The novel resolves the fate of the characters from HCtB, which never occurred on-screen due to the series' cancellation. One of the main characters in the book was also a character from "Here Comes the Brides," Aaron Stempel (played by Mark Lenard who also played Spock's father Sarek) And yes, the similarity is noticed and becomes part of the plot. Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke), Lucas McCain (The Rifleman), The Rawhide Kid (Rawhide), and Eastwood's Man With No Name also appear. Little Joe and his brother "Hoss" Cartwright from Bonanza show up. Spock plays chess with Paladin from the TV series Have Gun Will Travel. In this book, Barbara Hambly did a wonderful job of tying together ST:TOS and "Here Comes the Brides". I grew up watching 60s westerns in re-runs in the 70s.
