I hope you are being sarcastic. If not, it's the US of course. Just watch the credits in a movie or look in the phone book. It looks so silly, "George Smith III", "Anna Hill IV" and so on. Haven't seen that anywhere else. But I guess it's just another way of Americans showing the rest of the world: "Hey look, we are better than you because we are sooo special."
We who happen to be so unlucky that we are not blessed with the holy right to call ourselves US citizens could reply "You are just not creative enough to think of a new name for your offspring!"
And don't get me wrong. I don't have hard feelings towards Americans in general. But at the moment I can't help but feel a little discomforted (and even angry) because of how the U.S. are behaving. I think you know what I am talking about. Thank G.W.B for that.

Hey, WE'RE not the country whose allowing their weapons-grade uranium to be smuggled into Iraq.
Now let's all settle down and go back to talking about the V'Ger Companion before this gets sent to the Flameboard.

Well, since Unseen Frontier's probably been cancelled (sigh), it looks like this is the only Star Trek book I'll be buying for a while. That is, if this one is not cancelled.

Ok, sorry, my comments might have been quite harsh. Will keep my critisisms to myself in the future.
About the Voy Companion. That's not really a book I care about. But not to publish U.F. is a real shame. They should scrap some of those dreadfully boring novels instead. U.F. could become a real smash. But as happens so often we will never get to see it - at least not in this life...
