Summary: "Familiar" Characters?
Review: This novel, while containing a good premise, suffers deplorably from one of Vornholt's most noted issues: familiarity with established characters and poor writing.Readers familiar with the characters of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" may find themselves wondering, based on the dialogue and actions of his characters, if Vornholt has ever actually seen the characters in action on a television screen. The two simply do not match. Added to this is an excessivly florid writing style that attempts to describe but ultimately annoys, and a failure to understand that using the word "said" is actually okay. The sum total of the novel, despite the interesting premise, is not enough to make it a worthy read unless you really haven't got anything else to read at all.

Summary: FUN
Review: Vornholt has written a very memorable and well done novel. This is a great start to a long series of books. I found the plot exciting and orginal. The book goes at a very quick pace, and I found myself caught up in the action and twisting plot. The novel does what it should: It reads like a television show. This novel will satisfy readers that love ST:TNG. It gives wonderful insight into the long forgotten Traveler, and fans finally get to see just what Wesley Crusher has been up to. Picard is put in a bad situation, and the the crew has a mystery to solve. Satisfying read!
