Finished Reading IV
Ishmael - Barbara Hambly
The plot's a cliche even in terms of Star Trek (it's basically a slight re-working of Harlan Ellison's City on the Edge of Forever) but the author cheerfully makes it clear that she knows that and turns out a very enjoyable TOS romp which - for once - actually seems like it might have fitted nicely into the TV series. Cameos by the Second and Fourth Doctors and an oblique reference to the Time Lords gain the book a few extra brownie points.
