Podcast appearances and mentions of Dayton Ward

Dayton Ward is a New York Times bestselling author or co-author of more than forty novels and novellas. His most recent Star Trek novel is Pliable Truths. Ward's essays and other writing have been featured at Tor.com, StarTrek.com, and Syfy.com Dayton Ward reflects on his decades-long love of Star Trek, what it means to be creative for a living and his decision to “take the leap” later in life to become a full-time professional writer, how Star Trek fandom has changed over the decades, and what his wishes are for Star Trek to become in the future. Chauncey DeVega journeys home for the New Year and Christmas holidays and has more adventures and challenges as the working-class child of an aging parent. Chauncey also reminds us that these are the good days before the imminent return of Donald Trump to the White House and how we must keep our hearts open to the amazing examples of humanity and inspiration in our neighborhoods and day-to-day lives. Those experiences are fuel for the hope tank that Americans of conscience and honor will need to survive, resist, and eventually overcome the horribleness of the next four years and beyond.

Fun ! Passion ! Singerie ! Nous sommes en juin 2024 et vous êtes bien sur le flux rss de Cornelius & Zira, le fanzine audio dédié en grande partie à l'univers de la Planète des Singes. Aujourd'hui, on teste un nouveau format puisque vous vous apprêtez à écouter l'épisode 0 de Ape City News. Ape City News - Ep#0 - Un Jeu de Rôle Planet of the Apes pour cet automne ! Ça fait un petit moment que j'ai envie de faire un format plus court pour relayer des informations concernant l'actualité de la saga Planet of the Apes ou pour mettre en avant du contenu intéressant que j'ai pu voir ou écouter à propos de notre franchise préférée, en tout cas la mienne. Donc aujourd'hui, on va parler d'une campagne de financement participatif lancée par Magnetic Press concernant un jeu de rôle Planète des Singes. Alors, pour être tout à fait transparent, on ne peut pas vraiment dire que je sois rôliste, donc je vais vous présenter le projet, mais je ne vais pas vraiment pouvoir me prononcer sur ce qui concerne les mécaniques de jeux. Par contre, le contenu en lui-même et les personnes qui ont travaillé dessus, ça, je peux en parler beaucoup mieux. Et pour continuer dans la transparence, je n'ai aucun lien avec Magnetic Press, l'éditeur du jeu, mais par contre, j'ai déjà participé à la campagne Kickstarter, qui s'achèvera le 13 juillet 2024. On peut d'ors et déjà annoncer que la campagne est un succès puisque les 14 K EUR nécessaires à la sortie du jeu ont été récoltés en un quart d'heure. Au moment où j'enregistre cet épisode, 1100 personnes ont soutenu le projet ce qui va permettre de récolter 175 K EUR. Donc si le projet vous intéresse et si vous pouvez vous le permettre financièrement, a priori, on est au moins sûr des voir le projet aller à son terme. D'autant plus que, c'est probablement important de le préciser, il s'agit d'un jeu officiel. J'entends par là que Magnetic Press a obtenu la licence Planet of the Apes auprès de Disney. Le projet a été approuvé en amont. Donc en participant dès maintenant, on est assuré de pouvoir tenir le jeu entre nos mains cet automne. Sur le site de Kickstarter, il est question de septembre ou octobre, en tout cas. J'ai conscience que cet épisode commence à ressembler à une réunion Tupperware, mais, comme je vous l'ai dit, au final, je n'ai rien à y gagner à vous faire de la retape pour ce JDR. Alors pourquoi est-ce que je suis si excité par la sortie future de ce jeu alors que je ne suis pas même rôliste ? Déjà parce que ça confirme ce que je disais suite au rachat de la Fox par Disney : peu importe si les futurs films seront bons ou mauvais, au moins, cela veut dire que la franchise va continuer d'exister et donc que l'univers étendu de Planet of the Apes va également continuer d'exister. Et surtout, ce qui provoque mon