A couple more thoughts on this Federation history:
1) fucking Malcolm Reed makes captain? And he expected to roll up and big dog the Organians?!
2) convergent evolution already exists on planet Earth, I don't think it's that radical to think it could exist across planets (the extent it exists with the humanoids does seem unlikely)
In a book full of drawings, this page was a real lol

If you go into books like this expecting greatness, you'll end up disappointed. But if you just need a fun diversion, this one works. A bit predictable, but fast paced and good if you enjoyed the show.

Reading this article about predicting the Pulitzer for Fiction and so proud of myself for having read 2 of the 6 mentioned as favorites of the guy who wrote the article. AND! I‘ve read 8 of the 10 listed as predictions. (And I have at least heard of the other two…)
LOL - the winner OF COURSE didn‘t get a mention, but was on a long list for Natl Book Award: Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips 👏
Link will be dropped into comments.
pickIn 1848, Captain John Franklin & his crew went missing whilst searching for the Northwest Passage - a route between the Atlantic & the Pacific oceans deep within the Canadian Arctic. If you've ever read 'The Terror' by Dan Simmons, the book was based on that journey. In 2008 comedian & sometime actor, Billy Connolly, completed a 10-week voyage to the area for a TV series & this book is the resulting accompaniment. (continued)
