    Diane Duane was also the author of a not-great-but-decent series of “young wizards” books a decade or so prior to Harry Potter.

    But I can’t forgive her for the fact that in “Spock’s World,” she has Kirk give a speech to an all-Vulcan audience — that responds with appreciative laughter to his jokes!

    Dark Mirror in December 1993, an attempt to adapt the Mirror Universe to Star Trek: The Next Generation that was promptly ignored and deprecated by “Crossover” six months later.

    What really got me was the 2007 novel Q&A, where a series of single paragraph jumps to alternate universes gives us a brief glimpse of the ISS Enterprise-E in a universe where the Earth Empire never fell … and somehow has time to establish that that can’t be the Dark Mirror universe either. (Lore is the first officer in Q&A, but in Dark Mirror Soong was killed before he could build any androids.)

    Clearly one expects the Romans would not have been slenderized so had Duane been there to oversee things from the most timely starting stage. Best Essay Service I concur with is and I get parcel of data from this blog entry. I will come back again to this site.
