Collectingtrek.ca has added a new review for James Gunn‘s “Star Trek: 80 The Joy Machine”:
I have been trying to rediscover the Star Trek novels I loved as a teen. Why only trying? Because, so far, they have not been very good. I have started more than I have finished. I recently read the novelization of The Joy Machine. It was written by James Gunn, based on a story outline Ted Sturgeon submitted during the second season of Star Trek. I have a copy of that outline and I was curious what Gunn had done with it. (I also own Sturgeon’s outline for Amok Time, from his own typewriter.) The cover of The Joy Machine pitch, a typed page with only a few words on it. The cover of The Joy Machine novel, showing Kirk looking resolute. Sadly, the novelization is just not good. To be fair, Sturgeon’s outline was a little weak, too. We’ll start with that.
