"Star Trek" Novel Dedicated to Cindy Sheehan
Pocket Books ^

Posted on 04/23/2006 3:40:21 PM PDT by YourAdHere

I was in Borders tonight when I noticed the latest Star Trek novel, entitled "Last Full Measure." I admit to being a trekkie, and I know that the themes have always been very liberal. But I do like to read the stories.

This book however, I won't be buying, since one of the authors dedicated the book to Cindy Sheehan, for her tireless efforts (and I'm paraphrasing here) against the unjust administration and the unjust war that it has brought on in Iraq. I quickly decided that Pocket Books just cost themselves a sale.

Just thought I'd pass this along to fellow Trekkie freepers.

Hey Pod. Don't know. But I won't be buying the book. I used to love Star Trek, in all its forms.

Hard to tell. There are certain resemblences, though...

But wasn't destroying the Borg at the end of Voyager a slant towards being un-PC???

Star Trek made a big mistake by going backwards in time with their series. They would have been better off doing a massive war between an alliance of the alpha, beta and Gamma quadrant vs the Borg, and turning it into a show.
