Rating: Summary: This novel uniquely displays Kirk's past life. Review: Captain James T. Kirk was known as a man who liked women. When he found Carol Marcus. he never knew that they would have a child. Well in Faces of Fire, that child, David, comes up. He is a brave boy, like his father. This story depicts the arrogance of the Klingons and the relationship between Spock and David. This book elegantly displays the similarities of Kirk and David. I would recommend this book to everyone who likes Spock, Kirk and David.
Rating: Summary: Not a bad story. Review: Not great, but not bad; this story purports to tell the tale of the first meeting between Kirk and his son David Marcus, as well as to establish the reason for some of the hostility displayed toward Kirk by David in "The Wrath Of Khan". It establishes the character of David fairly well, but the justification for the hostility is weak at best, and the subplot involving the political machinations of the Klingons seems decidedly spurious, merely an excuse for the Klingons behaving in odd and implausible ways later.A perfectly good adventure novel, which mostly fails at its attempts to a pretension to be more than that.
Rating: Summary: A rather slow adventure.... Review: Overall quality is just what I've come to expect from Simon & Schuster: very good. I do agree,however, that the reader here lacks variation and depth. It detracts seriously from the production for me. I found myself getting bored and sidetracked through no fault of the writing, but of the reader. The story itself seemed rather tame for Kirk and Co. Gone was the style and panash and great Errol Flynnish type of adventure. I missed that.

Rating: Summary: An above average star trek Review: Set in the timeframe of the original Star Trek missions this book tells the story of how Kirk first met his son David. I thought that this book, while not the greatest Star Trek book ever written did a good job establishing characters that we will met later. It also has a fair amount of action to keep you interested in the general story.

Rating: Summary: ST-TOS: Faces of Fire Review: Star Trek-The Original Series written by Michael Jan Friedman is a double plotted book where the main character get split and the adventures begin. "Faces of Fire" has the Enterprise and her crew on a mission to Alpha Malurian Six to resolve a "religious" dispute, but while enroute to this mission They happen to pass a terraforming. Spock wants to monitor this and requests to be left behind on Beta Canzandia Three. This is the first book where we meet David Marcus, Captain James T. Kirk's son. So, one plot involves a "religious" dispute and the other involves a terraforming. But the plot thinckens as they say, and boy does it ever. What good is a Star Trek book if we don't have the bad guys... this time as Klingons. The Klingons have heard of the terraforming and want to nose around and in the process they capture both Carol and David Marcus. Also, Spock is captured and now faced with certain death Spock and David plan, with the other colonists, an escape. At the same time, the Enterprise crew with Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty are trying to find a solution to end the religious conflict. Here we have McCoy's famous word uttered... "Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a veterinarian." Or, whatever he's suppost to be other than a doctor depending upon the situation. This book was a well-crafted story and entertaining as the plots moved along they kept your interest. I enjoyed this book with McCoy and Scotty trying to help Kirk... interesting, indeed.
