Buy used from: $0.01 This is the Star Trek Voyager book that my son looks for at every book store we visit. He has 1-17, but has not read 18. I don't believe there has ever been a character with DS in Star Trek, yet.
|
 | The Final Fury (Star Trek: Voyager, No 9: Invasion Book No 4) by Dafydd ab Hugh
Buy used from: $0.01 A Star Trek book highly recommended by my son; he would like to write a Star Trek Voyager movie featuring an actor with Down syndrome (himself)
