(Book Two) In Star Trek: TOS episode "A Piece of the Action" Kirk unified the Iotians, a people who have modeled themselves after twentieth century American Gangsters, into a one world government. Because of that unification of power, and technology accidentally left behind by McCoy, the Iotians have improved their "Game" and are demanding a piece of Star Fleet's actions. Subplot, the race known as the Preservers, who established the Native American on Miramee's planet, are conducting experiments on the Iotian population.

Well, I finished the book. I'm sticking with my original assessment: too much filler (via lyrics) and the whole Roddenberry, Shatner, Oprah, et all thing just didn't work. While I appreciate paying homage to the significant people in trek, I don't think that this was the way to do it. It was too obvious and really didn't fit. The same with including all of the lyrics. John: did ya just need to fill space? I think that this also took away from the overall story.
I am about 2/3 through this book. So far, I am of mixed opinions. While I like the Preserver subplot, I really don't like the whole Roddenberry (sacrilege!!) part and the references to current people (or, their counterpart) on Iotia. Also, adding all of the lyrics to the musical references seems like John just needed something to fill the pages. I just flip past these parts. I will update my review once I have finished the book.
There is a new edition of this available by the author... Correcting errors. I hope to have book four ready to publish online here shortly, but am willing to share it. Thanks again, everyone!
