Publisher Description

Time in the galaxy has stopped running in its normal course. That can mean only one thing -- the Guardian of Forever is malfunctioning. To save the universe, Starfleet Command reunites three of its most legendary figures -- Admiral James T. Kirk, Spock of Vulcan, and Dr. Leonard McCoy -- and sends them on a desperate mission to contact the Guardian, a journey that ultimately takes them 5,000 years into the past. They must find Spock's son Zar once again, and bring him back to their time to telepathically communicate with the Guardian.

But Zar is enmeshed in troubles of his own, and soon Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find themselves in a desperate struggle to save both his and their world.

"I really enjoyed this adventure and how it forshadowed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. But I also liked the fact that we finally saw what happened to Spock's son Zar even though Spock himself decides not to view the recording that he made after saving his son and returned back to the Enterprise."

    " I very much enjoyed Crispin's "Yesterday's Son," which introduced Spock's son. "A Time for Yesterday" is the sequel and, if anything, is even better than the first book. I enjoyed it very much. "

    " Much more detailed and ambitious than "Yesterday's Son". AC Crispin's follow up novel creates a rich and exotic world that is thoroughly explored...and Spock's character has never been handled so well. Extremely satisfying. "

    " This book is AMAZING! I love the way this author writes the characters. You can easily tell that she knows and loves them and she does them all justice. And her plot is awesome! I love this idea for a Star Trek book! I was smiling for hours after I finished it! "

    " Fantastic sequel, much more character depth with a complex saga-like story. Even better than book one, this was a fun trek adventure. Yes it is a bit fan-ish in that it references multiple TOS episodes, but considering who would read the book, it's warranted and not overdone. Thumbs up! "

    " A young Han Solo and the adventures of (and resulting from) his first job as a pilot on Ylesia. Crispin perfectly captures the psyche of the young Solo flawlessly, and by the end of the book you can see how he became the man of the Classic Trilogy. "

    " Who isn't a fan of Han Solo, the greatest character in the Star Wars Universe. This was his life story - from when he was an orphan living on the streets up to the time he met Luke Skywalker and Ben Kanobi at the Cantina on Mos Eisly. Great Story. Great Trilogy. "

    " I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf. "

    " A little stunted in flow, but then again I never did like Crispin's writing style. Still a decent read, but not cerebral in the least. Also, some contradictions with the later books' plots, although bringing back a few of the lesser known storylines is a nice touch. "

    " This review will encompass the entire trilogy, but I found these books greatly interesting as Han Solo was not well explained in the films. These books provide an interesting look at what formed the Han Solo we see in ANH. Definitely recommend any Star Wars fan to read this trilogy. "
