Seska's Kid - Any novel appearances?
- Thread starter DonIago
- Start date
I believe there's a brief cameo in the Dark Matters trilogy, as him suffering from the dark matter affliction (for want of a better term - it's been a while, so I don't remember the particulars), but it's a non-speaking appearance, where an outside observer is viewing him and Cullah, and it only lasts for a page or two at most.
Otherwise, to date, the Kazon in general have been fairly left alone, which includes Seska's son. That may change in future Voyager novels, though based on the synopsis of 'A Pocket Full of Lies,' Voyager's current path isn't going to take them into Kazon space for the time being, as the aliens mentioned in it were originally referenced in Year of Hell, several thousand light-years from Kazon space.

I did get a kick out of that.
Actually, if it were a choice, I'd rather a VOY novel revisit the kid Chakotay worked with in...er..."Initiations"? Though it seems reasonable to think that any VOY novel that would choose to revisit the Kazon might take advantage of both opportunities there.
Really, I think it was a wasted opportunity that VOY introduced the Kazon as having several different sects, but the majority of the time they were essentially indistinguishable.
^ Yeah...the Kazons just go rolling along...
I'm not necessarily bothered by the idea that the Nistrim, at least, were trailing Voyager, as they had a reason for doing so...but I think it would have been better if there'd been some discussion of the fact that in the process they were going outside their usual territory.
I wouldn't be totally against seeing what's become of the Kazon since Voyager's last encounter with them. If we were to revisit more DQ races introduced in the TV series they would actually be my second choice though, my first would be the Vidiians. One of the title group in Think Tank made a reference to them curing The Phage. I would love to see what their society is like now, years later.
I'd rather see the Vidiians than the Kazon if it were a choice, to be sure. Especially if Danara Pel made a reappearance.
OTOH, it might be an interesting twist if the Think Tank had lied about curing The Phage.
I had this idea that with the departure of the Borg the Kazon may have become oppressed by races that previously had larger concerns, but I don't think that really works given the distance between Borg and Kazon space.

According to Memory Beta, one of the books in the 'Dark Matter' trilogy mentions the Vidiians. Apparently after curing the phage they were under sustained attack by a number of races for their actions. I wouldn't mind seeing the Full circle fleet aiding the Vidiians, perhaps in brokering a peace accord and getting some stability to that area of the Delta Quadrant.
I honestly can't think of any reason whatsoever that they would use him. He was never really a character; more of a set piece really. Like many others have mentioned, the Kazon were pretty lame as protagonists go.
Personally, I would be pleased to never see the Kazon or Seska's kid mentioned in TrekLit.

And he lives on Culluh Culluh Island. 
That would interest me much more than any story with the Kazon. I thought they were good for a 'one off' villain but felt no reason to keep them.
The only way I'd want to see the Kazon come back is if the Trabe did. Let them slug it out.
And perhaps we'd learn that the Kazon aren't the woe-is-us slaves they claimed to be...

But that was one of the few interesting ideas around the Kazon. Why would you want them to be made less interesting by backing off that?
Given how belligerent the Kazon generally were, it's admittedly a bit hard for me to imagine why Voyager et al. would want to enter Kazon space. But if there ever is such a story, I look forward to finding out what the motivation is.
How about to check on the Ocampa?
I had this inkling of the Ocampa somehow becoming a major power and going on the offensive against the Kazon, but I just can't see how that would work, much less make for a compelling story.
Maybe if Suspiria entered the picture, but I don't know that this would be a good use of her either.