enthousiasme, ce sont les noms qui figurent sur ce projet ! En premier lieu, on va parler celui qui semble chapeauter le projet en temps que directeur de la création et de la narration, à savoir ANDREW GASKA dont j'ai déjà parlé à plusieurs reprises dans Cornelius & Zira, notamment parce qu'il a écrit les romans Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes et Death of the Planet of the Apes. Je vous renvoie à l'épisode 19 de Cornelius & Zira qui était consacré à ce roman. Je vous réexplique le concept : Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes se déroule pendant Planet of the Apes, le film de 1968, mais au lieu de suivre Taylor, on va suivre Landon. Dans Death of the Planet of the Apes, l'histoire se déroule en même temps que celle de Beneath the Planet of the Apes, mais cette fois-ci, au lieu de suivre Brent, on va suire Taylor. C'est à dire que dans les romans de Gaska, les personnages secondaires deviennent des personnages principaux et ce qui se passe à l'arrière-plan ou hors-champ passe soudain au premier plan. Le plus impressionnant étant que Gaska arrive à intégrer à ses histoires des éléments de l'univers étendu de la saga et qu'il parvient dans son récit à résoudre les problèmes de cohérence et de continuité entre la plupart des œuvres. C'est du très grand art ! Mais Drew Gaska n'est pas seulement l'un des plus éminents spécialistes de la franchise Planet of the Apes, il a également travaillé sur les jeux de rôles Alien et Terminator, donc, a priori, il sait parfaitement comment concevoir des jeux de rôles de franchise. Donc lorsque j'ai vu popper l'info qu'il travaillait sur un RPG Planet of the Apes, j'étais déjà convaincu, je le reconnais fort volontiers. Mais le nom de Drew Gaska n'est pas le seul qui m'est familier dans cette histoire ! RICH HANDLEY a également participé. Rich Handley est un spécialiste des mondes de l'imaginaire, notamment de Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek et évidemment La Planète des Singes, ce qui avait donné lieu à une interview au sujet de ces trois saga, en compagnie de Draven de GalactiFrak et de Rémi de Star Trek pour les Nuls que vous pouvez retrouver évidemment sur le flux rss de Cornelius & Zira. Rich Handley est également un nom très souvent cité dans ce podcast puisqu'il est l'auteur de Timeline et Lexicon of the Planet of the Apes, deux livres précieux pour quiconque travaille sur Planet of the Apes. Il a aussi codirigé Bright Eyes, Ape City, un livre qui revient sur les différentes œuvres de la saga et Sacred Scrolls: Comics on the Planet of the Apes, qui revient plus en détail sur les comics de la saga. Dayton Ward, qui fait aussi partie de ce projet de jeu de rôle a écrit des articles pour ces deux livres Rich Handley a également co-édité Tales from the Forbidden Zone, une anthologie de nouvelles se passant dans l'univers POTA en compagnie de JIM BEARD, que l'on retrouve également dans cette aventure. Et, oui, on a aussi déjà parlé de Tales from the Forbidden Zone dans l'épisode 22 de Cornelius & Zira Parmis les auteurs, on retrouve aussi GREG COX, à qui l'on doit la novélisation de War for the Planet of the Apes et DAVID F. WALKER qui a déjà travaillé sur plusieurs comics POTA et, encore oui, on en parlait déjà des deux dans de précédents épisodes de Cornelius & Zira - vous retrouverez tous les liens dans le notes de l'épisode (et logiquement, vous êtes en train de les lire, c'est méta !) Je vais en rester pour la liste des auteurs, même s'il y' en a d'autres encore. On va juste dire, comme ça, en passant, que les illustrations des couvertures des livres ont été confiées à BILL SIENKIEWICZ, ce qui parlera sûrement aux fans de comics qui écoutent cet épisode (ou qui lisent ces notes). Alors, justement, vu qu'on parle de livres, en quoi consiste ce jeu ? Je vais résumer ici ce qui est indiqué sur la page de la campagne sur le site de Kickstarter. Le jeu va permettre d'incarner un chimpanzé, un gorille ou un orang-outan, en prenant en