Book Reviews of Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows (Star Trek)

Book Review: Crucible Trilogy: McCoy
Summary: 5 Stars

The first Trilogy book written, to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, focuses on Dr. Leonard McCoy a.k.a. "Bones". I was curious to read this given that we share the same last name. The Trilogy uses the common thread of the ST:TOS episode, "The City on the Edge of Forever". This was the first book, in the Trilogy, that I was reading and, at first, I found it slightly confusing. Once I figured out the structure of the story, (think "parallel universe/alternate timeline"), then it finally made sense. Without giving too much away, the impression the story gave me was the question: "What if.....?" I would highly recommend this book and suggest reading this first before reading the second and third books, (Spock, then Kirk), in the order they were written. I feel confident that you would enjoy this.

Summary of Crucible: McCoy: Provenance of Shadows (Star Trek)

David R. George's Crucible Trilogy explores the legacy of one pivotal, crucial moment in the lives of the men at the heart of Star Trek -- what led them to it, and to each other, and how their destinies were intertwined.

For Doctor Leonard McCoy, life takes two paradoxically divergent paths. In one, displaced in time, he saves a woman from dying in a traffice accident, and in doing so alters Earth's history. Stranded in the past, he struggles to find a way back to his own century. But living an existence he was not meant to, he will eventually have to move on, and ultimately face the shadows born of his lost life.

In the other, he is prevented from saving the woman's life, allowing Earth's history to remain unchanged. Returning to the present, he is nonetheless haunted by the echoes of an existence he never lived, and by fears which will bring him full circle to the shadows he never faced.
