Rating: Summary: This is the first Star Trek book I've ever read...... Review: I have just finished reading The Last Stand, and it is the first time I've ever read a Star Trek book. To be honest, I don't even know much about Star Trek, and the only Star Trek TV show I've seen is a handful of The Next Generation episodes. I have read over 300 fantasy novels, and wanted to try something different. In the end, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars, and would give it 6 out of 5 if I could. The fact that I don't even read books of this genre, and I don't even know anything about Star Trek and gave this book 5 out of 5 stars means it is obviously an awesome book. I took it on a vacation with me to read while traveling, and ended up finishing the entire book on my flight before I even got to my destination, that is how good this book is. The Last Stand has an awesome plot, and is written in a very smooth and appropriate flowing writing style that anybody can appreciate. The storyline in this book is amazing, and captivates you immensely. The book starts with an amazing story that captivates you through the entire book because not only do you want to know what happens in the crisis, but you also want to find out more about how the crisis began. I've been dissapointed with alot of books that started out with a great storyline, and then fizzled with a poor ending. However, this book was definately not one of them. The start, middle, and ending of this book were all amazing. The book had a touch of mystery, technological wonder, battle, plot twisting, humor, the whole nine yards. A salute to Brad Ferguson in providing a great reading experience on my first Star Trek novel adventure. I am not a professional reviewer, and to be honest this is the first time I even bothered to review a book, but I was so impressed with it it motivated me to write a review and even order two more Star Trek books. Great job Mr. Ferguson! GET THIS BOOK!!!...

Rating: Summary: STNG #37 The Last Stand - A great numbered novel! Review: Of the three Star Trek titles that this outstanding author has written, unfortunately "The Last Stand" is the only of his I've read so far and something that I should correct soon. I found his writing style to be very fast paced and his characterizations to be quite accurate. Where so many Star Trek authors have attempted to go and failed, Brad Ferguson deftly ingrained a healthy amount of mystery, suspense, intrigue and humor into this novel which begs the question as to why this was his last novel in the Star Trek universe. Although the cover art is quite the standard bland imagery that was normal for the time in which this novel was published, the caricatures are accurate. The premise: While on a routine mapping mission, Captain Picard and crew discover a culture that is just on the verge of developing warp technology, which piques everybody's interest. Just as they begin to survey the planet and its culture, an armada approaches the planet, bent on destroying this burgeoning race. With limited time, Captain Picard must resolve this conflict which has gone on for a millennia or face the loss of billions on the planet, yet at the same time, should he succeed he may unleash a new threat upon the Federation. I highly recommend this numbered Star Trek The Next Generation novel as it is extraordinarily well written and a true pleasure to read. {ssintrepid}
