Those three threads are woven together with elements, references, and in-jokes from throughout the Star Trek screen and literary universes, as Bennett so often does in his books. It\u2019s also interesting when reading these more recently written books that are able to find ways to drop in references to the newer shows. All in all, another good adventure with some really neat approaches to tying together previously unrelated parts of Trek history in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Me holding The Higher Frontier\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-51351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3008-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#x1f4da;: &#x2b50;&#xfe0f;&#x2b50;&#xfe0f;&#x2b50;&#xfe0f;&#x2b50;&#xfe0f;: Another good adventure with some really neat approaches to tying together previously unrelated parts of Trek history in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2047],"tags":[5739,4097,1588],"class_list":["post-51350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-star-trek","tag-christopher-l-bennett","tag-star-trek","tag-tos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51350"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51446,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51350\/revisions\/51446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
