Black Fire by Sonni Cooper
5.0
Objectively speaking, this book is terrible. It might even be one of the worst Star Trek books ever written, in the same realm as Spock's Brain and Tuvix. It's that bad.
That being said, I picked this up when I was 11, and I LOVED IT. This is why I don't judge people for enjoying crap like Twilight. My Twilight is Spock solving an interstellar mystery while being injured and kept as a "pet" by a rich alien woman, being wrongfully thrown into a Federation prison where he kicks ass and makes a new Romulan bestie, and dressing up a in shimmery black outfit while playing the part of the mysterious space pirate, Black Fire. There's even a ridiculous poem. It's unlikely. It's rampantly OOC. It's doesn't fit into the continuity at all. But almost 2 decades later, I still have my copy of Black Fire on my shelf and it's not going anywhere. It's absurdly fun! Thank you Sonni Cooper, you're the best!
