June Book Discussion: The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane

in Heaven
James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are chosen to test a new intergalactic drive that will take them far from Federation space. Unknown to them, the drive causes tears in reality, which have surprising effects on the crew’s psychology and physiology, increasing the further they go. In the end they come to face to face with something that appears to be a g/God, and how they deal with this encounter will affect the safety and welfare of two universes—including their own.

Finished re-reading it yesterday, and now happily working my way through her Star Trek 'Romulan' books. Last night I got to my favourite speech in The Wounded Sky, the one about games (you'll know it when you reach it).
Must pass the book over to @Sandemaniac to read!
We’re doing okay—Mr Lamb is pulling weeds out here in California while apparently another tornado is tearing through St Louis, or so says my phone alert. Hope our people and our house will be okay.
I wasn't a big fan so never read any of the books, but my parents' best friends were fans so I remember watching the TV show at their place sometimes. I don't consciously remember much, except that Spock was my favourite character, but my subconscious must have absorbed some information as the universe is fairly familiar to me.
I have just got to the part where the crew have started to have odd psychological experiences and think I must have watched the episode related to the book as it seems really familiar. Unless they had a similar event in Red Dwarf, which I did watch a lot of in the 1990s and early 2000s.
I'm envious. I was CONVINCED this book was in our house, but we did re-organize shelves recently and my husband put all the Star Trek books on the same shelf and it's NOT THERE. Will try to obtain it otherwise, but I still can't believe we don't have it.
