The Entropy Effect
by Vonda N. McIntyre
This one was quite fun, definitely one of the better early Star Trek novels. Lots of new and interesting characters that I truly would like to see again, plus a Sulu side-story that had me worried for a while!
The time travel was just convoluted enough to be fun, and even the main original character that comes across clearly as the author's avatar was likable rather than insufferable, as is often the case.
It always startles me how much free love is written into the Star Trek universe in these early novels, far more than we ever get hint of in any series or film. I'd like to see more of these human love enclaves casually referenced in the canon, rather than only ever hearing of "unconventional" romantic arrangements as "normal" within other species, while humans look on in horror, as if nothing but monogamy had ever occurred to them.
But I digress. My point is, this novel is one of the good ones for early Trek stories. I'd read it again for sure.
