The author has slipped in a wonderful pun, having nothing to do with ST. Read through the scene where Uhura commandeers the Old City Transport Station from the young lieutenant. In the book, his name is Heisenberg. Somewhere in that scene, the author writes (not an exact quote): "Heisenberg was the one factor of uncertainty in this equation." When it hit me, I nearly fell off the chair laughing. B.K.Cobb ihnp4!ihuxi!okie "Set phrasers on pun!"
