Summary: ST-TNG: Here There Be Dragons
Review: Star Trek - The Next Generations: Here There Be Dragons written by John Peel is a well-written action-adventure novel written about a Preserver developing world that is hidden inside a tachyon cloud, where the only access is through a tunnel generated by Preserver technology, that is being exploited by a group of interplanetary trophy hunters. The events in this story take place before the sixth-season episode "Rascals."This planet is right out of Earth's 13th-century Germany where they believe in the force of arms, ritual combat, honor, and glory. And because of the Prime Directive, now, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have to set things right. This book takes you on an adventurous read where Captain Picard, Data, Ro and a member of a security detail beam to the surface of the planet and investigate. Of course things do NOT go as planned and this adds to the mystery and intrigue of the story. After a while, William Riker and Deanna Troi also beam down to the planet's surface where they follow-up leads as to the whereabouts of the smugglers. The book goes back and forth between two main storylines with the addmixture of some minor storylines until you get all the main characters involved into the story proper. When reading this book you'll tend to think ahead of the story, but be careful the Enterprise and her crew experience some major roadblocks and impediments along the way making this story a complete adventure. There is only one fight seen with the indiginous dragon species on the planet involving Captain Picard and it is well-written. These beasties are huge, eighteen feet tall and sixty feet long, with long talons equiped with claws that can cut prey in half with one pass and... if that isn't enough these dragon-lizards have armored hide with large sharp saw-edged teeth. The story has an ending that has a few surprises and the reader will be engrosed in the story till the ending. All in all, the story is a solid 5 stars and this book is a keeper that you'll want to read again at a later time.

Summary: This is for the Trekkies.
Review: This book is rated 10 by me because it is the best that I have ever read, this book has everything that there should be in a book, humor, logic, very well descriptions, (you feel like your there), and action. This book will provoke a huge emotianal responce from you, it truly is for the Trekkies, so if you want to read an adventure that should have been a movie, should have been in the hall of fame, and the author should be given a Nobel prize, then read "Here There Be Dragons" (Star Trek, the Next Generation, No 28) by John Peel. Live Long And Prosper.

Summary: Light Entertainment
Review: This book is written in a B-grade movie style. The characters are depicted in exaggerated fashion. The author never goes over the top in his depictions, but Worf comes rather close. The way it is done is still quite entertaining. The general writing is good. The descriptions are quite vivid and the combat scenes detailed and clear. The setting is epic: Enterprise goes inside of a stellar cloud, a feat made possible by Preserver technology. The action, in contrast, is swords and sorcery style. Riker and Troi investigate a medieval town and accompanying castle, while Picard and Data face off against a dragon. Then the Preserver element comes in for the sorcery section. It's definitely an unusual style of story, but interesting and fun reading.

Summary: Here there be dragons
Review: This book provides plenty of action but it lacks the realism to entrance you in the story. The characters are well done and the action is good but it's definitely not something you would go out of your way to read

Summary: Quite good.
Review: This is a story that does quite a good job of including most of the elements that go into making Star Trek: The Next Generation interesting: good action, interesting ideas, excellent characterizations. It's not a particularly deep novel, even by the standard of Star Trek novels, but as a good, fast-paced story, it is excellent. It would have made a good episode.

Summary: Smooth read and lots of fun
Review: This story was really well done. It's like a combination of sci-fi and fantasy, which I really enjoyed. It was cool to see the crew of the Enterprise as medieval characters, and Deanna's grumbling about her dress is hilarious! The book had lots of interesting twists and turns. In the middle of the book, there were 7 plotlines (yes, seven!) going at once! But it wasn't actually confusing - just really exciting. I think it would have been better to have the dragons around more, but still, this book is fun and written well. Definitely recommended.
