Saw it in a used book sale, read a few of hers when I was younger, and was like, “Heck, why not.” I like her big, adventurous imagination.

“I’m currently reading Spock’s World, an old Star Trek novel by Diane Duane”

Gods, I haven’t thought of that novel in literally decades. That’s back from the days when, if you excluded James Bliss and Alan Dean Foster’s condensations of the original and animated series, you could count the number of Trek novels without taking your shoes off.

I was wondering if Syr’Nj isn’t taking quite the risk in going to the Sky Elves. I mean, last time she spoke to him, several people here in the comments, including T, seemed to think that Caneghem would have no problem signing her death warrant. If that was true, what’s convincing her that he’s not a danger to her now?
I mean, of course the Altruists are no longer in charge, but the Altruists (except one) agreed to dissolve the House anyway, so relinquishing their power to a single leader would have had to have been part of their plan in some way (which I still don’t understand). So, who’s to say if Caneghem is maybe quite okay with Taro being in charge now? Maybe he hopes that will keep the humans distracted long enough for him to make whatever move he had in mind?

_Spock’s World_ is one of my favorite ST novels. Diane Duane is a treasure.
