![]() ![]() ![]() I love the focus on Uhura, the character development, the emphasis on song and culture and taboo and historical conflict and courage. Uhura’s secret songs may hold the key to a cure - but the clues are veiled in layers of mystery. Enterprise is orbiting Eeiauo in a desperate race to save the inhabitants before a deadly plague destroys them. The two women exchanged songs and promised never to reveal their secret. Uhura befriended a diplomat from Eeiauo, the land of graceful, cat-like beings. Uhura’s Song – A number of people have described this as one of the best Star Trek novels ever. I’m a fan of all three, and fully recommend them. Sadly, she only produced three novel-length works. She won the 1993 Hugo award for her novelette “ The Nutcracker Coup.” She was also kind enough to offer me advice and encouragement when I was starting out. Her work was full of heart and love and warmth, and I always feel better after reading them. I posted on Facebook that I’d begun reading Janet Kagan’s Hellspark to my son, and a number of people said they hadn’t heard of the book, or they’d heard of it but hadn’t read it. ![]()
