$*#@! Missed that. At least it was another Star Trek reference. :p

Thanks.

I thought Chain of Attack was one of the better TOS novels.

Sorry to hear he is no longer with us.

It’s also worth noting that the final copy of the novel Probe, even though it says Margaret Wander Bonnano on the cover, was apparently mostly written by DeWeese.

It went through several rewrites, you can find the whole saga on garamet’s website: http://www.margaretwanderbonanno.com/bio.htm

It’s probably his best book, even though his name isn’t on the cover.

I enjoyed Chain of Attack, but Engines of Destiny was the worst Scotty-centric novel ever – he just didn’t get the character at all, changing him from the tough, hard-bitten, authoritative guy we met in TOS to a whining drunk who couldn’t accept that people (including legendary Captains) died in the course of Starfleet duty. Haven’t read his Next Gen stuff, maybe that was better.

His talents will be sadly missed.

Sad to hear this, especially since The Final Nexus is one of the first Trek novels I remember reading. Worth noting though:

1) “Chain of Command, his first Star Trek novel” should read “Chain of Attack”.

2) In case anyone missed it above (it’s in the article, but I breezed over it myself), this occurred five months ago. This is the first time I’ve noticed it posted on any Trek news site though.

How sad. I always enjoyed his Star Trek novels.
