> By the way, who or what is omne? > - Ralph Hyre Omne is the antagonist from the Sondra Marshak/Myrna Culbreath ST novels, "The Price of the Phoenix" and "The Fate of the Phoenix." His full name is Omnedon, and he comes from a planet torn apart by civil war when faced with the opportunity of joining the Federation. He's quite a villain -- strong, intelligent, and determined to live by his own rules. I recommend the two Phoenix books highly (I think they're currently in reprint); they embody a good, titanic struggle, some interesting transporter-based technology with galaxy-wide implications, and a nice examination of the Kirk/Spock relationship (among others).
