The guy who played scotty wrote a three-book series with S.M. Stirling.

You know how in some books you can just tell both authors are just itching to get the book going the way they wanted? Reading that one was like reading a tug-of-war. Everytime SMS came up with a new way to make the aliens menacing, What's-His-Name came up with a new way to make the aliens friendly.

It was funny, in a I-Hope-Neither-Of-These-Guys-Does-A-Series-Together-Ever-Again kinda way. (At least not unless they figure out how to solve these differences of creative opinion, because it was well-written)

Anyway, I babble.

I stay well clear of those things. Their only purpose is to cash in on a celebrity name. I do like Richard Dreyfuss and Harry Turtledoves collaboration however (now if only I could get around to finishing it)
