This volume was better than the first.
The Klingon story was especially good.
The Q story wasn't really anything special. It wasn't much different than any Q episode of TNG.
The Tribble story was very cute.

I was honestly a little disappointed in most of the stories. The description made it sounds like there would be an inside look into these other alien cultures, but most of the chapters involved The Federation's interactions with them.
The standout to me was the Andorian chapter. I thought that was a neat look at Andorian culture.
The Romulan story was also pretty good.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. It started out as a straight satire of sci-fi tropes, which I really enjoyed. But it very quickly changed into a very different kind of self-referential story. And then, near the conclusion, the meta-ness of it all is bumped all the way up.
I still can't decide if I liked that or not. It wasn't hard to follow in any way (although the time travel part introduced a pretty glaring plot hole that was never resolved). The story was clear and understandable, despite the meta-ness. The characters were likable, and the story compelling.
But the plot is so weird, that even after finishing the book, I still don't know if it was a good weird, or a bad weird.

Not particularly interesting. The ending was supposed to be a twist, but wasn't surprising.
