The U.S.S. Enterprise is on a peaceful mission at Starbase 12 when a bizarre cosmic phenomenon causes a Klingon ship to suddenly vanish -- with Spock aboard for the ride. Spock's last message from the Klingon ship is cryptic and frightening. The Klingons are traveling into the past, searching for the one man who holds the key to the furure. If they can kill that man, the course of history will be changed -- and the Federation will be destroyed!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

One of my favorite fun books is a #kindledeal today. @UwannaPublishme weren‘t we going to do a buddy read of this ? 😊

MemoirsForMe Yay! Yes! 😁🖖🏻 I even have a physical copy per your recommendation. Maybe we can plan a buddy read later this month? 4y
TheBookDream I read this a decade and a half ago. I liked it. Those were some wild times in Star Trek publishing lol 4y
rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme Could we make it early next month? I‘m buried under my TBR list. 😂 4y

rubyslippersreads @TheBookDream I can‘t believe it got published, since I‘m pretty sure the two shows featured weren‘t owned by the same company. 😏 4y
MemoirsForMe Even better! 👍🏻 4y
TheBookDream @rubyslippersreads apparently the answer is “without permission” https://fanlore.org/wiki/Ishmael 4y
rubyslippersreads @TheBookDream I guess things used to be looser then. 😄 This is really interesting, but @UwannaPublishme , you might want to save it until after you read the book, to avoid possible spoilers. 4y
MemoirsForMe 😊👍🏻 4y

I don‘t read a lot of sci-fi, but I recently read this Star Trek novel just because it's a crossover with an old favorite TV show, Here Come the Brides.

I couldn‘t find Barbara Hambly's favorite books, but on Goodreads, she lists Wizard of Oz creator L. Frank Baum as one of her influences. #agameoffavorites #poetryorscifi

MemoirsForMe OMG, I think I have to read this! 😂 6y

Ishmael indeed deserves the title of best. It is well-written, well-paced, engaging and simply lovely. The only tiny problem I have is that the part where Spock regains his memory (not a spoiler) could have been 25 words longer, maybe 40. I understand what Hambly was doing, that Spock walks into his memory as walking into a room, but it needed a bit more. My quest to (re)read the most lauded or famous Star Trek tie-in novels nears an end.

I loved this book so much as a teen. Star Trek! Westerns! Time travel! What's not to like?!
To summarise: Spock is catapulted back in time to the USA in the 1860s, but loses his memory in the process. Will the crew left behind work out what happened and rescue him in time?
I only recently discovered that the 1860s set-up Spock ends up in is another TV series. This makes me relish the book even more! (I
