Partially because of the fans' negative reaction to Kirk's death, William Shatner later wrote a Star Trek novel titled "The Return" in which the Romulans and the Borg have formed an alliance. They bring Kirk back to life using Borg nano-technology and turn him against Picard and the crew of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). Spock (who would live to appear in "Unification" (season 5, episodes 7 and 8)), Scotty (who survived into the twenty-fourth century in "Relics" (season 6, episode 4), and McCoy (who sent off the Enterprise-D in the pilot episode "Encounter at Farpoint") were to appear. One of the plot points would have been the ultimate revelation that the Borg was the "machine planet" that sent the Voyager VI/V'ger probe back to Earth in Star Trek (1979).
