Vonda N. McIntyre is very ill :(

- Start date
Didn't know that she did the novelizations of the movies. Just double checked a copy of Star Trek IV's novelization that I got second hand and saw that she was. RIP Ms/Mrs. McIntyre.
Just heard the news this morning, sad to hear it. Like so many in this thread, she was an early part of my Trek reading experience (I can't remember if I read the TVH novelization before I read Diane Carey's Final Frontier, but I think TVH may have been first for me). I re-read (or, in the case of The Entropy Effect, read for the first time) all her Trek novels in 2017, and enjoyed the experience. My thoughts are with her family and friends in their time of loss.
Only just saw this. RIP. Enjoyed her Trek work and many of her original works.

Very sad news. I haven't read any of her books yet, but I have had The Entropy Effect, and Duty, Honor, Redemption, the Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, The Voyage Home Signature Series omnibus on my Nook and Google Play accounts for a while now. I might have to read one of them sometime soon.
My apologies to Mr Cox. The book I read together with Vonda McIntyre novelization of ST 2: The Wrath of Khan was Greg Cox's third book in the Khan series called: To Reign in Hell. Mr. Cox does an incredible job of tying TWOK and his book for complete experience. I just willing chose to read TWOK and To Reign in Hell together simultaneously.
To all in the thread, Vonda McIntyre did an incredible job of having an incredible amount of detail and expanding the story with the reader with her novelizations. I can't recommend ENOUGH to fans in this thread read the novelizations and her other works and Trek works as well.
SPOILERS:
Slightly off topic, to Mr. Cox I had question to ask:
if Khan had killed David Marcus in ST II do you think Kirk would have the drive to reunited Khans wife's remains with Khan in the nebula sector. Would Kirk still have that sense of being driven to do right the wrongs for Khan. I always felt that was such a powerful way to end your book.
My apologies again for the error, in the title. It was late and I made a mistake, in the title. In all fairness to you.
All the best,

Her novel, "The Entropy Effect" was so well received when Pocket took on the licence that VNM was asked to novelise ST II. Her added scenes made that novelization much appreciated, so ST III was even chunkier. I think the script dialogue doesn't even start until about a third of the way in. Then came "Enterprise: The First Adventure", but her experience with writing the ST IV novelization soured her on writing for Trek any more. Things had changed at the ST Office at Paramount and VNM was suddenly being micromanaged. (Her pithy essay about that experience is no longer on her website.)
