Thomas F. Zahler

Thomas F. Zahler is an author and writer who has written two pieces of Star Trek literature to date.

Zahler counts Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as his favourite series. Mahler commented: "..''Deep Space Nine is my favorite Star Trek. I think it was some of the best storytelling, some of the most complicated stories, some of the best characters, most of the best acting. Not that there aren’t brilliant people acting on the other Star Trek shows, but the ensemble of Deep Space Nine was just magnetic. I also think that it benefited from being the show that no one was paying attention to, and that allowed them to do things that the other Star Treks weren’t allowed to do. It is the only Star Trek that has humans as bad guys in the 24th Century. Apparently, that was a Roddenberry thing that he felt that humans would evolve to a point where they were beyond petty differences. As I understand it, the writers would have to figure out way to write around those problems, and that is why you have the Maquis joining Starfleet, because that is where the irritation is supposed to come from. Deep Space Nine had the most robust universe''".
