NO- that was the actor that played his role.
In the novels (at least) Scotty, Uhura, McCoy and Spock are running the whole of Starfleet between them
A real good reason to not read the novels.

Some of the novels have found an appropriate use for Scotty. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers (SCE) books have him acting as the liason between Starfleet Command and the SCE; a position in which he can still take part in engineering but not have to be overly familiar with late 24th century technology.

I guess so- Scotty being alive and active is no real stretch thanks to his suspended animation from TNG, but the others hould be left well enough alone.
Uhura running starfleet inteligence is particularly offensive- it's like having Rand become Federation President, because, you know, she served under Kirk so readers will identify with and pay to read about her....
Ug.
McCoy should have died with DeForest Kelley- he was pretty frail as of TNG's first episode, but you'd think he was more actuve than on TOS from his book treatment. (and of course both Bashir are Crusher are shown to be in total subservence to him and incapable of doing anything without his approval)

Personally, I find it amusing that the threat of squicking Sol while at the same time calling him an unpleasant name is apparently good form.
