Who else deserves the "autobiography" treatment?

[F. King Daniel]

After The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, what other Trek characters' memoirs would you like to read? Spock and Picard top my list of canon characters. Perhaps Bashir owing to his genetic engineering and need to spend much of his life hiding his true nature. And Sulu, a book based on the Shatnerverse assumption that he ended up President of the UFP.

A "lower decks" TOS crewman that survived the 5-year missions and who has outspoken opinions on some of his superiors and embellishes somewhat would make for interesting reading.

Travis Mayweather. I really want to know what he did in the early to mid 2150s.
Or basically any other characters' memoirs as long as I don't have a strong dislike for them. So everybody except Archer and T'Pol. Phlox's memoirs would be really interesting. Or Cutler's. And I'm sure I could also think of some non-Enterprise characters but as I'm currently rewatching ENT my focus lies there. Also: Sam Cogley

I'd like to read Guinan's autobiography.

After The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, what other Trek characters' memoirs would you like to read?

Hmmm... Interesting question. Spock's would be interesting reading, particularly if it covered what he was up to during all the years between TUC and TNG. A McCoy autobiography would be an absolute hoot. I'd read that in a heartbeat. A Scotty autobio would probably quickly devolve into a love letter/schematic of the Enterprise, and we've already had a few of those.

I feel like a Picard autobiography would end up retreading a lot of the ground that Christopher already covered in The Buried Age, so I'd vote "no" on that one. I understand that most all of the VOY characters were covered in Pathways. Pike was covered excellently in Burning Dreams. We got a lot of glimpses of Number One's career in John Byrne's comic book Crew. Same with the Dax symbiont in The Lives of Dax. A Data autobiography might be interesting. Maybe it could be

Spoiler: Spoiler Text as this may cross the line into story ideas

"as told to" B-4, trying to make sense of all the memories that Data left him with?

"A Singular Destiny" referred to "Banned From Argo" as an in-universe song, suggesting that Kirk's crew included a very gossipy individual with no sense of personal boundaries and an enthusiasm for folk music.

I bet it was Riley.

A Picard one could be neat, especially if it captured the idea of the New Renaissance in the early 24th century from Federation.

Leslie!

I like the idea of McCoy. I think Chekov would be fun, too.

 

[Titus Andronicus]

This is a great question--I think a Benjamin Sisko autobiography, perhaps one with the framing story of a Federation News Service reporter trying to get to better know someone best known throughout the Federation as a hero of the Dominion War would be fascinating.

Of course, we as the reader would know that Sisko would have to leave some things out, depending on when the book is released. If it's after he disappears at the end of the war, then there's no way Starfleet would allow the reveal of, say, Section 31 or the Changeling Disease (never mind his role in pulling the Romulans into the war). Now if it's a book released a century later....

I think just because of his historical significance Archer could be interesting.
I know we've gotten quite a bit of backstory for Picard, but I would still love to read one for him.
Spock could be cool too.

 

[RandyS]

Morn.

 

[Stevil2001]

Morn.

Morn's should be an "unauthorized autobiography" a la Lemony Snicket. A series of other people telling stories about Morn that he told them about himself, all of dubious credibility.

 

[Avro Arrow]

Leslie!

This needs to happen!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Flint

 

[USS Firefly]

Sulu especially the years between TUC and TNG, on the Excelsior A?
And of course Morn deserves his own trilogie

 

[T'Nara]

Spock and Picard definitely, but also Jonathan Archer. Not my favourite captain, but since he's instrumental in the formation of the Federation, and in the end become one of the presidents, surely his story merits to be heard and recorded in a memoir?

 

[CaffeineAddict]

Riker. That would be a great perspective on TNG, and life on the Enterprise.

We've already had a Garak autobiography, or he'd have got my vote, too.

 

[Defcon]

Quark, should be a very interesting journey, both on the character level, and simply to see parts of the history of the Bajoran area and Terok Nor/DS9 from a neutral (Ferengi) perspective.

 

[JD]

That could be a lot of fun.

 

[mastadge]

I want Sisko's to be a biography, not an autobiography. I think it would be nice to have it be Jake's biography of his father.
Of all the captains, I feel like DS9's was the least backward-looking too. Aside from Michael Jan Friedman doing his thing in Saratoga, we really know not a whole lot of Sisko's past. I'd love to see, rather than "a retelling of the Bajoran relief efforts and the Dominion War," more focus on the Siskos -- his relationship with his father and with Jennifer and with Jake, his days on the Saratoga -- what did he think of the Cardassian Border Wars before he was involved? -- and, heck, finally to see the Tzenkethi war(s) fleshed out, and how that would prepare him for his role in the Dominion War.

Another vote for Sisko. I think McCormack would do an amazing job.
