That's awesome! I will take your suggestion on all counts and work it into a revision next time I get my mojo (probably while mowing the lawn which is what happened yesterday).

keep it coming!

Hey, not to nitpick (oh who am I kidding, I love to nitpick), but I' wondering about Uhura's age assessment. I went to www.memory-alpha.org (a Star Trek wiki), and learned that Uhura was born in 2239 and Kirk in 2233. She started serving on the Enterprise in 2266, when she was 27 and Kirk was 33. The V'Ger crisis happens around 2273, when Uhura was 34. Not sure about Decker's age then. I'd guess younger than Uhura, though?

Anyway, rather than rely on your memory, you can always use that wiki to jog your memory ...

Thanks for the visit - you've inspired me to do a little more of it, over the weekend when I have time.

I'm trying to do it from memory rather than ape Roddenberry's novel. Fortunately I could recite two thirds of the movie off the top of my head.

It sounded good so far. Keep going with it!

I'm a big fan of alternate reality fiction. I recently started reading the "Star Trek: Mirror Universe" series of books they're currently publishing, and the first one was pretty good.
