"Yesterday's Son" by A.C. CrispinRating: ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣
I usually don't like original characters in tie-in novels but Zar was amazing. Actually, he was so amazing that if there was a book just about him and his adventures, I would read it! But the ending made me cry. I literally bawled like a child. I mean, I was happy for Zar, I was happy that he found a purpose in his life and that Spock understood and let him go. At the same time... just remembering the last scene, the pictures Zar left to Spock... And yup, I'm bawling again.
This was, hands down, one of the best ST tie-in novels that I've read so far.
