Mostly, I admit that it's because her death is so quick and the fact it describes the series as her, Riker, and Picard versus the threat. That may be to hide the truth of the story but I think she's likely to remain a POV.
Spoilers Coda: Book 1: Moments Asunder by Dayton Ward Review Thread
- Thread starter Avro Arrow
- Start date
Ezri and Taurik experienced their apparent deaths in a different way from Konya, Balidemaj, Hegol etc. Ezri and Taurik are canon characters, the others who aged and disintegrated are litverse OCs. Any bets Ezri and Taurik were either abducted by the Devidians or saved by Q or the Prophets or someone instead of killed? This feels like a way to ensure canon characters who could still show up in Picard have apparent deaths that tug at our heartstrings, but are somehow still alive in whatever survives of this timeline to line up with the new on-screen continuity afterward.
Taurik appeared in the TNG ep "Lower Decks". The actor played both Taurik and Vorik, which prompted TrekLit to postulate that they're brothers.
I'd like to say that I kind of have a regret that the Coda villains are a canon one rather than a Trekverse one. I think it would have been better to have them be the Shedai (some or one have survived!) or maybe some evil Caliar that are seeking to undo their reconcilliation with the Borg or other weirdness. Mostly because I kind of wish they had enough room to make this a Horus Heresy-esque celebration of the Litverse.
Why would you want Raffi in this?
Ceritos would be cool but I’d rather see their LitVerse counterpart, the Excalibur have a cameo.
I admit they won't invite me to do Litverse because I'd portray her as a bubbly chipper Ensign just to maximize the contrast.
But now I'm going to be disappointed if we don't ever get a flashback to "When the Bough Breaks" and 10 year old Mariner complaining that they don't just knife the Aldeans to Wesley.
I was kinda hoping it would be the Gregari, who utterly wrecked the Alpha and Beta Quadrants in the Millennium trilogy. I always had a fondness for them.I'd like to say that I kind of have a regret that the Coda villains are a canon one rather than a Trekverse one.

They creeped the hell out of me in the Fallen video game.
I'd suggest we could finally get some use out of the Ascendants but I'm not sure there was a way to wrap up that plot.
I read it but you hit the name on the head - this is well written but really boring - the amount of exposition where people think about or explain previous books was way over the top - and absolutely nobody needs page after page about the crew of a time-ship we've never seen before.
I've also got a problem with Cable/Wesley - yes we are in a different era but turning him into a guy with a dusty leather jacket and a big gun is both boring and far less interesting than the original Traveller concept.
There are any number of possibilities, I suppose. Much depends on the specific conclusion to this event.
I would caution, though, that litverse origins may not keep characters originating there from appearing in Trek. The Brikar originated in the novelverse and a Brikar character is appearing in Prodigy. If they really wanted, I could see T'Ryssa Chen graduating to actual filmed Trek. She does seem to be among the most popular of the novelverse-original characters; there could well be a niche for her ...
Hello experts! I am trying to compile a list of those that "died". I say it that way because they could be used in other stories in the next 2 with time travel. Does anyone have a list?
Why couldn't the Dravidians be used by the Krenim?
Do we need terms like pre Coda Litverse vs Post Coda Litverse? Or maybe Prime Litverse after Coda is over, vs some parallel Litverse, which would be pre Coda?

You could start with these, off the top of my head:
Dax
T’ryssa
Headlong Flight Enterprise-D crew
Ducane and the Relativity crew
Future Wesley
Taurik
Elfinki
The Guardian
I’m sure that terminology will become a bit more obvious once we see the mechanism by which this all plays out.
Any questions you'd like me to ask Dayton tomorrow for our Literary Treks interview?
What he said. All bets are off.
Ranjea being alive: goof or clue?
