Yay! Maybe it's not Trek, but it'll hopefully be as close as we'll get to onscreen Trek by Peter David.
Excellent!
Please fill in a poor underinformed transatlantic. What's Starpoint Academy? Though I'm a fan of David's writing, too. I'll bet you 500 imaginary pounds that it'll feature a love triangle, and maybe some sex-crazed Vulcans (or equivalent).
Follow the link, Thande.
Starpoint Academy? Do cadets learn how to "DYBO" and that they're "Sensational"? Do graduates become officers in that particular disco rock group?

An update from the most recent FAQ thread on Peter David's blog:
Corey Tacker: What’s the status of Starpoint Academy?
Peter David: You mean the books? I haven’t the slightest idea.
Corey Tacker: No, I meant the CGI animated film announced almost 2 years ago for which you were writing the screenplay, from IDT Entertainment and Clifford Meth.
Peter David: Ohhhh. Well, basically it progressed exactly as I thought it would. When I first hooked up with it, I wanted to meet with the director. They told me there wasn’t one yet; they wanted the script first. And I thought, “Great. I’m going to work on this script, and when it’s finally done, they’re going to hire a director who’s going to throw out everything I did and bring in someone he’s worked with before.” Which is exactly what happened. Last I heard, he had his own guy who turned in his own script which the execs hated. So I’ve no idea where it stands.
