McCoy: The Provenance Of Shadows by David R. George III

4.0

I'm knocking just one star off this really excellent novel because for most of the novel I kept asking myself just where it was going. The events of McCoy's life are presented in almost painstaking detail. Beginning during the Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever", [b:McCoy: The Provenance Of Shadows|17255|McCoy The Provenance Of Shadows (Star Trek Crucible, #1)|David R.

In one, McCoy is prevented from saving the life of Edith Keeler and returns to Enterprise just as happened in the episode. In the second timeline, McCoy succeeds in saving Edith's life and thereby changes history. It was an excellent look at the characterization of McCoy and I really enjoyed reading the story behind the story we already know as well as the "What might have been"
