Summary: Has one of the things I hate most about Star Trek books.
Review: I haven't read this book in a while, so I can't really give much of a review about it. One thing I do remember about it is a great inconsistancy. In this book William Shatner says Admiral Cartwright was the C-in-C. In THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY a white man (named Bill Smithie in the book) is the C-in-C. William Shatner was in the movie, in scenes with the C-in-C. To me, this is like Mark Hamill writing a STAR WARS book and saying Darth Vader was the emperor! It is things like this that have made me prefer STAR WARS and BABYLON 5 books

Summary: It is the best Star Trek book written!!!!!!!!
Review: It's the best written of all the Star Trek books written. I could't put it down. I read it in a weekend. For years I have been waiting for him to start writing. For a long time I knew he was a great storyteller. Hope he keeps it up for a long time

Summary: Ashes of Eden is one of the best sci-fi novels I have read.
Review: The book started out great it began where Star Trek:Generations left off. It gave great details about everything throughtout the book. It filled in gaps that I had always wondered about. William Shatner is one of the best Star Trek novelist in its history. I would give this book two big Vulcan salutes
Rating:
Summary: Excellent tale written by an excellent author.
Review: This book was probably the best Star Trek book I have ever read....I think that Shatner proved that his talent as a writer is just as great as his acting abilities....I hope that everyone will go out and read this book, as you don't necessarily have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy it

Summary: One of the best ST books I've ever read
Review: When I started reading it, it was starting out slow. After awhile it started to get better. When Kirk got the Enterprise back at his command, it was strange not to have the regular arrmanent of weapons etc. on the ship.

Summary: A good present.....
Review: If you can think of anything else to buy for a Trekkie, buy this book. It's paperback, and doesn't use much wrapping paper
Rating:
Summary: Absolutely wonderfully
Review: Only William Shatner can write the best Captain Kirk story
ever written. This one I couldn't put down. Hopefully, he
will do more in the future!

Summary: despite shatner's ego it's still agood book.
Review: I wondered as i read this book how much of it did the captain himself really write? This book had the reeves stevens thumb print all over it. this of course means that it contains the the adictive page turning excitement. The story set in the movie era seems very much like one of the flims.
The main complaint i have is that shatner's most obvious imput was in the ego department. Kirk runs off with a beautiful woman half his age,chehov facing death asks himself "what would the captin do", and sulu an accomplished starfleet captain could even save the day with out saying "captain kirk had always wanted to do that". despite shatner's ego ashes of eden is a above average trek novel

Summary: Star Trek The Ashes of Eden - The Shatnerverse begins!
Review: To date, "The Ashes of Eden" remains one of my favorite and most memorable reads in The Original Series Star Trek universe. This extraordinary novel serves well in what I'm gathering was William Shatner's desire to stay connected with the universe he helped create. I found this novel and it's follow up novel, "The Return" to both have been extraordinarily brilliant in the way William Shatner and his collaborators, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens were able to perpetuate Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek universe, despite the character having been killed off in Star Trek Generations.Although some of William Shatner's later Star Trek novels in the ongoing story do not quite live up to this first one, I would have to say that he's carved himself a nice niche in the Star Trek universe, at least in the fictional sense. The cover art for this novel is brilliant and exciting, lending very well to the story! The premise: It is six months prior to that fateful day in which the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B is launched under Captain John Harriman and she heads off for her inexorable brush with a destiny that entails the loss of the Federations most renowned captains, James Tiberius Kirk. Captain Kirk finds himself facing the spectre of an unchallenging retirement when suddenly, a very beautiful young woman makes him an offer he couldn't refuse; a perilous voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront that which poses a very real threat to the burgeoning peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Along the way, he has the opportunity to recapture his youth. Captain Kirk finds that he must turn his back on his closest friends and is that he's also being hunted by Captain Sulu and the USS Excelsior. He also finds that he must stand alone as the chief defender of an incredibly beautiful world and he must choose between conquering the gravest challenge of his career or surrendering to the greatest passion he's ever known. I highly recommend this novel and those Shatnerverse novels that follow for you will find that this incredible writing team of William Shatner and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens are capable of producing some the most memorable Star Trek fiction ever put to print. {ssintrepid}