considération les différences entre les espèces dans la saga classique. Donc si vous jouez un chimpanzé, a priori, vous êtes un scientifique, si vous incarnez un gorille, vous êtes un militaire, si vous choisissez d'être un orang-outan, vous avez grave la classe. Vous avez compris l'idée. Vous pouvez également être un astronaute perdu dans le temps ou bien un humain muet, voire même un mutant télépathe ! Certains détails donnés laissent comprendre que des éléments issus de la série animée ont été intégrés aux histoires, ce qui n'a rien d'étonnant quand on connaît bien le travail de Drew Gaska. Deux livres ont été rédigés : le livre de base et The ANSA Files. Le livre de base fait plus de 300 pages et contient différentes histoires ainsi que 24 archétypes de personnages (et aussi des illustrations qui ont l'air magnifiques). Parmi les personnages, on en découvrira des nouveaux, créés pour le jeu, mais aussi des personnages iconiques de la saga. Le deuxième livre, The ANSA Files fait également plus de 300 pages et contient des informations sur les 5 films de la saga classique, les comics et les novélisations. En plus, on peut également faire l'acquisition de cartes, de dés, de figurines en résine, bref, de quoi ravir les fans de Planet of the Apes qui peuvent se permettre de dépenser sans compter. Je ne vais pas aller plus loin dans les détails parce que je dois reconnaître que je ne suis ni familier des jeux de rôles, ni de ce type de campagne de financement participatif, donc je n'ai pas vraiment de références en la matière. Je sais qu'il y a des rôlistes dans l'auditoire de C&Z, donc je serai très curieux d'avoir vos retours, aussi bien via les réseaux sociaux que via les commentaires YT. Je dois aussi dire que je n'ai pas prêté autant de temps que je l'aurai voulu pour vous parler de ce jeux, pour des raisons personnelles mais aussi parce que le climat politique français actuel me préoccupe beaucoup et que je passe ces derniers jours plus de temps à écouter ou lire du contenu politique. Je ne voudrais d'ailleurs pas terminer cet épisode sans dire quelques mots à ce sujet. Ça ne me paraît pas incohérent avec La Planète des Singes parce que cette saga véhicule évidemment un message politique, en questionnant les rapports de domination, notamment et en critiquant le racisme, la peur de l'autre, le fanatisme, la paresse intellectuelle et l'obscurantisme. Si vous écoutez Cornelius & Zira, c'est que vous êtes francophones ou que vous avez une bonne maîtrise du français mais, après tout, vous n'habitez peut-être pas en France. Alors on va faire très court : des élections anticipées vont bientôt avoir lieu ici et le risque d'avoir un gouvernement d'extrême-droite en France est très grand. Je pense que je vais prêcher des convertis en disant qu'il faut voter pour faire en sorte que l'extrême-droite et ceux qui leur servent de marchepied ne passent pas. Ca me semble difficilement concevable qu'on puisse aimer La Planète des Singes et voter pour l'extrême-droite mais vu leurs récents scores, d'un point de vue purement statistique, ce n'est pas impossible. Si jamais c'est votre cas, je vous assure, vous êtes passé complètement à côté du message principal des œuvres de la saga Planet of the Apes. Mais il n'est jamais trop tard pour bien faire. Relisez le roman de Pierre Boulle, revoyez les films et votez pour le Nouveau Front Populaire ! Apes together strong ! Comme vous pouvez vous en douter, j'aurais vraiment beaucoup plus à dire sur le sujet, donc, sait-on jamais, peut-être dégainerai-je une série d'épisodes “Singes & Politique” si jamais ça intéresse des gens parmi vous :) C'est sur ces belles paroles que je vais vous laisser. Si vous avez écouté cet épisode en peignant des figurines, en faisant un jet de D10 ou en votant pour le Nouveau Front Populaire, vous étiez forcément dans le vrai ! D'ici au prochain épisode, portez vous bien, prenez soin de celles et ceux que vous aimez en votant du bon côté et à tobien les primates !!!

