Sequels

Additional volumes were planned, but they were never realized. Some time after The New Voyages 2 was released, the license for Star Trek tie-in fiction was awarded to Pocket Books. From 1981 onward, Pocket released a new line of books based on Star Trek, and did not continue any of the lines created by Bantam, including The New Voyages series.

Pocket Books restarted professional publication of fan-written stories based in 1998, Strange New Worlds series edited by Dean Wesley Smith.
