Few people remember the Bantam paperback that came out a few months after the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Tuvix" aired in 1996. "Tuvix Must Die!" purports to be written by Kathryn Janeway and is supposed to be her justification for splitting Tuvix back into Tuvok and Neelix. The actual author has never been identified (some speculate it was ghost-written by Gene Roddenberry).

A mock-up of a book cover based on James Blish's "Spock Must Die!"

It is red with a wide black stripe down the center. The following text is centered down the stripe:

A
STAR TREK
BOOK [white text]

TUVIX
MUST DIE! [red text]

BY KATHRYN JANEWAY [red text]

"IT SEEMED LIKE THE THING TO
DO AT THE TIME" [white text]

THE USS VOYAGER'S CAPTAIN
EXPLAINS HER CONTROVERSIAL
DECISION [white text]

Between the final two text sections is a monochrome image from the Voyager episode "Tuvix." It shows the transporter effect when Tuvix was separated into Tuvok and Neelix.

Pinning this post to remind and shame me to write the follow up part 2 to my blog post "Reviving an Intel SDK-85 Serial Interface". Especially since I've been getting comments on it recently.

Part 2 will appear in January 2023. For real.
