This is a competently written book that wildly annoyed me. It's very sexist—within the first few pages we get the male-gaziest description of a lady with a shag haircut wearing only a thong bikini bottom that I have ever had the displeasure of reading—and while I can forgive people glorying in hot ladies, the other one of Kirk's love interests is a caricature of a shrewish leftist woman. It also has a strong pro-anarchist viewpoint...but also pro-Federation and pro-militarist...so ultimately it just reads as conservative. I guess if you vibe with that you might like it. If not, stay far away.

A so-so Star Trek novel, another one about the Enterprise contending against the Klingons for influence over a war-torn planet. The hook here is that the planet is a water world, with underwater cities. The only other item of interest is that the author is Vic Milan, the erstwhile masquerade contest Master of Ceremonies at Archon every year. (
