Star Trek: Strangers from the Sky

Rating:
Summary: Another in an overly-long line of mediocre Star Trek novels.
Review: This one concerns a first meeting between humans and Vulcans. It's hard enough to suspend disbelief in *any* time-travel story but this book, with its contrived plot and uninteresting characters, is completely unsatisfying.

Rating:
Summary: first it's hard, later it's easier
Review: When I bought the book I thought: two afternoons and I finished another great Captain Kirk story. Nah, I'm still busy reading it (almost done) but I needed two whole weeks! The first part with admiral Kirk is great, but it's hard. Sentences are long, al lot of flashbacks and forwards. The mix of book and reality is great! Kirk flying of, fleeing for his friend Bones. And Spock chased by nightnmares! It's wonderful. The second part of the book reads easier. More action, no more flashing through history, just a wonderful story. I really can't wait to finish the book. I know it has to have a great ending. It's still Kirk you know!
