3 interesting stories
This novella reminded me of the TNG episode "family". The three main stories cover Sulu, Spock and Kirk as each one goes home after the events during the V'ger encounter. I felt the Sulu story was the weakest it just didn't feel right. The Kirk story had some good character moments in it, and the Spock story had a scene in it that reminded me of the end of The Voyage Home with the scene between Sarek and Spock. It's a quick enjoyable read. If you like novels set after the events of the motion picture I would also check out the novel Ex Machina just note that some of the events in that book conflict with the stories in this one.
Post-TMP TOS gets a TNG-Style "Family" Story
Remember the TNG episode right after "The Best of Both Worlds", where Picard goes back to France, we see Worf's parents, Wesley sees his Dad on the Holodeck, etc.? Well, this is a post-TMP version of that -- nicely written, wonderfully set up, and an overall enjoyable read.
