Out-of-story, Brent Spiner felt that he was getting too old to play the ageless android character of Data and wanted to stop. In-story, there were reasonable ways for Data to get out alive, as David Mack points out in The Persistence of Memory. I was very disappointed when Data died in Star Trek: Nemesis, sacrificing his life to save the Enterprise, especially since it was done for silly reasons in a mediocre movie. All of these books focus on one of my favorite Star Trek characters, Data. I recently picked up the Cold Equations Trilogy by David Mack because they were billed as a sequel to a previous novel I really enjoyed, Immortal Coil. However, there have been a few that interested me over the years. Just like Star Wars, I never got really deep into the hundreds of books written for the various Star Trek series.
