Star Trek: All Discovery characters ranked from worst to best

7. Cleveland Booker

Book, whose full name is Cleveland Booker, is a character who brings a refreshing twist to the crew of the Discovery. With his absolutely gorgeous smile charming personality and a heart as vast as the galaxies he explores, Book is a true standout. He’s not your typical Starfleet member – in fact, he’s not one at all! Book is an independent courier with a deep love for all living creatures, which aligns beautifully with his unique ability to communicate with plants and animals. This talent not only adds an intriguing element to his character but also leads to some truly heartwarming and sometimes hilarious moments throughout the series.

But what really makes Book shine is his complex background and the personal growth he undergoes. He starts as a loner, wary of trusting others, but as he journeys with the Discovery crew, we see him open up, forming deep bonds, particularly with Michael Burnham. His evolution from a solitary figure to a key team player, who’s not afraid to show his vulnerabilities, adds depth to his character. Book is a perfect blend of mystery, charisma, and heart, making every scene he’s in captivating and full of potential.

Whether he’s navigating through dangerous space anomalies or having a quiet moment with his beloved cat, Grudge, Book keeps us engaged and rooting for him all the way.
