And now for something completely different

I'm excited about the new Star Trek movie coming out soon. I have to admit I've sort of fallen away from most things Trek over the years, but am a fiercely loyal fan of the original series. This is best exhibited by my absolute refusal to get rid of my Star Trek novel collection. It takes up three fully packed shelves on one of my six foot tall bookshelves and I desperately need to reclaim that space. But hell no! Trek won't go!!

Ahem, anyway, I was thinking about some of my favorite Trek books (instead of working cause it's Friday and sunny and I really don't want to be here) and remembered this gem Ishmael.  From there I realized that it had to be one of the first crossover stories I ever remember reading.  (And I don't include the Jetsons meet the Flintstones either, sorry.)  The story has everything I ever wanted in a Trek novel, time travel, Spock with amnesia, pesky Klingons and an unexpected side of the Bolt Brothers.  Oh yeah.

I think there might be a lawn chair with my name on it in the near future, quite possibly today.
