Star trek, the new voyages Book

I'm never quite sure how to rate short stories collections because there's almost always some that I love and some that I'm not very fond of.

I was initially going to give this a 3 but I pushed it to 4 because of the intros from the cast that came along with each story. I found them very interesting and very touching and, in my opinion, they worth your time even if you're not into the rest of the stories.

I've seen a lot of people saying in their reviews that this book felt like a collection of fanfiction and a fair share of them mean that in a negative and sorta demeaning way.
I'm here to say that as far as I'm concerned the fact that a lot of them felt like fanfiction is one of the reasons why I enjoyed it so much. You can feel these writers' love and respect for the characters and the universe they're playing with and that's always a good thing in my book. Besides, I never thought that 'feels like fanfiction' automatically translates to 'badly written'.

"Ni-Var", "The Winged Dreamers" and "Mind-Sifter" were some of my favourites in the book but I also have a soft spot for "The Face on the Barroom Floor" cause it made me chuckle a lot.
