My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good, clear and basic advice.

This is only the start - we're signed up for a half-marathon in September, and this is my first foray into specific instruction. On the way there, there will be 10Ks and 5Ks... all with that half-marathon waiting. We'll see how it turns out.

The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre

The Entropy Effect (Star Trek, #2)The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Excellent! Complex, thoughtful and unbound Trek.

This early Trek novel (1981!) captures the TOS crew and ship, and is unbound by all the details of film and subsequent novels. McIntyre is free to create excellent characters and situations, a thoughtful puzzle and more. Not the first time I've read this one - and probably won't be the last.
