it’s definitely not a high point for the bantam star trek books, and honestly i would recommend skipping it

A highly surprising ending makes this book am excellent addition to any library. The idea behind dops is ingenious and a curious future should the idea prove a reality.

The incredulity of the story line was partially ameliorated by several clever twists. It even became quite funny, albeit, non-intentionally.

The book is marred greatly by the sexist attitudes and awful treatment of Ensign George. Aside from that major problem, the scenes of dialogue between Kirk and McCoy are well handled and faithful to the characters. Also both Scotty and Chekhov are in character here as well. The concept that Spock has been contaminated by the mind of a delusional messiah gets old after awhile, unfortunately. Due to his take-over this book has hardly any characterization of Spock that anyone would recognize, and for much of the action he is off stage.

Unabashedly sexist and equally awful, I finished this in case there was a plot I could use in a Star Trek RPG. Worse than most fan fiction. Not recommended.
I had purchased a few of the Bantam line (which came out before the numbered Pocketbook series), but not this one, which for some reason was hard to find. Did not read it when I did find it - just couldn't spare two hours. Now that I have - I'll only keep it for completeness.
