One of my favorite short-lived characters is the Ferengi who was in The Left Hand of Destiny books. I really enjoyed him being less like a typic Ferengi and more like a person who cares about others.

Yeah, he was a really fun character.

Spoiler: His destiny

I'm really sad that they killed him off because I would have loved to have seen him come back. Although, I guess there is always the possibility of flashbacks.

I just wish I could remember his name.

People,

Well, I'm pretty out of touch with many of the newer novels, but there's two characters I liked, one which -- to my knowledge -- has only appeared once:

-Commander Quentin Stone, from "A Rock And A Hard Place," temporarily replaces Commander Riker as first officer and is highly unpredictable.

-Lieutenant Commander Mandala Flynn, from "The Entropy Effect," was the female security chief who was a border patrol officer, promoted from the enlisted ranks, and highly volatile but competent. She also became Sulu's lover.

(Check out the "New Frontier" short story, "Performance Appraisal" in "No Limits".)

Many people believe the character inspired the origin of Mackenzie Calhoun. He was also similar to a comics character Peter David inherited - William Bearclaw - when he took over DC's first TOS movie-era comic.

Lieutenant Commander Mandala Flynn, from "The Entropy Effect," was the female security chief who was a border patrol officer, promoted from the enlisted ranks, and highly volatile but competent. She also became Sulu's lover.

She makes cameos, or is referenced, in things like the McIntyre ST II and ST III movie novelizations, IIRC. "Flynn had been promoted to Captain and was given command of the USS Magellanic Clouds..." (from Memory Beta). Great character, though.

Min Zife

Didn't he appear in DS9? Or was it just a name drop? Been a while since I've watched that.

 

[David Mack]

^ Nope, I created Min Zife in 2003 for A Time to Kill and A Time to Heal, and Bob Greenberger retroactively added him to his books, A Time to Love and A Time to Hate.

 

[greenmystik]

Calhoun
Vaughn
Kebron
Janos
Taran'atar (probably misspelled that)
Fabian Stevens
...and more, just can't remember them right now

^ Nope, I created Min Zife in 2003 for A Time to Kill and A Time to Heal, and Bob Greenberger retroactively added him to his books, A Time to Love and A Time to Hate.

Bob added references to him -- and his chief of staff, Koll Azernal, appeared at the end of Hate -- but Zife's first actual appearance was in Kill.

Well, actually, thanks to a pecularity of scheduling, Zife appeared in three books that were released in August 2004: A Time to Kill, the short story "Eleven Hours Out" by Dave Galanter in Tales of the Dominion War, and Vulcan's Soul Book 1: Exodus by Josepha Sherman & Susan Shwartz.

Since then, he's also appeared or been mentioned in (at least) A Time for War, a Time for Peace by Keith R.A. DeCandido, Trill: Unjoined by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin in Worlds of DS9 Volume 2, Vulcan's Soul Book 3: Epiphany by Sherman & Shwartz, DS9: Hollow Men by Una McCormack, SCE: The Future Begins by Steve Mollmann & Michael Schuster, Articles of the Federation by DeCandido, and the final three installments of the TNG: Slings and Arrows miniseries, That Sleep of Death by Terri Osborne, A Weary Life by Robert Greenberger, and Enterprises of Great Pitch and Moment by DeCandido.
