Star Trek: The Entropy Effect
Jul. 2nd, 2009 11:04 pmTuesday I finished reading Vonda N. McIntyre's The Entropy Effect, which is the first Star Trek-related book I've read. It's got singularities and time travel and Spock and McCoy being pretty fantastic. It also supports both Spock/Kirk (boy does it ever) and McCoy/Kirk. While I am a Spock/Kirk girl myself, I am totally behind all the love. I enjoyed the book a lot.
Except for the written Scottish dialect. We know Scotty is Scottish. I don't need to be confused by additional vowels, missing consonants, or random apostrophes. Other than that, though, it was solid. Ending maybe a little anti-climatic.
( Spoilerific )
It's a storyline I wouldn't mind seeing applied to the new Trek 'verse. Not movie-wise, but fic-wise. I want to see new Kirk and Spock with their different history (and histories) go through this. Because I want to see how they'd react.
Now I really want to read more Trek books.
My love for Spock is massive.
