If you could base a new series of trek books on any one character..

Re: If you could base a new series of trek books on any one character.

A biography of Guinan probably would have to be a whole series.

Cervantes Quinn & Tim Pennington of course. Thrust together by circumstance for one last grand adventure...a mini-series tho...not an ongoing run.


That's two characters I know. But I felt they were at their best when playing off each other.

I don't know if I necessarily want a whole series, but I would love to see a biography of Guinan.

I hadn't even considered the idea of a biography type story for someone. Following the major events of their life in such a way. A Data biography is one that comes to mind. Tales of an Ensign Data, or a Data before entering the Academy would be really interesting to read.
Aren't there some young Data in the academy books? In the old Starfleet Academy series?

A USS Reliant series featuring Clark Terrell would be amazing--particularly with everything that's happened to the character in the Vanguard and Seekers series. I also enjoyed Christopher's depiction of Paul Winfield's character in his portion of the Mere Anarchy series.

Seekers is already on track? Are the Seeekrs books more episodic?

Luther Sloan

Although the "faked his death" angle has been used twice fairly recently so maybe not.

I'd love a series about Elias Vaughan and his myriad adventures as a member of Starfleet Intelligence :techman:

All the ones I can think of would be bordering into story ideas.... so I will say those gecko offspring that Janeway and Paris had....

Okay serious answer Archer the early years.

I thought that was what Cast No Shadow was.

I think a fun series would be one about the adventures of Q and Vash. Almost Doctor Who & Companion like.

That would be awesome. I'm kind of surprised we haven't gotten this story yet.

And now I regret not reading that.
It's basically Vaughn's First Big Adventure™ (or Second Big Adventure™, if you count DS9: Avatar, Book 1), where he crosses paths with several major TOS movie-era characters literally at the dawn of the 24th Century. Get thee to a bookstore immediately, sir.

As a big Vaughan fan, i'm blown away that you haven't. Vaughan deserved to be on that cover more than Spock did. Check it out :)

I didn't realize he was such an important character!

Really, I'm just not big on TOS books, but I'll definitely look for a copy of this. Thanks guys!
