Best Book for a Specific Character

[E-DUB]

Pretty much self-explanatory. Name an ST character, then a novel that, in your opinion, best showcases that character. Here we go: Leonard McCoy, "Crucible 1-Provenance of Shadows".

“Doctor’s Orders” Dr. McCoy

 

[Greg Cox]

I haven't read THE ENTERPRISE WAR yet, but prior to DISCO, the definitive Pike novel was probably BURNING DREAMS by Margaret Wander Bonanno.

Can anyone name good books featuring Beverly and LaForge as main characters? Also many things from Sisko's past remain still mysterious....

 

[Daddy Todd]

Q-In-Law - Lwaxana Troi

 

[JD]

Metamorphosis - Data

I haven't read Metamorphosis, so for me the definitive Data novel is Immortal Coil.

Q2 - Q

I think you've got your titles mixed up, Q2 is the Voyager episode with Q's son. Do you mean Q-Squared?

Can't think of anything focusing squarely on Beverly, but we do have Indistinguishable from Magic for Geordi.

Brinkmanship and The Missing both feature Crusher more heavily than the average Trek novel.

Indeed, I mixed up the titles, I meant Q-Squared....

I didn't like IFM, but for Geordi we have the Genesis Wave books.....

I actually had a friend ask me for the best book for Beverly last night. My recommendation was QSquared.

I remember nice scenes involving Beverly in Dragon's Honor....

Death in Winter is the novel per excellence featuring Beverly! I just forgot it....

 

[JD]

I've still never read Death in Winter, when it came out the overall reaction here seemed to be "meh", and I wasn't at a point where I read every TNG relaunch book like I do now. I have thought about going back and reading it, and Resistance, which I also skipped due to the reaction on here.

 

[Starbreaker]

Riker/Deanna - Imzadi
Beverly Crusher - Q-Squared
Data - Immortal Coil
Picard - The Buried Age

 

[tomswift2002]

Loyalties- Beverly Howard

Capture The Flag- Geordi LaForge

Sarek - Sarek

Chrysalis - Tuvok

The Captain’s Daughter- Hikaru Sulu

 

[Paris]

The first 2 Voyager relaunch books by Kirsten Beyer, Full Circle and Unworthy, turn Chakotay into the character we always wanted him to be.

 

[KRAD]

Saavik: The Pandora Principle
Garak: Hollow Men
Spock: The Entropy Effect

 

[tomswift2002]

Just saw “Whom Gods Destroy” on SPACE last night and it had Captain/Lord Garth in it.

And there was the “Garth of Izaar” book.

 

[E-DUB]

I've heard that if Steve Ihnat hadn't passed away that Garth might have been the baddie in ST2 rather than Khan.

I'm glad they didn't go that route. Garth was cured at the end of the episode. Granted, treating mental illness as something that can be easily cured is really simplistic, but at least it's more optimistic and positive than the tendency of fiction to treat it as something that dooms a person to perpetual relapses into villainy.

 

[tomswift2002]

I never did enjoy the Garth episode. I only watched some of it the other night because I was flipping through channels and there was nothing else on.
