The Final Reflection by John M. Ford
5.0
Bit of an oddity - a Star Trek Novel that I'd recommend more to non fans than fans.
Star Trek changed a lot since this fairly early novel was written, so the culture of the Federation, Romulans, and most especially the Klingons - the novel follows the rise of a young Klingon warrior - has changed totally. Strip out the odd structured book within a book framing chapters, as the Original Series era crew read the historical bestseller that forms the main story, the interlude with young spock that doesn't effect the main plot and change the trek species names and it would just seem like a non franchised sci fi novel, a little like a lightweight version of Iain M Bank's Player Of Games. High praise from me.
