Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan was the first book I downloaded to my kindle app the day I got my phone. :) I first read it in 1995 after picking it up in a bookstore in NYC and it remains one of my very favorite Star Trek stories! What did you think of it?

Well...

Understand that I've only read maybe three Star Trek books in my life. However, I adore Hellspark and I also adored Janet, so I was willing to give Uhura's Song a try. I liked it; I will probably not re-read it every nine-months-or-year like I do, say, The War for the Oaks, or, indeed, Hellspark, but it was perfectly fine as a story. I'm sorry, in a way that Janet didn't get to write another one with her trickster character, but, then, I'm sorry that Janet didn't write more in general. . .
