A review by emheld
The Ashes of Eden by Judith Reeves-Stevens, William Shatner, Garfield Reeves-Stevens

3.75 is the current average, and I think that's fitting. It's a fun swashbuckling Kirk story by way of midlife crisis, with a fine B-story intrigue featuring the rest of the TOS crew, in various roles.

You can definitely feel its influence in later Trek stories (like Insurrection or chunks of Picard season 1). An enjoyable kick-off to the "Odyssey " trilogy and Shatnerverse as a whole.
