Nov 1991- Star Trek The Rift- Spock and Number One, Ideas for Strange New Worlds?

Published: Nov. 4, 2021, 5:27 p.m.

Strange New Worlds will be a new Star Trek show coming out in 2022 about the crew of Pike and his Enterprise pre-Kirk. I found this book, nominated for a 1992 Prometheus Award, called The Rift by Peter David. It is a Brigadoon type of story but has fun little insights into the friendship of Number One and Spock. I wonder how much the writers for the new shows, use these old books for inspiration. Part 2 will be about Kirk and his crew dealing with The Rift. How did this book get nominated for a libertarian science fiction award?
