Good diversion from the usual Trek story with lots of background on Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln and their manipulation of mankind. Good blend of actual history too. While not my favorite book by a long shot (that would be Q-In-Law), it was a fun read. After the way Gary Seven fooled Kirk in that one episode, it was good to see him get beat up a bit in this story while also seeing loyal and typical smart blonde, Roberta Lincoln, go through some hijinks herself while saving his bacon. Don't forget Isis, the black cat as she plays an important role that both exposes more of her powers and yet adds to the mystery surrounding her. Kirk and crew do not appear much in book one after the first chapter, but the second book brings them into the story to participate in the hijinks to redirect mankind's sometimes misguided direction. All in all, a fun romp.
