This book’s been around a while, but it holds up beautifully, even in light of all of the developments within the Trek universe since it was written. I like to return to it every few years, not only for nostalgia and such, but also because of the way she makes it truly Trek - beyond sci-fi and into the humanities, philosophy, ethics, etc. A pleasure to read and re-read.

Jumping out of our galaxy with a brilliant glass spider at your side? How can you beat that? One of my favorite ST novels of all time! A must read!

This is one find book to read keeps you going.

Diane Duane's ultra-imaginative, hard SF approach to Star Trek is refreshingly unique, and this is one of her very best.
