    I recently started watching TNG. My first exploration into Star Trek and it is fantastic.

    Your video has made me realise that I have never read a Star Trek novel, which is odd since I am a big fan of the original series up to Voyager. I haven't watched any of the recent shows or films. Will have to look into some of the classic paperbacks if I can find copies. Great vid!

    Ha! I loved the Guardians and Kirk conversation. Hilarious. Books with non-stop arguing dialogue are the most tedious. Probably more so than a boring plot.

    Good luck with the series. I’ve not read any of them but you have peaked my interest. Sucks that this one was a bit of a disappointment.

    wait? they called Sulu a samurai?
    that's highly out of character. Sulu thinks of himself a a swashbuckler, not a samurai.
    and if the memory serves, the blish novels are GOOD. sometimes better than the episode they were written from.

      He goes full "Seven Samurai" in the Shadow Lord novel.
      Out of character: Probably.
      Cool as heck: YES!

      @@secretfirebooks7894 fair enough.
      i'm now wondering about the publication date, because Gene Rodenberry tended to discovery write, and this resulted in his charecters changing over time a bit. could be what happened if the novel predated the writing of "the naked now"
