This is one of those special novels, like "Articles of the Federation", that are very much Star Trek, but also sit a bit to the side of the main storylines. With a focus on mid 20th century Earth and the UFO craze and conspiracy, it has not a lot to do with 23rd century space action, though the Enterprise does play a role or two as well. The way the author is weaving all the time travel episodes involving Earth from various Trek shows together, adding some new aliens, and including historic military projects as well, is wonderful and a lot of fun. I enjoyed it greatly.
