Honor Blade (Star Trek, No 96/Rihannsu Book 4)

Rating:
Summary: Diane Duane does it again...
Review: The Rihannsu series is the singularly best set of Star Trek novels out there. Diane Duane is able to capture the essence of the characters she writes about with far greater vision and accuracy than the majority of Star Trek writers. (including the whole of TNG writers) I'll be the first to say that I prefer TNG to TOS any day, however Diane Duane is the exception to this rule. I will say this: Honor Blade and Swordhunt should be ONE novel, not TWO. This is one story, and reading Swordhunt is far more difficult to get into knowing that the story ends with three words: "To be continued"-- that said Honor blade at least wraps up some loose ends. But it suffers from a similar problem--those same three words. *sigh*

Note: This novel also does very well at wrapping up and tying togeather some loose ends and missing links between TOS & TNG.. BRAVO!!
