   I just discovered and read the TOS novel First Frontier by Dr. James    
   Kirkland and Diane Carey.  I decided to give it a shot because I really    
   enjoyed two of Diane Carey's other TOS novels, Dreadnought and its sequel,    
   Battlestations!

   I enjoyed the story a great deal, it was fast paced and had a couple of    
   unexpected plot twists that kept me guessing, well worth the $5.69 it cost    
   me.  Had I been in Kirks position I don't know that I would have followed    
   the same pathway he took, but the way the book went was well enough in the    
   plausible character of the Captain especially with the extenuating    
   circumstances to explain any off key notes in the portrayal of his actions.   
      
   Has anyone else read it?  If so what did you think?
