Product Description:
Years ago, Lieutenant Uhura befriended a diplomat from Eeiauo, a land of graceful, catlike beings. The two women exchanged forbidden songs and promised never to reveal their secret.
Now the Starship Enterprise™ must race to save the Eeiauoans before a deadly plague destroys them all. Uhura's secret songs may hold the key to a cure, but the clues are veiled in layers of mystery. The plague is killing humans, threatening other planets -- and Kirk must crack the code before the Enterprise succumbs!

I'm pretty sure that I own every Star Trek novel, every generation, and Uhura's song is by far my favorite. This author is talented beyond belief. All of the characters are people who I wish I could actually meet some day, whether human, Vulcan or feline. And as much as I adore Star Trek's main crew, it's lovely to find a book that is not a Kirk/Spock/McCoy showcase. All three are still there of course, and wonderfully portrayed. But in this novel Uhura gets to shine in all of her beautiful splendor. ... Read More

The most egregious "Mary Sue" Trek book on record, "Uhura's Song" presages some of the more extravagant fan-fiction missives by putting the author, the late Janet Kagan, into the narrative as the puckish Dr. Evan Wilson. Wilson dominates the story, solving every crisis, somehow knowing the solution to every dilemma, and generally leading the entire Trek crew around by the nose.

" ... also a well written 'Return of the Tail-Kinker' story is long overdue and would be greatly appreciated!".
I too asked Ms. Kagan about this possibility when I met her at a Science Fiction Convention years ago (soon after this book was published) but it is not to be. Unfortunately she died this weekend (March 1, 2008).

Janet Kagan obviously understood a lot about a number of things: native cultures, cats, music, anthropology, and of course the ST universe. Of all the ST novels, this one best captures the "voices" of the characters (both in the wording and the accents of characters like Chekov and Scotty). It's an intriguing story about cultural division and the mistakes that keep two peoples with a common ancestry apart. I have *really* wanted to see a follow-up novel that would pick up where this one left off regarding ... Read More

only thing that kept it from being rated a 5 was it's lenght...I don't mind long reads, I rather prefer them..but there were spots in this book, particularly the landing party trying to sort out customs and language with the felinoid natives that I thought were a bit too long...
the ending was also a bit of a puzzler as well and left me wanting more answers..but other than that I thought this was a great star trek adventure...alot of great Spock moments in this one.
