I've just finished reading the book.  It's the first Star Trek novelization
I've read.  I never wanted to read any of it cause I thought it would just
be people trying to cash in on the name and wouldn't show much consistency -
wrong again.

Thoughts and comments -- Good book.  Based on one of my favorite episodes;
"All Our Yesterdays",  seemed to hang in well with both the episode and the
series.  Only one slight time I noticed (Kirk) out of characterization was:

	Reprinted without permission (of course)
	
     		"Kirk grinned (at McCoy) and headed for the door.
		'I'll leave you to get him dressed and barbered.
		After all, I'm a starship Captain - not a valet.'"

That does sound a little more like McCoy than Kirk to me.  Nonetheless,
it was a good work and I'd like if anyone can recommend (for or against)
other Star Trek books.

					Thanks,
