Background information[]
- In a review for Star Trek Magazine issue 203/#76 (Sept 2020), Michael Clark noted the connections The Higher Frontier made between TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "Is There in Truth No Beauty?", Commander Thelin from TAS: "Yesteryear", Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Bennet's previous novels Ex Machina and The Buried Age. (p. 79)
- Author Christopher L. Bennett posted to TrekBBS.com that the cover graphic by Alan Dingman, based on stock images, represents a "Kumari-class cruiser" over Andoria, though no Kumari-type cruisers appear in the story. [1]
