More like this

The Next Generation, as reimagined by literary giants who never touched it: chapters spoof Stephen King, Kurt Vonnegut, Anne Rice, and other American greats, including "The Crusher in the Rye" (not by J.D. Salinger) and "Trek-22" (not by Joseph Heller). Steven R. Boyett's collection is a send-up for readers who want their Star Trek filtered through the literary canon.
