A biography of Guinan probably would have to be a whole series.

Cervantes Quinn & Tim Pennington of course. Thrust together by circumstance for one last grand adventure...a mini-series tho...not an ongoing run.


That's two characters I know. But I felt they were at their best when playing off each other.

I don't know if I necessarily want a whole series, but I would love to see a biography of Guinan.

I hadn't even considered the idea of a biography type story for someone. Following the major events of their life in such a way. A Data biography is one that comes to mind. Tales of an Ensign Data, or a Data before entering the Academy would be really interesting to read.

Aren't there some young Data in the academy books? In the old Starfleet Academy series?

Yes there are:

Mystery of the Missing Crew
Secret of the Lizard People
Deceptions

The Outrageous Okona (written by PAD)

I've always been disappointed that more wasn't done with Okuna after TOO.

 

[Captain Clark Terrell]

Re: If you could base a new series of trek books on any one character.

A USS Reliant series featuring Clark Terrell would be amazing--particularly with everything that's happened to the character in the Vanguard and Seekers series. I also enjoyed Christopher's depiction of Paul Winfield's character in his portion of the Mere Anarchy series.

Seekers is already on track? Are the Seeekrs books more episodic?

TOO?

I believe it means, "The Outrageous Okona".

Luther Sloan

Although the "faked his death" angle has been used twice fairly recently so maybe not.

I remeber him showing up in comics according to Memory-Beta.

I'd love a series about Elias Vaughan and his myriad adventures as a member of Starfleet Intelligence

All the ones I can think of would be bordering into story ideas.... so I will say those gecko offspring that Janeway and Paris had....

Okay serious answer Archer the early years.

I thought that was what Cast No Shadow was.

I think a fun series would be one about the adventures of Q and Vash. Almost Doctor Who & Companion like.

That would be awesome. I'm kind of surprised we haven't gotten this story yet.

It's basically Vaughn's First Big Adventure™ (or Second Big Adventure™, if you count DS9: Avatar, Book 1), where he crosses paths with several major TOS movie-era characters literally at the dawn of the 24th Century. Get thee to a bookstore immediately, sir.

As a big Vaughan fan, i'm blown away that you haven't. Vaughan deserved to be on that cover more than Spock did. Check it out

I didn't realize he was such an important character!

Really, I'm just not big on TOS books, but I'll definitely look for a copy of this. Thanks guys!
