I was very pleasantly surprised by this. One doesn't really expect much from books supposedly "written" by TV stars (Doohan was, of couse, "Scotty" in the original "Star Trek" series), but this is actually very good indeed. In fact, it's excellent.



I look forward to reading the other two books in the trilogy.
Why do you think Dohan didn't write any of it? Wasn't he involved in several of the Trek scripts? I thought I recall reading that about him.
