Bob,
I am not saying that stories can't be well told, and I do know that some of the Trek novels have main characters outside of the usual suspects. That being said, not counting the spin-offs, the books with alternate main characters often feel like (fairly or not) the author is trying to put themselves into the story.. if that makes any sense.

I have been tempted by some of the spin-offs though. That being said, there are an awful lot of other good books out there.
