This review is from: Time for Yesterday (Star Trek, No 39) (Mass Market Paperback)

this is another one of my fave books. Truly delves so much better in the relationship of Zar and who he is and his relationship with Spock then Yesterday's Son did. Shows really how both have grown and accepted who they are...it is a must read, especially if you are a fan of Spock

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of "Time For Yesterday", July 17, 2002

This review is from: Star Trek Time For Yesterday (Star Trek: The Original Series) (Audio Cassette)

This is an excellent "Star Trek" book, a sequel to Star Trek #11, "Yesterday's Son", which was itself a sequel to the original series episode, "All Our Yesterdays". "Yesterday's Son" was good, if not spectacular. This book is much better; one assumes that the author has matured a bit as a writer in the interim. It utilizes a plot device that is unduly common: Kirk & the Enterprise must save the entire universe. But unlike most books that use such a device, this one actually manages to make it more or less plausible, and handles the concept well. Further, the characters are well-written, and the language is handled with a smooth competence unusual in mass-market paperbacks. The plot moves well, and the book accomplishes all that it sets out to.

Excellent read for the Star Trek fan, and probably worthwhile for the casual reader, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic from a great author, March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Time For Yesterday (Star Trek: The Original Series) (Paperback)

The sequel to Yesterday's Son by the same author, and even better than its prequel. Spock and Zar are reunited when the Guardian of Forever stops working properly and causes time waves that make time move fast enough to kill stars - and so also the planets around them. Spock, McCoy and Kirk go back to the past to find Zar so he can return with them and mind meld with the Guardian to tell it to return its consciousness to the 23rd century and resume its duties. Spock goes back shortly before Zar's death, hoping to bring him back for good, but Zar is determined to go back to his own people and his new wife to fight the battle that killed him. It's a wonderful story that goes from fun to heart wrenching to just plain loveable. We get to see a dimension of Spock that was never explored on the show, and for once in a Star Trek book the emphasis isn't on Kirk's postulating. I loved this book, I urge everyone to buy it!
