Book Review: ‘Ishmael’ by Barbara Hambly

Star Trek: Ishmael is a Star Trek (The Original Series) #23 novel written by Barbara Hambly and was released by Pocket Books in May of 1985.

This is a very classic Star Trek book, and it worked for me on many levels.

The first thing about this book that works so well is that it’s a time travel novel. Hambly deftly writes a Star Trek time-travel story before the most famous Star Trek time travel stories (The Voyage Home and First Contact) were made. It focuses on Spock, who get thrown into the past and doesn’t remember who he is, why he is there, or really anything else.
