrive on Feb. 21, 2023, with the premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on Paramount Plus on May 5.
