A wonderful novel that added depth to Doctor McCoy's history and what made him the man he was when he became CMO on the Enterprise.  A well thought out story, that played to the strengths of the characters.  Enjoyed the first person perspective of McCoy, and seeing his inner struggles/demons come to play as he had to deal with the results of the spatial distortion.  A highly recommended read for anyone who is a fan of Dr. McCoy.  
(The secondary plot with Kirk & the away team wasn't as well thought out and should have been left out.)
