For Curiousity's Sake: Any Kes-centric books?

As the title states: Any books that focused on Kes...? (My favorite VOY character--especially when 'possessed'...i.e. episode 'Warlord')...

There are two great books in which Kes plays a very important role: "Marooned" by Christie Golden where Kes actually is the main character and "The Black Shore" by Greg Cox (my favorite Voyager book) where Kes plays an important role as well.

Please visit my seasons 1-3 Voyager books reviews at: http://lynx677.110mb.com/bookreviews.html

and then we have the "Kes Relaunch" at: http://lynx677.110mb.com/Kesstories.html :)

There's a pretty strong Kes focus in my Places of Exile in Myriad Universes: Infinity's Prism, and in String Theory Book 3: Evolution by Heather Jarman. Both are full-ensemble pieces, but Kes has a prominent role in both.
 
She plays a fair role in the MU novella The Mirror-Scaled Serpent, by KRAD, which appears in the Obsidian Alliances collection. But that's the mirror-Kes, not the "real" Kes.
 
If you're including the MU version, Bitter Fruit, the MUVGR story in Shards and Shadows, focuses on Kes and B'Ellana.

Glad you liked THE BLACK SHORE. I admit I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that one . . . .
 
There's also a couple short stories in Distant Shores that deal with Kes. One even deals with the aftermath of Warlord. I don't have the book with me right now, so I'm not sure of the titles off-hand, though.

Well, I just have to state one more time that "The Black Shore" is my favorite Star Trek book. :techman:

Not only because of Kes having an important role, in fact all the main characters got their fair share of action but for the story itself. Incredible exciting, somewhat spooky too and with villains which makes the Borg look like a bunch of well-behaved schoolkids.

I remember reading the book from start to end on a Saturday afternoon in the spring of 1998, only taking a short break to make coffee. It was so exciting that I couldn't stop reading!

And as I wrote in my book reviews, "I'll give it 5 points out of 5"! :bolian:
 
In "Places of Exile", a story in "Infinity's Prism", she plays a pretty big role too. That's an alternate timeline though.
 
As I've said before "The adventures aren't over for Our Favorite Ocampa!" :bolian:

Subject-verb agreement: not just a good idea, it's the law.

You're right! Sloppy writing from me.

And no, I'm not gonna come up with something about English not being my native language. After all those years with writing English I shouldn't make such mistakes.

But as you can see here: http://lynx677.110mb.com/Kesstories.html , my original comment was more grammatically correct. :bolian:

Don't worry about it, Lynx....

We're all just having fun here; and I do appreciate the recommendations...:techman:

On the other hand, I still prefer this description though:

"The adventures are not over for our sexy, cute, elfish Ocampa!" :lol:

(Especially after her character change in 'Warlord'...lol)

I prefer the edgier character change...without the homocidal tendencies, of course. (Something I would like to see followed up in a novel or short story).

My stories won't give you a "Warlord" Kes but a brave, determined Kes-just like she was most of the time in the series when facing a difficult situation. :)
