Really nice ending sequence. I particularly liked the closing sequences with Owens & Son and Xylion and Leva. But I think the sequence with Culsten, Nora and Winera wins a Trek award for feeling very much like something from an episode of STNG, as does the final shot of Michael Owens watching a starship for a few moments, then watching it depart.
As I understand it, this was the pilot for SEA? Well done!
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Really glad you enjoyed this story and the end which is quite clearly heavily inspired by good ol' TNG. I have no illusions that Star Eagle is very much written in that vein. And you're absolutely correct, this was the first major outing for Owens, Eagle and company. The first of a series of novels and shorter stories many of which you have of course already read. Sadly, I've been too lazy over the years to bring the full catalogue over onto Ad Astra as the stories were first published/posted over at the TrekBBS. You may have already found that pretty much everything is available at StarEagleAdventures.com where you can also download the stories as ebooks.

First of all, I read the ebook version, but I thought I'd leave a review here. This story was great, with very well realised characters and a very interesting plot. The subplots also enabled some of the crew to have more depth, most notably the half Romulan tactical officer.
The captain, Owens, was very well done, with a nice backstory, connecting him personally with the main thread of the story. Cleverly though, the main thread is buried at the start, making the reader believe (or rather me) that it wasn't going to really play a part in the story, only for it to re-emerge.
There was a lot of mystery in this story, and ti all came together in a very satisfying way.
Author's Response: I'm really glad you had a chance to read this story and decided to provide some feedback as well. That's greatly appreciated. It's good to hear that you enjoyed Tempus Fugit. This was by no means an easy or straight-forward novel to plot, so I'm glad to hear that you found the end result satisfying.
