Thought I had read this one but it‘s not on my shelf. ETA Diane Duane has yet to go awry. Another excellent voyage with an underlying theme regarding the essential nature of play.

A couple more thoughts on this Federation history:
1) fucking Malcolm Reed makes captain? And he expected to roll up and big dog the Organians?!
2) convergent evolution already exists on planet Earth, I don't think it's that radical to think it could exist across planets (the extent it exists with the humanoids does seem unlikely)
In a book full of drawings, this page was a real lol
#bookhaul 15 Star Trek books for 40$. It's a great find!
pick(1987) The first ST:TNG tie-in novel is a novelization of the pilot episode. It's been a long long time since I watched "Encounter at Farpoint," and this seemed to match my hazy memory pretty well, except that the tone of the ending was quite different. Still, even with the difference it felt more like an episode of the show than like a pastiche, so Gerrold gets a passing grade from me.

A much better installment to the TNG book series. I enjoyed the focus on Geordi and Data, especially the use of Geordi‘s visor! The moral questions brought up throughout the story were intriguing and made me think of a sci fi classic I read earlier this year, Way Station by Simak. But in this story, the threat of an alien conglomerate enforcing a handicap on a planets ability to govern itself and reach for the stars has become reality.
