Review: good read for hungry Trekkers

A science fiction (space opera) short story, set in a sort of Star Trek world, possibly closer to the original animated series than any of the others. There's a human captain with a mixed alien crew (some talk of genetic or biological engineering in the background), a little starship taking on the bad guys (a much bigger merchant ship turned slaver), with nacelles and a sort of star drive, and if the author had thrown in a tribble, I'd've laughed. There were even two high-ranking officers arguing. As a former Trekker, I felt right at home here.The captain's leap in logic at the climax felt a bit stretched, but hey, I guess that's why he's in the center seat and I'm not. All in all, it's a good, well written, well edited, well proofed romp. Thanks for the read, Ms Hogarth.
