The impression I’ve gotten over the years is that most of the Star Trek<\/i> novel readership hates<\/b> K.W. Jeter’s Warped<\/i>. I’ve always been more than a little mystified by that reaction; I found Warped<\/i>to be an engaging and unusual novel that had a good deal more depth than other Trek<\/i> hardcovers of the period.<\/p>\n
Warped<\/i> is not an easy novel to read. Few other Trek<\/i> novels play as convincingly with the idea of a reality-clasm. In many respects, Warped<\/i> is a Star Trek<\/i> novel as Philip K. Dick might have written it, as it K.W. Jeter was a friend of Dick’s during the last years of Dick’s life, and as a consequence, I think that some of Philip K. Dick’s outlook on life seeped into Warped<\/i>.<\/p>\n I enjoyed Warped<\/i>, but I know that a good many people didn’t. I think it’s unfair, though, to blame the subsequient lack of DS9<\/b> hardcovers on Warped<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The impression I’ve gotten over the years is that most of the Star Trek novel readership hates K.W.
