on reading 'My Enemy, My Ally'

Did he just indirectly quote the Wizard's Oath, or at least the underlying fabric of wizardry there? ... He *did*! stardreamer, I just found your favorite scene in that book, and I see the reason why it's so! I'm a fan of the moment when Sulu, Chekov, and Khiy pile out of the access tunnel to great acclaim, myself.

Not so much a fan of what T'Leiar and her comrades did, however. That horrified me, and my reasoning is probably also plain, by now. And I will not play 4D chess with that version of McCoy unless he's laid his intentions on the line.

Also me, earlier in the novel: Oh so *that's* where Naraht came from! He must get promoted in a later book, because he was Lt_Naraht when he hit Milliways.

Yeah, Duane shares background material over her different series, which is one of the things I enjoy. If/when you get to Dark Mirror you'll find a very direct cross-reference to Deep Wizardry, and the Rihannsu language is very similar to if not identical with the Draconic language in the Doors books.

And yes, Naraht gets a promotion between that and The Romulan Way. What's this about Milliways?

Aha! I knew something about shared material between series, but hadn't seen it quite that directly before. :) Re Dark Mirror, I've heard of that particular reference, if it's what I think it is. Someone at Milliways told me something about a cetacean ambassador.

Speaking of Milliways, what I'm talking about is milliways_bar. I don't know if you're familiar, but if not, it's a panfandom RP community. We have, or had, among others, a Nita Callahan, a Kirk, a McCoy, a Filif, a Data and a Lore, and I play Sariel Rager from TNG. At one point there was a conversation between active players from Trek and DD's other series fandoms, and we decided that the relevant universes were not the same, but sort of stapled together at the corners. :)
