“As a matter of fact, Spock is now the only Starfleet Science Officer who’s managed to tickle a star and get away with it,” Kirk replied with a smile.
The Abode of Life, Lee Correy (G. Harry Stine)
#The Abode of Life
Still on Abode of Life and Jim is leading a landing party on an alien planet, where the humanoid species thinks they’re the only ones in the galaxy and don’t believe Jimothy. Anyway everyone in the party (Jim, Bones, Scotty, Rand) have their phasers, communicators and tricorders and Jim is recording a log, mentioning “stardate unknown” and I know I’m harping on an early 80s book based off of a 60s tv show but…
There is no way that their tricorders don’t have the exact date listed in there.
JESUS SULU, colonialist much?!
Jim. JIM. Literally your opening monologue for Star Trek is “Its 5 year mission: to Explore strange new worlds….”
(Yes, FASA and old technical manuals referred to the Enterprise as a heavy cruiser)
(Could have been fixed by replacing exploration ship with science vessel.)
(Yes I’m harping on a novel that’s about as old as I am)
