Spoilers TOS: Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan Review Thread

[Greg Cox]

Thank you for that information. It was very interesting. A while back when I re-read it, I downloaded onto my Kindle her book Mirabile. She also wrote quite a number of short stories that appeared in magazines like Fantasy and Science Fiction.

I remember enjoying Mirabile back in the day.

I miss Janet. She was always fun to hang out with at conventions.

Evan Wilson (nee Tail Kinker)

Well, it's the opposite of "née," because that's French for "born" and means someone's original name. I'm pretty sure she wasn't born Evan Wilson either.

There is absolutely no way I can be objective about Uhura's Song as it is the very first Star Trek novel that I ever purchased or read, but I absolutely love this novel and it is still in my Top 3 list of Star Trek novels of all time. Yes, the nostalgia factor of it being my first Star Trek novel purchase probably colors my recollections, but I've also reread this book at least a dozen times (or more) since its publication and I have loved it each time.

That's just wonderful.

Beat me to it.

Correct. I think Janet would have kept teasing Evan's real identity if she had done more novels.

Fair enough. My mistake.
