[edit] Information
- In August 1999, this novel was reprinted as Book 1 of the Worlds Apart miniseries along with How Much for Just the Planet? In 2004, it was reprinted with the TNG novel Kahless as the Signature Edition book The Hand of Kahless.
- It is stated in the novel that at least ten years have passed since the signing of the Organian Peace Treaty, placing the framing story sometime later than 2277. If the dating relative to the Sentry/Devisor incident is accurate, the framing story is in 2283 or 2284. However, the situations presented in the framing story do not match other events of 2277, 2283, or 2284.
- Published in 1984, this makes use of the timeline, events, and ships of the Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology and predates much material developed for later movies and series, which leads to some difficulties in adapting it to the now-canon chronology. For example, the relative ages of Spock and McCoy, with Spock about eight years older, stem from the best estimates of the time, but have since been superseded by later canon references.
- Establishes that in its "current year" (see above for that debate), a book was published called The Final Reflection, by an author called J.M. Ford. This device was used in similar ways in Mudd's Angels, Strangers from the Sky and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
