Could The Next Star Trek TV Series Already Be Mapped Out?

USS Enterprise

For the first time in my lifetime, the primary association people make with Star Trek is not a TV show, but a movie. J.J. Abrams and his Star Trek reboot/reimagining/whatever have pulled off the once-impossible task of making Trek seem cool again, and six years after the last Trek TV series Star Trek: Enterprise went off the air, it's entirely up to Abrams and Paramount to keep showing us what's happening in the version of outer space explored by the Starship Enterprise.

Here is how they describe this new e-Book (beware of spoilers):

An original e-novella in the acclaimed Typhon Pact series! The Enterprise-E is on a diplomatic mission to the Talarian Republic, the last holdout in the Federation's efforts to expand the Khitomer Accords in response to the emergence of the Typhon Pact.

The Talarians have been a tenuous potential partner at best, given the history of conflict and mistrust between them and the Federation.
