   Intersting  point here; there are non canon Trek novels which are FAR better   
   than the unbearable twadlle perpetrated by the likes of Braga. I am   
   infitnely more keen on  well written books than on some spurious cleaving to   
   "canon".   
      
   I care far more anout the  kind of character assasination and out of whack   
   nonsense dissemintaed by some "universe" creators. By hwich I mean they   
   create a character, the back story, whole thing - and then make said   
   charactter do something uttertly nonsnesical. And these  are their *own*   
   creations, for heavn's sake.

   Bugger me. Are they? Damn.
