"A Dish Served Cold" by Kevin H. Robnett (PG-15)

Fandom: HIGHLANDER/STAR TREK
Pairing: none

author's webpage: kevinrobnett.com

Why this must be read:
A novel-length crossover set well into the future (some few years before "Star Trek: Voyager," I think), "A Dish Served Cold" sees Richie having made a place for himself in Starfleet, and Immortals spread out among the stars along with the rest of humanity. (Oh yeah, that "Archangel" mess at the end of season 5? Ignore it.) And of course, all the problems of Immortality, human-Klingon relations, and deep-space exploration combine to cause trouble in the good life Richie has made for himself.

Also featuring Methos and Duncan, an appearance or two by Lwaxana Troi, Sarek, and some other familiar Trek faces. "ADSC" is densely plotted and filled with flashbacks. It has a slight tendency to "Forrest Gump"-ify Richie, but the details and tone make it feel like a true piece of Star Trek, and Richie's various decisions and motivations are an excellent extension of "The Messenger."
