I haven't been around much lately, but I might do wonder what you thought of my "The Patriot" in the same anthology.
So I just finished William Leisner's "A Less Perfect Union" from Myriad Universes: Infinity's Prism...and I think it's the yardstick by which I'm going to measure every other story in the two collections. I loved it, I really did. Not only was it interesting to see all the changes to what we know to be "true" in ST, the story itself was genuinely interesting. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what happened next, and it also gave the distinct impression that there were tons more stories to be told in that timeline. I'm almost upset that we won't be seeing any of them.![]()

It also gave me a nifty idea for a short story that I might write up. Not for that alternate reality, for the original one.
The next Myriad-Universe book is coming this summer/fall I believe. We'll see if it's as good.
I don't recall making any references to The Lost Years. On the contrary -- since TLY was contradicted by what VGR: "Q2" established about the final mission of Kirk's 5-year tour, I disregarded TLY altogether when writing Ex Machina. Perhaps you're thinking of the Lori Ciana references, but those are based on the TMP novelization.
And though I personally consider TFF apocryphal, I think I did include a subtle allusion to Sybok or at least to the possibility of his existence. As for the line you reference, keep in mind that Sybok was disowned, so officially he wasn't considered a son of Sarek anymore. And Sarek's family probably didn't like to talk about him much; consider that Spock never even told his best friends about Sybok. Whoever said that line may not have been aware of Sybok or his relationship to Sarek.
ST5 apocryphal? Seriously? It’s not *that* bad.
