The holographic novel (also called a holonovel) is, like its ancient counterpart, a story with a protagonist and characters with a plot. However, unlike regular novels actual people can become the characters on a holodeck or in a holosuite.Holonovels are not always written for entertainment purposes. For example, Lieutenant Commander Tuvok was the original author of a holonovel in which he simulated the mutiny of the Maquis aboard USS Voyager. His purpose in doing so was to train new security officers in case that Maquis aboard Voyager ever attempted such a coup d'etat. Interestingly enough though, Tom Paris (and others) took it upon themselves to ignore the original intent of Tuvok and continued the yet unfinished holonovel with pure entertainment purposes in mind.
