I finished the Lymond Chronicles last night and loved it. However, I keep thinking that the whole series is really just Star Trek fanfic. Think about it. Lymond is a Mary Sue if I've ever read one:
1. His hair is a different, more beautiful color than everyone else's.
2. His eyes are a different, more beautiful color than everyone else's.
3. He's the smartest.
4. He's the best fighter.
5. He's the best musician.
6. Everyone loves him or hates him, but he's really just misunderstood.
7. He always has the wittiest things to say.
Also, there's more hurt/comfort in these books than in "Spock Enslaved!" And the slash subtext between Lymond and Jerott just drips from the page. The Turks are the Romulans, the Russians are the Klingons, Queen Mary's court are Vulcans (not the nice kind). Lymond has his bridge crew that follow him around everyone. The whole thing just screams Star Trek.
