Rather, I should say that I've finished reading what Preston's written so far, but it's a work in progress.

His pace seems a little too fast to be plausible. I mistakenly wrote that it jumps off from today, but actually, change starts in 1947 and moves so rapidly that Earth is a starfaring society before the turn of the century. That seems a stretch, and he makes it look too easy, I think, by not accounting for all the geopolitical friction that gums up the real world.

As for how he disposes of the two known future Trek timelines, well, I won't spoil it, except to say that he dodges the whole issue by unexpectedly cross-threading an entirely different fictional universe. Unfortunately, in what's written so far, he's barely developed that connection, so it seems a bit gratuitous and "flat"...so far.

I'd say that, overall, I was disappointed, but maybe that's because "The Black and the Grey" set a high standard. LGM wasn't bad, but it didn't grab me as much as the first one.

I'm going to continue to graze at the site. Stay tuned....
