My second crostic!

The last clue is a bit feeble, but you only need to get a few of the answers to get it out.

The text is a Star Trek novel, but the clues are somewhat more eclectic.

Remember, there is no punctuation, and the words end at shaded squares. So the second clue involving Iago needs an apostrophe.

Solution to my first puzzle

The solution to the previous puzzle:

My first acrostic puzzle

In a crostic puzzle there is a piece of quoted text from a published book. The letters from the quotation make up answers to a series of numbered clues. You begin by answering some of the clues. Usually four or five answers will get you going.

Then you transfer the letters to the diagram. Each letter has a number.

In the diagram each letter has a number, and what clue the letter is from.

As a help (and the reason why the puzzle is called an acrostic, or crostic, or anacrostic) the first letters of the answers spell the name of the author and the title of the book.

I thought I would start with a previously published puzzle:

These are jpg pictures, so you should be able to print them. They should open larger in a new window if you click on them.