SPOILER ALERT It's the most epic Star Trek novel trilogy of all time! This week, we welcome our old friend, Dayton Ward, author of Star Trek: Coda Book 1: Moments Asunder. Starfleet and the Federation face possibly their gravest threat yet. We'll also discuss this trilogy concluding the novel continuity, and believe us there will be a lot of spoilers, so if you haven't read Moments Asunder yet, you're definitely going to want to! STARFLEET'S FINEST FACES A CHALLENGE UNLIKE ANY OTHER TOMORROW IS DOOMED Time is coming apart. Countless alternate and parallel realities are under attack, weakening and collapsing from relentless onslaught. If left unchecked, the universe faces an unstoppable descent toward entropy. WANDERER, ORACLE, ALLY Scarred and broken after decades spent tracking this escalating temporal disaster, while battling the nameless enemy responsible for it, an old friend seeks assistance from Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise. The apocalypse may originate from their future, but might the cause lie in their past? EVERYTHING THAT WILL BE Identifying their adversary is but the first step toward defeating them, but early triumphs come with dreadful costs. What will the price be to achieve final victory, and how will that success be measured in futures as yet undefined?

Positively Trek 152: Book Club: Moments Asunder with Special Guest Dayton Ward!“Wil Wheaton, Temporal Badass” The Temporal Apocalypse begins! For 20 years, the “novelverse” has presented us with a unique opportunity to grow the Star Trek universe outside the films and television that make up “canon,” with authors given unprecedented freedom to take the stories of the TNG era in new and exciting directions. After all, there was no way that televised Trek would ever return to the 24th century… right? Well, all of that changed with Star Trek: Picard, which meant that in order to line up with canon, the novelverse would have to be fixed. That fix comes in three parts, with the Star Trek: Coda trilogy by authors Dayton Ward, James Swallow, and David Mack. In this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Bruce sit down with Dayton Ward to discuss Moments Asunder, the first book of the Coda trilogy. We talk about a story 20 years in the making, Dayton's collaborators, Wesley Crusher, the big baddies of the novel, shocking story moments, swinging for the fences, and wrap up with our final thoughts and where Dayton can be found online and what he's working on next.

Dayton Ward: Moments Asunder. It affectionately became known as the Lit-Verse to Star Trek fans, beginning in 2003, with the release of the first novel to take place after the finale of Deep Space Nine in a book called Avatar. After the end of Enterprise, the universe in the novels would continue to expand with unprecedented freedom to explore the characters lives past the finales of each of the shows and now that Star Trek: Picard has begun, it's time for this iteration of the universe to find its way into continuity. In this episode of Literary Treks host Matthew Rushing is joined by author Dayton Ward to talk about his first book in the Star Trek: Coda series, Moments Asunder. We discuss, the end being near, batting order, collaboration, setting it all up, the villains, complete consumption, loose ends, Wesley, Picard's lineage, who's happy, who lives/who dies, early plans, open doors, how Dayton is feeling, where to find him online and our final thoughts. In the news section Bruce Gibson joins Matthew to discuss the zero issue of Mirror War as well as the finale to Year Five.

This week on Episode 526 of Priority One:  the Next Generation of tours is in full swing at Ticonderoga, set photos from Picard Season 3, Star Trek Online gets spoOoOoOoky in their first Halloween special, and we review the latest episode of Lower Decks: "wej Duj"! TREK IT OUT Edited by Thomas Reynolds Touring the Next Generation in Ticonderoga By Elio Lleo Over the years, we've had the privilege of attending some phenomenal Star Trek themed events and exhibits [or seething with jealousy at it–Ed.], but few are as spectacular as what you'll find in the sleepy town of Ticonderoga, New York. You see, James Cawley–who grew to fame as an Elvis impersonator–is also a die-hard Trekkie. His passion was so great that he decided to rebuild the sets for The Original Series where an old retail store used to be. He didn't just want to build the Enterprise…he wanted to recreate the old Desilu Set. Closest we'll probably come to having a religious experience. Image: Star Trek Set Tours. Now, after 4 years of being open to the public, Cawley is expanding! As they work to acquire an adjacent building, Cawley and his team have begun diligently recreating the sets from The Next Generation. Local news station WCAX got a sneak peak of their progress: when speaking to reporter Cat Viglienzoni, Cawley explains he has all the original blueprints as well as a direct line to Star Trek's legendary creators Mike and Denise Okuda. Star Trek: Picard Producer's Sweet Sneak Peek Pics By Cat Hough If you've been following Star Trek: Picard executive producer and co-showrunner, Terry Matalas on Twitter, then you've seen the images he's been sharing from the set of the show. If you are not following him, then you may want to. Since Season 2 has wrapped filming, the images he posted are likely sneak peaks from season three–either way, they are definitely interesting.  