I was wondering if anyone had heard what ever happened to Kirk's nephew, Peter, from "Operation: Annihilate!"
Remember he was the son of Aurelan and George Samuel "Sam" Kirk, he survived the Denevan neural parasite, and then was transported to Starbase 10.
Did this character ever appear in a Pocket Books novel? We have the further exploits of Leonard James Akaar, Joanna McCoy, Demora Sulu, and the grandson of Lieutenant Stiles from "Balance of Terror", but I haven't seen any mention at all of Peter Kirk.
Does anyone have any information to share?

Peter Kirk appeared in several times in the DC comics run of Trek.
In one special, he appeared with his three brothers on a camping trip with their famous uncle. The trip was interrupted by an unexpected visit from the orions.
In that same special, Peter went back in time to try to save his father from the parasites in "Operation: Annhailate." He himself is attacked, where he becomes the pilot of the vessel (mentioned in the beginnging of the episode) heading for Deneva's sun.
He also appeared as a research scientist assigned to a Starfleet science vessel in the Trek special produced by Wildstorm.
I am not aware of any other mentions beyond that. Although, I think he appears in A.C. Crispin's novel "Sarek."

Cool. Thanks guys. Posted by CaptainMike[1].mp3 (Member # 709) on :
One of G.S. Kirk, Jr.'s sons had a granddaughter named Jamie who was an Ensign on DS9. And the son of the Romulan commander toasted in BoT tried to kill her as revenge for the episode. Except the Organians stopped him. It was written by Mark Lenard. Yay comics!

The tomb of Leonard James Akaar is mentioned in Geoffrey Mandel's Starcharts as being a tourist attraction on Capella.

its been generally assumed so, and she appeared completely human, but then again there are a lot of races that appear completely human.

I remember when DC Comics did their 2- or 3-part "Trial of James T. Kirk" deal in the early 90s. They brought back all the old folks, include Sam Cogley to defend Kirk (& his wiofe, Areel shaw) & there were witnesses ranged from an older Bela Oxmyx (who brought Kirk's cut of the action with him) to a very large Leonard James Akaar.

i've that comic on my table.. i thought about it for a while, and reconciled the story with the other LJ Akaar references.. the DS9 backstory says he was ousted in a coup and fled his world, joined Starfleet and is a Fleet Admiral by the post-DW era.. the LJ Akaar in the comic was still the ruler of his world

By the looks of it, after Voyager but before Nemesis.

Or the DS9 Akaar (Jr.) is the son and fled when his dear old dad got killed, joined STarfleet and became an Admiral. Shot in the dark, I know but it saves Mandell's not nowing about the DS9 books using the character.

Not knowing, or not caring?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Likely not knowing on his part and not catching it on Pocket Book's part.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Not catching what, a handful of conflicting comic book stories?
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Not catching that the DS9 books feature a very old Admiral akkar in their stories set only about eight months after the end of the Dominion War. He's kind of a dick at first, but he has reasons and you eventually find he's got plans for Kira that involve her rank as a Starfleet officer becoming very official once Bajor joins up (and as a way to salvage her careeer from nasty politics on Bajor and keep her position as station commander. If you've not read the new DS9 books, I really do reccomend them: very tru to the show's promise and tone. ....and any book that features an Andorian as a major character or has a running firefight on an Akira class starship is worth reading IMHO.

A little-known bit of trivia, the ending for "Operation:Annihilate" was changed. I became aware of this after seein a still from the scene (either in a book or online, I can't remember where anymore). It showed Kirk standing next to Peter, who was sitting in "the Chair", wearing a child-sized Starfleet uniform. The caption indicated that that still came from that ep.

I've seen that picture too. It's online somewhere, I used to have the site-- a behind the scenes of Trek site-- as one of my favorite links. Alas, I've gotten rid of it.
I also read a 60's television triva book that made mention of Peter Kirk's uniformed appearance and that brief discussions were made at adding him as a young midshipman to the cast in the second year to appeal to the young female audience. Apparently, this was before the advant of Pavel-- I used to be the fifth Monkee-- Chekov.

Another good question is what happened to Kirk's other two nephews? The episode made no mention of them, and we saw no other bodies. Are they off somewhere, sharing a condo with Richie Cunningham's older brother and Hawkeye Pierce's mother and sister?

The other sons were mentioned in "What Little Girls are Made Of..." yet were not seen in "Operation: Annhailate." It has been postulated that they were off planet. One of the DC comics suggests that the oldest brother, Jason, was attending Starfleet Academy.

the latest take on Kirk's 'miscellaneous' nephews had them named Alexander and Julius, and trying to start there own colony in 2293 in "The Last Roundup" which is designed to be the 'last chapter' of post-ST6 TOS before Kirk sucks Nexus in Generations. kind of a dumb book, since its well traveled ground, "Best Destiny," "Shadows on the Sun," "The Fearful Summons," and "The Ashes of Eden" all take place in that timeframe.. the difference being that 'Best Destiny' and 'Ashes of Eden' actually were pertinent, the rest are just kind of retarded side trips..
