Query: Rambling and unmemorable

Regrettably, during the golden age of Star Trek novels of the 1980s, this was the only one I was unable to finish, having put it down after only 80 pages. The main characters seemed unfocused and poorly drawn, having been overtaken by unnecessary secondary characters. The prose was rambling, with the author taking much too long to get into the meat of the story. A shame, with several shining torches like Diane Duane's "The Wounded Sky" having been published around the same time, that this snoozer should slip by the editors. It's should never have made it beyond self-published fanfic.
