So just by chance this book was lying in the used book bin at my library. And it was really falling apart, so much so that when I finished I dropped it right in the dumpster.
But still this was a lot of fun. The author took two of my favorite original series episodes, "Miri" and "Requiem for Methusaleh"...

"Surprise!"- Uhura sees Kirk naked! Tee hee!
"Snake Pit"- Christine Chapel saves Kirk by fighting snakes. Naked! Tee hee!
"The Patient Parasites"- Ever read a script too uninspired to be an episode of the animated series? I have now.
"In the Maze"- Kirk, Spock, & McCoy...

This is Joe Haldeman's second Star Trek novel. I haven't read the first, but in the light of this one, I would.
Comparing this to Blish's Star Trek efforts is interesting: Haldeman handles the characters just as well, introduces interesting SF ideas just as deftly and gives some secondary characters...

This was an enjoyable read, if not too deep. It was written in the early '90s, so it was interesting to see how technology was expected to have advanced. Quite a bit of what's described we're well past, particularly in the field of computers, but others we seem to be behind where things were expected to be...

We're human beings, with the blood of a million savage years on our hands...but we can stop it.

I found this on my parents' bookshelf, looking as though it hadn't been touched since 1971. When I opened it, the cover fell off.
While I love the original...

Though unworthy of being considered "canon," THE STARLESS WORLD does just enough right to capture some of that old-timey STAR TREK TOS magic. Yes, it's all pretty silly and by-the-numbers, but my inner twelve-year-old couldn't help but eat it up. Still, I have several complaints. At one point, Kirk...

I have read Star Trek books for a very long time and I mostly enjoy them for the bit of fan-fiction they appear to be. I mean, come on, how cool is it to write about familiar characters and develop your own little pocket universe like Vonda McIntyre (God rest her soul) used to do. Here, in Corona, you have a star...
