==From the Editorial==
The editor included a questionnaire on the last page: "Kindly take a moment to complete it so that the next issue, and the novels, can be better." 
There was an announcement about three upcoming novels, none of which came to be, at least under these descriptions: "1. 'J.D. Banner': 'A revolutionary discovery, a diplomatic hotbed, a rogue, and an eccentric provide Kirk, Spock, and McCoy with an 'excedrin headache' as they attempt to carry out their mission. Planned for Winter '84 from Crissandra Scott.' 2. 'Framework': 'An ordinary rescue mission becomes complicated by Starfleet policies and Spock's personal dilemma. An alternate, post-V'Ger novel.' 3. 'Eminence Griese': "The Enterprise crew becomes entangled in a game of deadly intrigue when their path crosses a Kai team's."
