Summary: Review of "Time For Yesterday"
Comment: This is an excellent "Star Trek" book, a sequel to Star Trek #11, "Yesterday's Son", which was itself a sequel to the original series episode, "All Our Yesterdays". "Yesterday's Son" was good, if not spectacular. This book is much better; one assumes that the author has matured a bit as a writer in the interim. It utilizes a plot device that is unduly common: Kirk & the Enterprise must save the entire universe. But unlike most books that use such a device, this one actually manages to make it more or less plausible, and handles the concept well. Further, the characters are well-written, and the language is handled with a smooth competence unusual in mass-market paperbacks. The plot moves well, and the book accomplishes all that it sets out to.
Excellent read for the Star Trek fan, and probably worthwhile for the casual reader, as well.

Summary: Time for All Our Yesterdays :-)
Comment: 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...

Summary: Read Reannon Bonaventure's Review
Comment: 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...
