Title: The return of Morgan Bateson!
Review: Ever wanted to know in detail the events that led upto how Morgan Bateson and his crew got trapped in the time-loop and spit them out in the 24th century? Well this book opens with a superb job in filling in those blanks and building the background of the characters for their ill fated journey.It was especially nice to see how a displaced captain and crew, once believed to be lost, deal with their new surroundings including aged families, new technologies, and wars resolved. Also placing their (the crewmates that is) mindset into the timeline of Jean-Luc Picard and his crew.It also built up the role of what a real Star Fleet 'Hero' is, not the typical outlandish missions Kirk or Picard carved out in history, but an older man, trying to prove himself out of sheer loyalty to his crew and uniform.The interaction of the Klingon plotlines was done exceptionally well, and was very amusing at times.A great novel wishing this was made into a tv episode!
