Victor Woodward Milán (3 August 1954 – 13 February 2018; age 63) was a science fiction author who wrote one Star Trek novel.
Milán was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Milán lived and worked round Albuquerque as a cowboy and a prog rock DJ. [1] He had over a hundred novels published, one of which, The Cybernetic Samurai won a Prometheus Award.
In the 1980s, Milan pitched a Star Trek novel to Pocket Books, based on a conspiracy between rogue Federation elements and the Romulans to trigger a war. The proposal was accepted, but editorial changes led to its cancellation before a contract could be signed. Milan tried again in the 1990s, and his sole Star Trek credit, From the Depths, was the result. (Voyages of Imagination, p. 100)
