Speaking of Irish, Star Trek has Scotty who is Irish. So vote for Scotty and his wee bairns.
Um. Irish? I don't think so.

How come so little love for one of the most recent books in our library, Music of the Spheres by Wander Bonanno? It's Star Trek! It features characters from the original series! It was commissioned by Paramount. The ebook version, edited and proofed by our own JSWolf, even has the author's personal seal of approval! Just one more nod gets it on the ballet, and look at it this way: If it wins, every time in the future that Jon complains about someone nominating a book that isn't the first in a series, you all could throw this in his face! That's a win-win if ever I saw one!
That is a compelling argument but having read several other Star Trek novels a few years ago I am hesitant to say "I will read this if it wins". They are hit and miss at best from my experience.

I checked out some of the controversy mentioned in the nomination when deciding to third this or not (I know it's moot now) and that mess is an interesting read even if the book doesn't turn out to be.
Quote:
Margaret Wander Bonanno (born 7 February 1950; age 66) is a science fiction author from New York, with over twenty novels to her credit, including several set in the Star Trek universe. These include Dwellers in the Crucible, Strangers from the Sky, and Catalyst of Sorrows.

She rose to the spotlight of Star Trek apocrypha when her novel Strangers from the Sky made the Time bestsellers list in 1985. But the story that gave her more fame in Trek circles was what would follow.

She is also credited with writing Probe, though in her words it is "not her novel." She was contracted by Paramount to write a novel she called Music of the Spheres, based on the Whale Probe of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. However, due to the undesired intervention of an editor at Paramount, the story was nearly completely re-written without her consent, and they refused to remove her name from the project.
You can read more about this in her own words here: Probed (Word .doc)

How you figure that?

(BTW, I'd have thirded it if June hadn't jumped in front of me.)
I got that incorrect. It's Scottish, not Irish.

Less than 8 hours to go for nominations, anyone else want to add anything? We have room for 4 more.

I had several suggestions I thought about throwing out, but I like what we've got so far more than the things I would suggest. As it stands, I'll vote for at least half of them.
