Voyages of Imagination: The Star Trek Fiction Companion (Star Trek) by Kim Sheard, Jeff Ayers
irate59's review
5.0
If you read the novels, any of them, then this companion and guide will be very helpful.
Frankly it's helpful even if you haven't read many, and will encourage you to read more.
If you're like me though, and just haven't re-read some of the older novels recently, then this will help paint a picture of the timelines and continuing stories between the various novels, short stories and other related books.
I find SFTC invaluable when picking up a storyline thread after a few years away from an author or planet.
Many book were enjoyable as stand alone stories, and yet the ST Fiction Companion will help you put them into meaningful arcs, and lovingly interwoven histories.
Also, for newer fans of written Star Trek, this volume will help you choose which novels to add to your collection or just read.
Bottom Line: If you are a trek fan and read, this is one MUST HAVE reference.
