Requiescat in pace, Peter David.
I wouldn't say he changed Star Trek forever, since it was "just" a non-canon TNG novel, but still, it was a very good non-canon TNG novel. I liked the concept of Trelane being a young member of the Q Continuum.
Most people probably knew Peter David for his comic book stuff, but for me, it was his Star Trek novels. In addition to Q-Squared, as mentioned in the article above, other Trek novels of his that I really liked were Vendetta (the one that claimed the the Doomsday Machine was an ancient anti-Borg weapon, and also brought in its bigger brother), Q-in-Law (the one in which Q met Lwaxana Troi, Deanna Troi's mother, which was something that sadly never happened in the show proper), Imzadi (which tells the tale of the first meeting between Will Riker and Deanna Troi, and also involves the Guardian of Forever [and he wrote a sequel called Triangle: Imzadi II, which also involved Worf and Thomas Riker]), and I, Q (a book he co-wrote with John de Lancie, in which Q gives himself the task of preventing the destruction of the universe as we know it, with some help from Picard and Data), among a whole bunch of other stuff. I haven't actually read any of his New Frontier stuff, though. And pretty much anything else of his that isn't Star Trek-related is stuff with which I have very little familiarity.
