Spoilers TOS: Identity Theft by Greg Cox Review Thread

[Christopher]

In the audiobook when considering boarding a luxury yacht our heroes listen to an 'Ardanian' (?) and there is mention of 'egalitarian reforms' taking place on their planet. What is this a reference to? (If anything.) I'd like to read up on those reforms

I would assume it refers to Ardana, the planet from "The Cloud Minders."

Yep. "The Cloud Minders."

This is twenty-plus years after Kirk shook things up there, so one likes to think that the Troglytes aren't being oppressed anymore -- even if some old-school Ardanian aristocrats aren't happy about that.

Sulu and Chekov mentioned a lot of old adventures involving TOS planets and races that weren’t (as far as I could tell) TOS episodes. I’m not sure if any of them were references to other novels or comics, or if they were all unchronicled events.
