Future Imperfect by L.A. Graf (The Janus Gate Trilogy, Book 2)

The Drake rides the bow wave of an explosion over Tesseract Fortress.
(Hm, this is a scene worth revisiting later, with more detail and accuracy.)

So there's this scene with altChekov and Sulu...

As quickly as they had moved, it still hadn't been quick enough. They landed in the midst of a circle of weapons, and behind each gleaming metallic barrel was a lean, angular face taking aim with unemotional efficiency. Sulu felt a disorienting wave of disbelief--it was like facing an execution squad of multiple Spocks--but he drew himself up and made his expression as austere as he could, to match theirs. After one swift glance around to make sure there weren't any Gorn or Klingon supervisors in sight, Chekov did the same.

 ...And that picture--of a solemn-faced Sulu standing up against a crowd of well-armed Romulans--interested me. But as I was trying to figure out the positions of the Romulans, it dawned on me: I stink at crowd scenes. Cringe. Didn't even bother trying out different poses/angles/etc for this one.











   Sulu & altChekov flying a Gorn shuttle with another shuttle's warp core on board. Okay, this may be one of those that reeeally needs context to make sense.

Present Tense by L.A. Graf (The Janus Gate Trilogy, Book 1)

"What's the deal?" the geologist asked, glancing back and forth between them as if their silence had alarmed him. "What the heck did you guys see?" 

   "A human shape," Uhura said, trying to keep her voice calm and unshaken. "The lights were outlining it, as if it was just starting to appear." McCoy was already scrambling down the rubble pile, and she snapped her own helmet alight, then levered herself out from between her boulders to follow him. "The problem is, it's appearing right in the middle of that rock column."

Dr. McCoy, Lt. Uhura, and geologist Zap Sanner return to the healing chamber to look for Lt. Sulu. Sketched in pencil, tone & color added digitally.

      Bonus sketch of two Lt. Sulus (George Takei, John Cho). Funny thing is, I couldn't make up my mind while reading this trilogy whether to picture Sulu as George Takei or as John Cho. All the others I easily pictured as the original cast. I think I eventually decided Captain Sulu would look more like George Takei, and Lt. Sulu more like John Cho.
