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.… (altro)

This was interesting. Not the story itself. It's a pretty standard story, with the added bonus of Zar being in it. Starfleet crew has to go back in time, this time on another planet, and save the planet. But, oh, someone will have to die, but, oh wait, there's a loophole and we've found it so that the crew's distant (or not so distant) family member doesn't have to die, woo! Everyone lives happily ever after.

Okay, that last paragraph might have been too sarcastic. I actually did like this book a lot, but, as I said, not because of the main plot, but, instead, beause of how AC Crispin managed to take the character that was a most definitely pre-original Star Trek movie character and change him, as well as the big three (Spock, Kirk, McCoy) in a way that managed to mesh them back together all the years later when they meet again.

I also did like a lot of the stuff with the Guardian (and Wynn!), although, I really wish that there'd been more world building around the Originators. That seemed to be a sort of thrown away part of the plot, and I was sad about that. I wanted to know more about the nice ones, and even the pissed off chaotic ones too.

Overall it was a really fun read, and, I'm glad that I finished the 'Yesterday Saga' in it's two book glory! ( )

Again, loved all out of proportion to the content. Very well thought out novel with a couple holes. ( )

Longer than the first book of the pair, this was written five years later and takes place 20 years later, Spock's time (less, Zar's time). ?áSo his son is of an age to be a younger brother. ?áIt would have been neater to see Spock, in either book, having to interact with a child, but of course then we wouldn't have all those battle scenes etc. ?áI did like the alien races: the Originators (those 8 crazy almost godlike beings who built the Guardian) and the little telepath, who gave birth to triplets upon almost being destroyed by trying to communicate with the Guardian: she was 'carrier' but her species also has male and female... but since all three bring forth new life, all three are referred to as 'she.'

Fun genre fiction. ?áI read so much that I'm just a little too cynical/ judgemental to fully enjoy?áthe series any more... I'd better read all that I own fairly fast before I get too unappreciative. ( )

On it's own Time for Yesterday by A.C. Crispin is a decent, fun Star Trek novel whether one has read it's precursor novel Yesterday's Son. With that said, one's enjoyment of the novel and understanding of the interactions between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy (as well as the majority of the TOS Enterprise crew) with Zar can only come after having read Yesterday's Son. The book contains two plots that cross with one another thanks to time travel, but it's the initial one of the malfunctioning Guardian of Forever that comes across as the better of the two especially as the reader meets the creators of the Guardian.

Having been given this book by a relative, I didn't know what to expect. The book was a fun read, but after the Guardian plot was wrapped up the rest of the book was missing the backstory that Yesterday's Son would have provided. So you're thinking about reading this book without having read Yesterday's Son, I recommend you don't. Find Yesterday's Son either on Kindle or at a used book store or at a friend's house and read it first before Time for Yesterday. I fully intend to find Yesterday's Son so I can re-read this book and have a better appreciation (and review of it). ( )

This book is the wonderful conclusion to another A.C. Crispin book entitled Yesterdays Son. I fell in love with this story line from the get go. A.C. Crispin knows how to write and knows how to really stay true to the Star Trek genre as a whole. She has masterfully crafted this book. This and it's partner book are my two all time favorite Science Fiction books. ( )

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven;
A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to puck up that which is planted,
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
--Ecclesiastes
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and crop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions. . . .
--T. S. Eliot
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
being to timelessness as it's to time,
love did no more begin than love will end;
where nothing is to breathe to stroll to swim
love is the air the ocean and the land

love is the voice under all silences,
the hope which has no opposite in fear;
the strength so strong mere force seems feebleness;
the truth more first than sun more last than star
--e. e. cummings
"Being to Timelessness At It's to Time"

This book is dedicated to my friend
Deb Marshall,
who patiently listened, enthused (as only she can) and encouraged me from the moment of Zar's conception, through the long years of gestation, and proudly midwifed the printed birth with champagne, flowers and hugs.

Thanks, Deb.
