Spectre (Star Trek)

Summary: Shatner does it again!
Review: They say that nobody knows Kirk like Bill Shatner, and this proves it yet again. Getting practically everybody who is anybody in the ST universe - sometimes two of them! - together in one book took some doing but Mr Shatner has certainly done the trick again. This would have had a 10 from me except that I've got to wait about 12 months for the sequel (conclusion?). But well done again, Mr Shatner!

Summary: What fun to have so many favorite characters in one book
Review: This was sooooo much fun to read -- so many of our favorite spacefarers in one book! (I had a little trouble imagining Kate Mulgrew with weird hair though). Can't wait for "Dark Victory". Please do not make a movie of this. It would have to be cut way too much; and, as the former owner of a bookstore, I believe the book is always better than the movie.

Summary: Star Trek at it's best
Review: A real page turner. Enjoyed every word. I have a special love for stories involving alternate universes mingling with ours. The only criticism is the obvious lead into a sequel. I can't wait

Summary: Bravo Mr. Shatner, one of the best Star Trek books yet!
Review: I have to say that this is by far, one of the best Star Trek books I have read. I was not able to put this book down. I hope that Rick Berman gives serious consideration to making this into a movie because it would be great to see Mr. Shatner on the big screen again. Perhaps he could have made Picard a little more creative, but if I wrote a book in which I had played the main character, I suppose I would have made my character appear as dashing and brilliant as I could. And as far as the complaint that this book was not given a final ending, why would we want Star Trek to EVER end, I personally love that feeling of anticipation waiting for the next book to come out.

Summary: He's Done it Again!!!
Review: Shatner has written yet another wonderful Star Trek book! Spectre was all that I had looked forward to and so much more. I am a big Voyager fan so this just went so way over the top. The mirror universe characters are so like this one I believed that Paris was our Paris!! The one thing that I really liked in this bokk a lot was Teilani. She is a great match for Kirk and I hope to see them get married in the nex book. Now as all books there is one thing that is wrong. In this case it is the ending. . . or should I say no ending?!?!?! Once again Shatner leaves us on edge to wait another 10 months for his next book .. Sure hope he can write fast!

Summary: Shatner does Kirk best!
Review: I thought that this book was very exciting. I strongly recommend this for all TREK fans. It is too bad that we will have to wait several months to get the concluison that goes with this cliffhanger. Shatner tells an intriguing story and maintains suspence!

Summary: A bit of a letdown.
Review: If you've seen the last couple of years of DS9, a lot of this novel is going to feel really, really familiar. Not that I didn't like the basic premise of the mirror universe characters coming over to ours using their own version of Voyager. But, let's face it, DS9 has done the whole high-ranking officials have been replaced by imposters better. I never really bought into the basic premise of the novel and that fact that it all builds up to a massive cliffhanger to what will (hopefully) be the last of the series is also upsetting. After enjoying Ashes of Eden and the Return, I was expected more. But I wasn't rewarded.

Summary: spectre:to be continued?
Review: Oh how I hate "to be continued" scenarios when the next book in the series is many months away. Praise and a warning: Terrific premise and great story line - BUT there is no ending! Sure, some story lines are resolved - but to get the real ending you have to wait for the next book and I'm sure everybody knows how often hardcovers come out. The book was so good I read it in one day - and so frustrating at the end that I wanted to throw it across the room. Hurry up with the sequel!

Summary: Star Trek Spectre was a terrific story!
Review: William Shatner's newest novel chronicles the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk now in the 24th century. Once again the civilization of the galaxy threatens to be destroyed by evil forces. Now Kirk, along with Spock, McCoy, and Scotty, must work together with the crew of the Enterprise E to save their universe. This story was a great pleasure to read, as Shatner was able to relate events that occured in all the Star Trek shows past and present, to write an awesome story. I highly recommend that anyone who is a fan of Captain James T. Kirk to read this book!

Summary: This book was great! I can't wait for the next one!
Review: William Shatner does an excellent job of telling of the continuing missions of both his original crew as well as the Next Generation's. The story is very well done and really could be motion-picture quality! The cliff hanger ending has me itching for the sequel.
