IDIC Epidemic is a good, if somewhat long-winded, book on the importance of diversity and separating parents from the individuality of their children.

They weren't super present in this one, but I really like Jean Lorrah’s Enterprise crew; she makes Kirk the sensitive diplomat I want, Spock the stubborn alien I love, and Bones the dry, capable heart of the Enterprise I need.
On top of which, she gives us happily married, snarky Amanda (all I ever want out of Trek novs is snarky Amanda), moral lynchpin T’Pina, and modern, nuanced villains against the backdrop of an interesting medical mystery.
Loved this particular episode and it’s very Trek-y core message.

A thoroughly enjoyable read that continues where 'The Vulcan Academy Murders' leaves off. While the epidemic is the central plot, there's sufficient going on around it to turn it from an episode into a drama. As always its the characters that make this come alive and keep you coming back.

It's always a relief to read a book after many years and discover that you still love it. :) I am kind of amused by how hard the author works to pair off every non-Enterprise character possible, but then again, I love me some space romance, so it's all good.
