  Star Trek - Vulcan's Soul: Exiles The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Web Site
Meanwhile, in the distant past — in the time of Surak a pivotal era in the history of Vulcan when the race was at the brink of total self-annihilation — we follow the exiles of Vulcan, the ships who departed the ravaged Vulcan to give a chance for a future elsewhere.
Their departure was not as smooth as hoped, and in the confusion of the moment their contingent now comprises a mix of Surak's followers (disciples of logic), still emotional Vulcans determined to make a clean start, and a final group of people opposed to the plans of exile.
Certainly the sections in the distant past of Vulcan's history are interesting — after years of watching emotionally-repressed Vulcans practising their logic on the various Trek shows it makes a pleasant change to meet these passionate characters.

  Vulcan's Soul - Non-canon Star Trek Wiki
Vulcan's Soul was trilogy written by Josepha Sherman and Susan Shwartz, as a follow up to Vulcan's Forge and Vulcan's Heart which chart Spock's adventures in the 24th century.
Unknown to the defenders, the secret behind the Watraii's attack is buried in Vulcan's violent ancient past, during the time of Surak himself, when the proto-Romulans -- staunch opponents of Surak's reforms -- were compelled to take their chances among the cold and distant stars.
With Surak's blessing, a group of Vulcans left their turbulent homeworld to find their destiny among the stars -- but the stars prove themselves even more unforgiving than the sands of Vulcan's deserts, as Karatek, the reluctant leader of the exiles, must struggle to hold the community together.

 Star Trek
With the premiere of Star Trek on NBC in September 1966, few could have imagined that this ambitious yet often uneven science-fiction series would go on to become one of the most actively celebrated and financially lucrative narrative franchises in television history.
NBC threatened to cancel Star Trek after its second season, but persuaded in some degree by a large letter-writing campaign by fans to save the show, the network picked up the series for a third and final year.
Star Trek: The Next Generation greatly expanded the potential for such creative elaboration by presenting a more complex storyworld, one that actively encouraged the audience to think of the series as a foundation for imagining a larger textual universe.

 The Trades - Book Review: Star Trek, Vulcan's Soul Book 1: Exodus
In the new novel, “Star Trek, Vulcan's Soul, Book 1: Exodus,” by Josepha Sherman and Susan Schwartz, we are introduced to the beginning of that tale, as this is but part one in a series.
We begin to see just how it was he managed to convince Vulcans of the necessity for the suppression of emotions and how pure logic would help them overcome the centuries of warfare that had plagued the Vulcans throughout their history.
It is definitely recommended reading for Star Trek fans, but I found the book to be a bit slow in narrative style, lacking a certain quickness of pace that could bring excitement to a reader and lead one to eagerly look forward to turning the next page.

 BOLDLY GONE: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Shiny Shelf
Jerry Goldsmith's theme for the movie, which opened every single episode of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and two of the subsequent Trek films, was written after the rest of the score was completed and at Wise's instruction.
Despite itself 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' took a colossal amount of money at the box-office, the fans loyally returning to see it again and again despite their misgivings, desperate for another glimpse of their idols in the first new 'Trek' for ten years.
The 'Star Trek' features films that followed in the subsequent decade would have far more in common with each other than with the first, and so regarded as both an oddity and somehow unfinished it languished unloved.

 Enterprise (Star Trek)
The father of Vulcan philosphy is Surak, who helped lead the Vulcan people out of a time of destruction and violence into their new era of peace.
Further it appears to me that for nearly all Star Trek stories, Vulcans can be seen as individuals who strive to emulate the INTP archetype without understanding or accepting the archetypes' incomplete nature.
The Star Trek writers on the other hand seem to have always recognized this imbalance and have used it in a great number of stories that involve Vulcans.

 Chronology Of Written Star Trek Fiction
Star Trek Chronology as a primary reference for so many books now, I'm beginning to grudgingly accept that the older fiction must now be retconned to match the chronology of the new, and not vice-versa.
Star Trek Chronology are given overwhelming preference in the Pocket Timeline, even in circumstances where the dates given in the novels themselves ultimately make more sense.
Star Trek Chronology further complicates matters, as future authors will be obliged to conform to it despite the numerous contradictions with currently published novels.

 Planet Quest: News Article
Vulcan is thought to orbit that dwarf star, called 40 Eridani A. When pondering the idea that SIM might be able to detect Vulcan, astronomer Dr. Angelle Tanner at Caltech had two questions: Can a planet form around 40 Eridani A? Can SIM detect such a planet?
If Vulcan life were to exist on the planet, the orbit of the planet would have to lie in a sweet spot around the star where liquid water could be present on its surface.
"A K dwarf star emits its light at wavelengths which are a bit redder compared to those from the sun, so I wonder whether it's harder to get a tan there," she said.

The setting is thirty-three years after the events of Vulcan's Heart, one year after the end of the Dominion War, when the Romulan Empire is suddenly and viciously attacked by a mysterious race called the Watraii who claim that Romulus and Remus are their native homeworlds.
The secret behind the Watraii's attack is buried in Vulcan's ancient past during a time of such violent conflict that some felt compelled to take to the stars to preserve their heritage and it is up to Spock and his allies to unravel the mystery before any further conflict breaks out.
The ending of Vulcan's Heart saw them married at last and it quickly becomes evident in Exodus that while they may have continued to pursue their individual careers, their bond is as strong as ever.
