Rating: - My First Star Trek Novel.
I am 31 years old and I have been a Star Trek fan since I was about 9 or 10. However, until now I have never read a Star Trek book. I guess now that I am out of school and have more time on my hands I can read more for fun instead of an assignment. I also haven't had a new Star Trek adventure in a few years now via TV or the big screen so I decided to start checking out the adventures that have been coming out since the beginning of Star Trek. I began with Ashes of Eden!!!!

(these three novels make up the first trilogy entitled "The odyssey"). ... Read More

Here we find a retired, now civilian, James Kirk in a new adventure to save an independent planet recognized by the Federation, but claimed by both the Romulan and the Klingon Empires. Kirk is once again asked to become the ... Read More
Rating: - Surprisingly well rounded
Firstly, I love William Shatner, he is just someone I enjoy watching--he clearly takes a great deal of enjoyment from what he does also. The same is true to this book, it is at times easy to see through the prose to perhaps other more personal moments, as it is hard to seperate Kirk from Shatner--and it makes interesting reading to ponder what Shatner is thinking and saying though his most famous character.
I was impressed, first and foremost at how well he utilized the other characters. Chekov ... Read More
