Summary: ST: TOS - Mudd in Your Eye
Comment: ST: TOS - Mudd in Your EYE written by Jerry Oltion is a humorous story and it will keep you laughing through out the story.
A well written story that keeps your intrest, we get one of Capt. James T. Kirk's antagonists, Harcourt Fenton Mudd. The antipathical Mudd is thought to be the person that has brought peace to the planets of Pastor and Distrel who have been fighting an ongoing war for twelve hundred years.
Now, the Federation wants to find out if this war is over and sends the crew of the Enterprise to investigate. When Kirk begins to investigate he finds Mudd... now Kirk becomes suspicious and doubts that Mudd is telling the truth. Oh the humor... as Kirk et. al. get involved with Mudd and the inhabitants of these two planets.
You see, this interplanetary war is over who is going to eat the white half of a piece of fruit. Crazy, I know, but the author's imagination is running wild as people die, resurect, die, and resurect over and over just to be closer to their heaven. All along the antics of Mudd and the author has written Mudd's wife (Stella) into this story get more and more whimsical.
This is a well told light-hearted story with the clownish Mudd working his extravagace to the max by saying that he's a changed man. If you want a laugh... and like TREK... then read this story you will chuckle. I reread this story as I pulled it off the shelf of long ago read books and it was as funny now as it was then.

Summary: Death, but not really
Comment: Harry Mudd returns! And what a way to return. Stella, his wife, also shows up, which is a big plus. The beginning catches your interest immediately - a society warring over a fruit?? I love the story - he's dead, Jim, wait, no he's not, wait, yes he is...you'll have to read it to find out! I wonder how crazy you have to be to think up a plot this twisted *jk*! It's just hilarious!

Summary: no, no, no ...
Comment: The novel starts out promisingly enough, with Kirk and crew discovering that two planets have ended 12,000 years of war (over which side gets to eat the white half of a fruit!), then discovering that the man responsible for ending the piece is no less (or no more, as it were) than Harcourt Fenton Mudd.
Then the war starts up again, and the book falls apart.
The kitchen sink apparently wasn't enough for this author -- he had to throw in the whole subdivision. The plot quickly becomes a humorless mess, with most of the Enterprise crew dying and being resurrected in bath houses (my best guess is that the two planets are monitored by a supercomputer that controls the resurrections through a systemwide transporter system -- and therefore perpetuates the war -- in order to teach people to cherish life) and character consistency thrown to the solar winds. We even have Spock using phrases like "That's the beauty of it" and "I am willing to bet" -- when's the last time the author even watched the show??
A good idea executed badly. Even Harry Mudd deserves better than this.
