 JPH>         There are a certain number of good Trek Authors,  (Diane Duane,
 JPH> Peter David etc.)  But there are many more mediocre ones and even bad
 JPH> ones.
I fail completely to see where Peter David has gotten his reputation from.  
He's really only an average SF writer.  True, he's head and shoulders above 
the sad examples who write most of what Pocket fobs off on us as Trek books, 
but compared to other SF authors he's, well, just kinda OK.  Time to read 
some *REAL* SF authors, people.  R.A. Heinlein, A.C. Clarke, James Blish, 
Isaac Asimov, Ted Sturgeon, David Drake, Harry Harrison, David Weber, Robert 
Sawyer, Harry Turtledove...
