Bringing back an old game - Name the TrekLit Quote

[Turtletrekker]

Nope.

 

[Defcon]

Excalibur: Restoration?

 

[BrotherBenny]

Hmm... Once Burned?

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

If that's the NF Captain's Table one then I think you're right. It's either that or the NF Double Helix one, cos they're the only two I haven't read.

Nope again. Here's a hint: the "Mac" in the quote is not Mackenzie Calhoun.

 

[JD]

Hmmm, so it's most likely earlier than Being Human, in that case. Random guess: Fire on High.

 

[William Leisner]

Here's a hint: the "Mac" in the quote is not Mackenzie Calhoun.

I thought that would have been a little obvious...

 

[Dancing Doctor]

*Is* it from a NF novel?

ETA: NM.

The Devil's Heart?

 

[DarkHorizon]

That's from Line of Fire, the old Peter David Starfleet Academy novel.

 

[Turtletrekker]

^Bingo. "Mac" being Mark McHenry, who for some odd reason stopped going by the name by the time of New Frontier.

 

[DarkHorizon]

Yay, got one!

OK, here goes...

Gul Marak leaned forward toward the screen with his white-knuckled hands clenched over the edge of his desk. "Now you're showing your true colors, aren't you, Sisko? Bajoran-lover! You and your Bajoran friends are openly haboring a known traitor to the Cardassian state. A man who's committed the most despicable crimes: murder, mutiny, sabotage. Berat is running free on your station and you arrest my military police, who were only following legitimate orders to apprehend this criminal!"

I will be offline shortly, though...

 

[Dancing Doctor]

Betrayal?

 

[DarkHorizon]

Got it in one.

I'll try a harder one next time...

 

[Dancing Doctor]

Sorry...

The reason why I remembered it is because I had seen Rapture a few days before finding the book in my local library, and liking some of what I thought of as similarities, about...a year or so ago. The names Berat and Marak clicked, and voilà

 

[DarkHorizon]

Ah, s'alright. Means I can go to bed now.

 

[Dancing Doctor]

All right, I've got one.

A truism had floated around the Enterprise for some time, having originated in holodeck simulations: Never shoot Worf. Never even try. You'll just make him angry.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Other than an absolute certainty that I've read the book that the quote is from, I got nuthin.

ETA: The Death of Princes? Nah, too obvious.

 

[Dancing Doctor]

No, it's not from The Death of Princes.

It's from a relatively recent book, and one that has caused me much pain in reading.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Resistance?

 

[Dancing Doctor]

That's a negative...

 

[MarianLH]

It's from a relatively recent book, and one that has caused me much pain in reading.

I recall you ranting about Before Dishonor. If this is a sample of it, I can see why.
