Summary: Yet another fantastic Star Trek Original Series book!
Review: Again, A.C. Crispin has turned out a fabulous book that has all the trademarks of my beloved Original Series as well as filling the book with subplots, humor, and a somewhat unexpected twist or two. Definitely needs to rank with: "2001", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Childhood's End", "Foundation", "Ringworld", "Advent of the Corps", and so forth.

Summary: A Review of the Star Trek Book Sarek
Review: I have read over 150 Star Trek books and this one is my favorite. It is full of fun and adventure. It delves deep into the character of Sarek and the difficulties he faces. A side plot goes into the character of Peter Kirk, Captain Kirk's nephew. This is a very humorous book and is written in the spirit of Star Trek. A must read for Star Trek book fans!

Summary: A Review of the Star Trek Book Sarek
Review: I liked this book. It was a well written treatment of the original series characters set immediately following Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. The additional characters were all excellent. Truly I would have loved to see this as a movie, but alas it would never come to pass now that both Mark Lenard, and Deforest Kelley are gone... The most interesting thing about this book, has to be the insight into Spock's father, Sarek. You read about motivations, and actions that shaped Spock. You have direct insight into why Sarek married a human. And you see more of the vulcan culture. A truly engrossing read!

Summary: a new favorite
Review: I loved this one, cause it really delves into Spock and Sarek's relationship, plus you get to see Amanda's point of view on things. It also show's a lot of her relationship with Sarek, shows the sentimental side of him that while loath to show it since it would be a emotional display it also makes you understand that they were truly in love and how they were able to make it work...because love is certainly not logical and humans are rather emotional about these things. I also enjoyed how it explained the falling out that Sarek and Spock had when Spock went into Starfleet. I've enjoyed the other books that I've read also that delve into the father/son relationship:
The Vulcan Academy Murders
The IDIC Epidemic
Spock's World
Definitly read this one

Summary: Deep insight into a much loved character
Review: If you've ever been curious to learn more about this character from the Star Trek universe, this is a great book for you.Admittedly, the book can get a little bit long around the middle, where there is much of Sarek reading bits and pieces of his wife, Amanda's, personal journal, but these scenes also strengthen the reality of what is happening. Still, it is a little slow here, so I can't really give it the full 5 stars. The book picks up the pace TREMENDOUSLY, however during it's last 3rd when the usual cast of the starship Enterprise get more involved in what's happening. I really couldn't put the book down once I got into that! The last part of the book makes up for the slowness in the middle. 'Sarek' also does a great deal to make connections between events that we see in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and even the two-part Next Generation episode which featured Spock. Crispin's attention to the detail of Star Trek continuity was greatly appreciated in this regard.

Summary: Having Mark Lenard On Tape is Great!
Review: Repeat after me, "This IS an abridged version of the book". They can't possibly get the whole book onto a 2-hour tape, nor do they try. There is a lot left out. You must read the book, which is wonderful. The great thing about this book-on-tape is that Mark Lenard reads it. He played the role of Sarek on the series and in the movies. It's a great tribute to him to have his wonderful voice and characterization on tape. It deserves to be in every Star Trek collection.

Summary: Star Trek: Sarek
Review: Star Trek: Sarek written by A.C.Crispin is a book about the life of one of the most revered characters in the Star Trek genre... Sarek, spock father and an ambassador of the Federation. For being a book about a Vulcan, you would think this book would be void of emothion... far from this case, indeed. This book runs the full gambit of human emotion, you'll cry, laugh, be heartbroken and happy. This book's time frame is after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, is dying and Spock returns to Vulcan where he meets his father Sarek and they get reacquainted, so to speak, making for some very interesting reading. Of course, the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew aren't too far away from this epic tale... no sir, as Captain Kirk's last surviving relative has become a pawn in the battle to divide the Federation. The Klingon Empire, you can always count on them, are the kidnappers with the Federation's distruction not too far behind. There is action-adventure in this story, love and loyality. There is an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any faced to this point. The characteriztions are spot-on with a well-fleshed out dialog making for a very quick, fast read. You will get engrossed with this tale and will not want to put the book down til the end. You can always tell when you have an excellent Trek Book in your hands... the pages seem to fly by... this is the case with this book. This book fills in some of the spotiness between Spock and Sarek whick were until now only circumspect.

Summary: Great story
Review: The main reviewer is wrong its not apiece of fluff. This book has several storylines melded (no pun intended) together. If you love star trek get this book to learn more about vulcans and klignons! Sorry, you have to read the book.
