Summary: Interesting in so many ways...
Review: I'm not sure I've ever felt so many different things from one book. I may be thinking that because I read it yesterday, but the fact remains that this is a remarkable book. Inspiring, hilarious, unsettling. To choose two favorite stories to illustrate: "The Face in the Barroom Floor," and "Mind-Sifter," which has already been mentioned twice. The first is simply hilarious. A rollicking story from beginning to end, from Kirk's barroom brawl to his escape from jail to McCoy's final conclusion that maybe Spock had better take shore leave next time. A funny, feel-good, well-written story. As opposed to "Mind-Sifter." I read it yesterday, and I'm still unsettled. I think it can all be summed up by mentioning that Kirk frequently whimpers, screams, cries, and it's not at all funny or unnatural. An excellent story. Though unsettling. Those are two of eight, I could go on but I won't. I'll just conclude that this book manages to span and touch all the best aspects of Star Trek fiction. Not bad for a little 236 page paperback.

Summary: Pure nostalgia
Review: This book is literally like taking a trip back in time. The stories are very good, my favorite being Mindsifter. The one about the actors actually being transported into the ST universe is especially fun. Much better than The New Voyages 2, which is still a lot of fun.

Summary: Fascinating!
Review: This is a marvelous book. Inside it, you can find 8 stories writed by star trek fans of the 1970`s. I think that the best story of this book is "Ni Var", in which Spock is separated in his two breeds: one Vulcan and another Human. Both Spocks decided to be reunited, because it is - of course - 'logic`, that they must remained as one only being. The last story `Mind sifter'is interesting, too, but I would wish that the writer would provided more details about the encounter between Kor, Kirk and the Guardian of Forever.REad it! You don't be disappointed.
