, there is a wonderful little nod to Galaxy Quest. In chapter 17 (p. 333) we read:"That didn't take long," she remarked, stepping daintily over a Thermian's tentacles and settling in beside Mikal, elbows on the bar. "Single malt, neat," she told the bartender. "Jameson, if you've got it."Aside from Mironova's good taste in beverages, this little gem stood out in my mind because it is, AFAIK, the first appearance of Galaxy Quest characters in Star Trek licensed media.
[In case I have to spell it out for you, at the Galaxy Quest convention, Malthesar approaches Jason Nesmith saying, "We are Thermians from the Klaatu Nebula. We need your help." When Jason's co-stars transport to the space dock, the Thermians who greet them have forgotten to activate their appearance generators and are shown as to be squid-like creatures with tentacles.]
