* In the ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine]]'' novel ''Fallen Heroes'', {{spoiler|Sisko's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and the code wherewith he warns anyone still alive while making sure the Bekkir are none the wiser.}}
* Surprisingly, '''B-4''' gets one in the Star Trek Online tie-in novel ''The Needs of the Many.'' Geordi has managed to access Data's memories inside B-4's head. Data, realizing that he is functionally dead, chooses to basically commit suicide rather than destroy his brother's consciousness. Geordi gives Data information on a threat to the Federation, believing Data to be capable of helping them, but Data is unmoved, wanting to give his brother the opportunity at life. Then, at the last moment, B-4 takes over the 'suicide command,' having read the same information sent to Data and believing that Data is more important to the than him. His last words are in the form of a message to Data are 'I love you brother. Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.'
* The first novel in the ''[[Star Trek: Vanguard]]'' series has an ''insane'' six-on-one battle between the overworked, underrepaired ''USS Bombay'' and a fleet of Tholian battlecruisers. {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome|They get destroyed eventually, but]]}} Captain Gannon and her crew {{spoiler|go out}} like total badasses, taking out at least ''five'' Tholian ships with [[Crazy Awesome]] tactics like slamming Tholians into each other with the tractor beam, a nice does of [[Ramming Always Works]], and [[Taking You with Me|creative use]] of the {{spoiler|[[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]}}. Even Kirk is impressed.
* A troper above noted the final defeat of the Borg in ''[[Star Trek Destiny]]'' as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. This troper thought it was....unimpressive, at best. Some truly Crowning Moments...however,
** In the first book ''Gods of Night'', the crew of the USS ''Ranger'' basically turn their entire ship into a transphasic torpedo and incinerate the Borg ship heading for the Klingon planet Khitomer. The Klingons are so impressed that they are spurred into joining the war effort against the invasion.
