I am somewhat biased since one of the stories in this collection was co-written by myself and Gary Piserchio. But. overall, I am impressed with the quality of the storytelling and the breadth of the narratives. I feel we are in good company!

All of the stories were excellent. I just wish the publisher had seen fit to include blurbs about the authors!

While I found "The Manhunt Pool", " The Dreamer and the Dream" and "Life Among the Posts-Industrial Barbarians" very interesting reads "Upon the Brink of Rememberance" left an extremely bad taste in my mouth and I can't bring myself to give this anthology anything more than 3 stars. The bitter Betty in me can't stand shit that even hints at the travesty (I personally think it was a crime against humanity.) that was Endgame. No thank you.

A nice collection of stories
A nice collection of stories. Some were a little more dependent on the reader's knowledge of a particular series than others, but the writing was first rate!

Enjoyable time spent in the Star Trek universe with various characters from all the series. These are stories written by the fans. They are well written and insightful.

Good but not great...
Completely ignored "Enterprise", and I would have liked to have Seema crossover story. The final Voyager story was a bit of a letdown...
