Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
Genre: fiction
Review: Was Brent Spiner the target of a stalker who sent him threatening notes signed by his fictional character's fictional daugter Lal? He might have been. Did that result in an entanglement with an FBI agent and her personal-security-guard twin sister and all the other dramatic events that follow as he writes in this book? Probably not. Spiner isn't telling which parts of this book are "mem" and which are "noir," but no matter where the the line is, he's written a fun, madcap story.
The book will, of course, appeal mostly to Star Trek fans, which is not to say that it won't appeal to people who don't identify as Star Trek fans too (except, perhaps, the ST:TNG name-dropping). Fans will be pleased to see that Spiner's writing chops are almost as strong as his acting chops, and non-fans will enjoy a zany mystery with a true noir feel.
FTC Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for this review.
