Nothing beats the classic Star Trek crew! Shadows on the Sun (Star Trek: The Original Series) by Michael Jan Friedman is a fantastic read and helped break the frustration of the TNG novels. The more I read about the TNG novel the more I want to stop this challenge. My lord there are some terrible stories out there, not to mention the editing on some of these things. You’d have a great story line and then the editor just FUBARs everything.. Or should I say Kobayashi Maru?
As a young doctor with a beautiful family and a promising medical career, Dr. Leonard McCoy thought he had it all. But when the woman he loved betrayed him, McCoy fled to Starfleet, hoping to lose his pain in the depths of space. Now, more than forty years later, the Enterprise and her crew are ordered to transport a group of mediators to the planet Ssan, a world where assassination is a time-honored tradition, and McCoy is surprised to learn that his ex-wife, now remarried, is one of the mediators. And before he can come to terms with his conflicted feelings for his former love, she and Captain Kirk are trapped on Susan, and McCoy is caught in an explosive civil war, the only one with the power to save the woman who once nearly destroyed him.
Shadows on the Sun (Star Trek: The Original Series) starts off with a young Dr. Leonard McCoy and his family. Now just a note; this book taking place after the 4th Star Trek moviea and the main focus is on McCoy. Personally I couldn’t be happier with this book 🙂 It goes deep into McCoy’s past and saw us the events that take place the makes the Doctor we all know and love. There are 3 story lines in this book and it starts off with diplomatic mission of Alpha Gederix VI in which his ex-wife and her new husband are involved. The 2nd once goes more into the events and time he spent on Ssan during the war against Li Moboron. Then verything ties together in the third which is more of the climax of the novel and you get to see how McCoy pulls himself together and prevails after all the tragedy.
I highly recommend this book to anyone. Rent it, buy it, just read it! It’s one of the few books that’ll make you laugh, cry and worry about & for the character.

Now this is a sequel to Yesterday’s Son. So if you haven’t read that, you should read that first and sstop reading this post do to SPOILERS! The story line and the interactions between Spock, Kirk and McCoy are classes and heart warming. This book really felt like seeing an old family come back together one last time. There are some weak points, especially concerning the structure of the plot. Events seem somewhat erratic at times and the novel goes through multiple disorienting shifts in direction. I would go out read this book if you get the chance. Well read the first one and then read this one haha.
Time in the galaxy has stopped running in its normal course. That can mean only one thing — the Guardian of Forever is malfunctioning. To save the universe, Starfleet Command reunites three of its most legendary figures — Admiral James T. Kirk, Spock of Vulcan, and Dr. Leonard McCoy — and sends them on a desperate mission to contact the Guardian, a journey that ultimately takes them 5,000 years into the past. They must find Spock’s son Zar once again, and bring him back to their time to telepathically communicate with the Guardian.
But Zar is enmeshed in troubles of his own, and soon Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find themselves in a desperate struggle to save both his and their world. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
