Everyone poopooing this novelization, why?? There is so much more story in this. There are unpackings of character traits, motivations, and so many details wonderfully described. And Gates is always excellent. Well done, Dillard! I'm glad you were brought on to write this one.
I love it when the stars read the books. The Star Trek IV The Voyage Home, as read by George Takei is hilarious when he is trying to do Scotty's voice!!!
I remember when in early Southpark group of aliens landed on Earth, wanting to establish first contact.. They´ve encountered lions as the representative creatures. Lions ate them.. I mean, greeted them in the most energetic way they´ve could.
