Simon Tarses

Somebody on my f-list likes him, I know.

FYI he's in a number of novels: (TNG) Sins of Commission, (TNG) Do Comets Dream?, (DS9) Avatar, the DS9 "Mission Gamma" miniseries consisting of four novels (Twilight, This Gray Spirit, Cathedral, and Lesser Evil), (DS9) Warpath, and Star Trek: Destiny: Book 1: Gods of Night (possibly with mentions in the later books of the series, too, but I haven't read them so I don't know).

Oh, and he's in the video game Star Trek: Starship Creator as one of the TNG crew.

So there is love. ♥

Siiiiimon. ♥ I've been wondering which novels he was in, so thank you. :>

You're welcome. ♥ Keeping in mind that I don't know how large a role he played per book. Let me know if any of them totally rock, okay?

edit: I have just bought Sins of Commission and will let you know. Also, it turns out there is a DS9 mini-series of books called Avatar, and I'm not sure if that's the same as what Simon's in.

I've actually begun reading the Avatar mini-series just today (I've had it laying around for a while), and Simon is mentioned early in the first book. :> So far he sadly doesn't have a very large role, though.

Mystery solved then! I suspect he will mostly have a supporting or minor sort of role in most of these books, and a major role in one or two. Writers seem to like using interesting background characters this way.

And soemtimes that's for the best. I really like Dr. Selar, who appeared in one episode but was mentioned in a few others, and when I picked up a book (Eyes of the Beholders) where she was one of the mains, I was ecstatic. (She adopted an adorable blind Andorian orphan!) And now she's a main in the New Frontier books, along with a cast of other characters who have shown up here and there, and she's totally different from in that novel. I don't know how to feel about that. :/

So I wish you the best of luck with Simon in these books!
