Rating: Summary: Read Reannon Bonaventure's Review Review: A turgid desperate attempt at an interesting story, this one fails miserably in plot development, with endless idiotic dialog such as: "Why are you listening to this one?" flame-shadow spat. "We are beyond his dim level of understanding! You cannot allow a non-sentient creature to dictate to you!" A stand-alone book about Zar's adventures in Sarpeidon might have been more interesting, but the idea that McCoy and Kirk would laugh at this half-Vulcan's contamination of the natural of the planet with a stolen tricorder is deplorable...
Rating: Summary: Good story, if a bit fannish... Review: Back in the day, you often saw a variety of tales told in the Trek universe as Paramount Pictures didn't have as strong a hold on the series as they do now. As a result, you saw some fantastic (and I mean wild) stories being told. Here is one that while not so wild, falls easily into the fannish aspect, bringing up a "What If?" that fans have often wondered about. I doubt it would get produced today. The story telling is very good, with solid characterization. This is one story for the true fan, but not the casual reader of the series.

Rating: Summary: Read Reannon Bonaventure's Review Review: I read this Star Trek novel in response to the tremendous "hype" that I had seen regarding both this novel and its prequel "Yesterday's Son." I have to say that both novels live up to their reputations as some of the best Star Trek fiction you'll find in print. Both stories are well written and well structured. The author's understanding of and affection for the characters and her dedication to the subject matter permeate both texts providing the reader with a very special experience.

Rating: Summary: Time for All Our Yesterdays :-) Review: It was the first Star Trek novel I've read, and it's still one of my favorites. I love time-travel stories, especially if the characters meet they relatives in the past or future (like in Back to the Future). Events in "Time for Yesterday" can be understood without knowing its prequel and the TOS episode "All Our Yesterdays" (on which the whole story is based.) The main character is Zar (son of Spock and Zarabeth), ruler of a prehistoric community on Planet Sarpeidon. His country is attacked by the enemy, and he must seek allies, so he marries a daughter of another ruler. Meanwhile, the Enterprise travels back to the past to find Zar who is the only one who can save the universe from collapsing. Zar meets his father again. Spock takes Zar to the future to save the world, and he wants him to remain with them, because he studied the history of Sarpeidon and he knows that Zar will die in a battle. Still Zar goes back to his people and his wife. Then Spock travels back to the past again to save his son...
Rating: Summary: Magnificent ! Review: Just finished reading this book. Words cannot express how much I enjoyed/loved it! Without giving away too much - the interaction between Spock and his son was wonderful and brought tears to my eyes more than once. Additionally, oft times a book will end too abruptly leaving me wanting more - or too slowly leaving me wanting to get to the end. This book's end was perfect!
Rating: Summary: an excellent sequel to "yesterday's son" Review: the guardian of forever is not running correctly. it is causing stars to go nova millions of years ahead of schedule. the scientific team sent to investigate has not been heard from. kirk and spock are called upon to investigate as they were the ones who discoved it. the problem is that the only one who was able to contact it was spock's son who lives 1 million years in the past. a new plan is concocted to go back and see if he will come to the future. but when they arrive, zar has problems of his own. he is on the brink of war and he does not want to leave his people for even his father. this story has more twists and turns than any star trek novel i have read other than "black fire". a must read for all spock fans and for anyone who read "yesterday's son".
