Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan

4.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this return to TOS. I used to read Trek novels all the time, and I don't really know when/why I stopped. This is a classic Roddenberry era story. Cat people, a killer virus, and Uhura saves the day with a song. (Not exactly, but close enough.) There is great sci-fi anthropology and a planet with an unpronounceable name. There is a new character, a female doctor, who is a classic Mary Sue, and I don't care. It is perhaps longer than it needs to be to tell the story, but this was old-school fun and makes me want to revisit some of my favorites like Kobayashi Maru and Enterprise.