https://twitter.com/TerryMatalas/status/1442660363573465090?s=20 The images are all from what appears to be a Starfleet vessel from the late 24th century: the first image features the helm console for the ship, with Matalas noting the LCARS interface introduced on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also of particular interest: the replicator display and table setting that includes a 24th-century Starfleet emblem and some new sci-fi cutlery. We still don't know what the second season holds, but we have been told that the Q storyline will wrap up in Season 2. It's also very likely that Jonathan Frakes will return to direct some episodes of Season 3.  https://twitter.com/TerryMatalas/status/1445033217875070977?s=20 Episodic Season Habit (It Becomes Automatic) By Cat Hough Anson Mount recently spoke about Strange New Worlds, echoing Akiva Goldsman's description of the show: “we wanted our show to be more or less a throwback in every way we could... which meant more of an episodic structure. And so every episode is a distinct story...but the star of the show is the ship and the big idea of the week.” Bridge to Astrocartography, figure out why we keep getting lost in those eyes. Image: TrekMovie.com As we've also discussed on prior episodes, filming for Strange New Worlds was done using Augmented Reality and Mount also spoke about that experience, saying, “It's wild, man. Imagine an entire soundstage where the walls are all high-definition screens and there's a ceiling projection...it's really interesting to be in these environments because it's a whole other level of filmmaking than I've ever seen before.”  A release date for Strange New Worlds has not been announced, yet. A big thanks to TrekMovie for sharing this exclusive interview from their coverage of Star Trek Day. Quick News Roundup Here are a few headlines that we didn't discuss but might interest you. In book news, the first novel in the Star Trek: Coda series has been released. This trilogy continues the adventures of characters from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. The three books in the trilogy are Moments Asunder by Dayton Ward, The Ashes of Tomorrow by James Swallow, and Oblivion's Gate by David Mack. Moments Asunder is already available, with the two sequels following in October and November. The pre-order pages include synopses for the books, revealing a plot dealing in time travel. Plus, we got another glimpse at the upcoming Prodigy animated series. Nickelodeon recently tweeted a new trailer with the announcement that the show premieres on October 28. Finally, are you ready to take flight on a midlife crisis of cosmic proportions? Then you should definitely trek out the series idea from the creators of Saturday Night Live. This new show would be titled “Star Trek: Ego Quest,” following the voyages of the SS New Shepard and its crew of random weirdos. Its mission: to just...sort of fly around space goofing off in a ship that looks like a penis. https://youtu.be/XD66suMp3J4 STAR TREK GAMING NEWS Edited by Thomas Reynolds By the Spiking of My DPS, Something Wicked This Way Leaps By Rosco McQueen Replicate yourself a pumpkin spice raktajino and prepare to carve out a new experience in Star Trek Online:  the MMO announced this week it will hold its first ever Halloween event!   “Captains will find themselves transported to an ancient castle on Pyris VII. The classic aliens from the Original Series episode ‘Catspaw', the Old Ones, have returned once again to study humanity–but their plans have been disrupted by the Devidians!” Honestly the idea of redoing "Knowledge is Power" is scarier. Image: Cryptic Studios. The three week event will be a single activity, where playing the event TFO “Cat's Tale!” every 20 hours rewards you with the usual one daily progress token. After 14 days of progress you unlock the event rewards: the Transmuter Wand Universal Kit Module, the Old One Vanity Pet, with the first character receiving 25,000 Dilithium Ore, and 3 Featured Episode Reward Boxes. The Universal Kit Module - Transmuter Wand will transform your target into a sentient black cat, complete with Bad Luck Aura! The aura disables shields and most powers to nearby allies, who will flee in fear from the frightful feline.   What every kid wants this Halloween, a subspace bubble wand. Image: Cryptic Studios. The event will be available on all platforms on October 13. An interesting note is that this will become a regular annual event, similar to First Contact Day. The article notes it begins with the one TFO, with plans to grow the event year-on-year with more content.
