From the Zine
Foreward [sic]: I decided to call this Star Trek novel Pitchforks and Pointed Ears, in honor of a quote from Dr. McCoy, from the episode "Obsession," and I hope that you don't find it too cute.In Pitchforks and Pointed Ears, I wanted to give readers what I've loved most in the Star Trek novels I have read and enjoyed best: familiar favorite aliens, not newly-invented ones we've never heard of before; in-joke references to real Star Trek episodes; and camaraderie among the major characters. In addition, I believe that fans have fantasies about the main characters. In the Star Trek novels I've liked best, it was clear that some of those fantasies were being enacted. The writer was indulging his or her own Star Trek dreams. In Pitchforks and Pointed Ears, I present my own. Perhaps they will parallel yours. If so, I sincerely hope that they will add to your enjoyment. Prologue:
You will note from the carefully chosen Stardates, that this novel takes place immediately after the end of the third season of Star Trek, and well before any of the Star Trek movies.
