I’ve tried using that dammed Amazon Search feature, but its a useless mess. Which of the _Star Trek: New Frontiers_ novels have the character M’ress in them? There was a thread on this before, but I can’t find that, either. ---

Cribbing from the PAD bibliography and my addled memory, _New Frontier: Restoration New Frontier: Gateway #6: Cold Wars New Frontier: Being Human New Frontier: Gods Above New Frontier: Stone and Anvil New Frontier: No Limits_ Not sure about the last. I _know_ Arex shows up in it, so M’ress might be along as well. ---

Many thanks! Does anybody have more info, or maybe can find the earlier thread? ---

Okay, now that I’ve actually checked my books, I need to correct my earlier list: M’Ress doesn’t show up in either _New Frontier: Restoration_ nor _No Limits.__No Limits_ does have a chuckle-worthy Arex story (though I thought the ending was somewhat obvious), but nothing dedicated to M’Ress. Her first appearance in NF is definitely _Cold Wars,_ though. ---

More help, people? ---

What more specifically do you need to know? ---

M’ress isn’t a character at all until the Gateways book, where they pick her and Arex both up after being stranded or something. After that, she’s in most of the books but not all. ---

I just searched Cafe Society by user names (under the assumption that you posted the last M’Ress thread as well), searched through all my subscribed threads (I subscribe to every Trek thread I read and/or participate in and I remember that thread), and then even did a search on the boards for it but to no avail. I guess it was purged.
