This is a fun one! The characterizations of Kirk, Spock and McCoy are excellent. The plot is simple and there is no weird pseudo-science or magic to pull the reader out. For a Star Trek novel, this is excellent.
One of those short reads that's is a slog to get through. Spock is characterized well. Bones is stretched a bit for the sake of the plot. Elements of the story would have fit in well with the TOS. It feels a bit like "The World is Hollow" meets "Fridays Child" meets "Galileo 7". But the business with this crown needed to save some planet... zzzzz.... Crazy how overly sexualized women are in these novels, too. Uhura barely makes an appearance, yet her "voluptuous body" needs to be described to the reader. Lol

It reads like an episode of Star Trek with twists and turns and exciting. Worth the whole $1 I paid at HPB.

An entertaining re-read.

I love this because it focuses on Dr. McCoy. What I like least about it is the whole Fantasy Fiction feel. It was my absolute favorite when I first started reading Trek novels in the 80s.
I thought one major part of the book, McCoy's relationship with Kailyn, was unnecessary. It was just weird. I was much more interested in the race for the crown. That part of the plot is worth reading the book for, but I won't read it again because the McCoy midlife crisis part was so poorly written.
