Crisis on Vulcan (Star Trek Starfleet Academy, No 1)

Rating:
Summary: Want to know about Spock's early adventures?
Review: From the strict Vulcan academy to saving diplomats, Spock does it all. Spock the half human, half Vulcan, he feels as he doesn't belong. Spock befriends a son of a diplomat and the conspiracy just flows through. It is refreshing to see young Spock and his dealing with his father.

Rating:
Summary: Good book, would have benefited from better illustrations
Review: I liked this book, particularly since it deals with the best character from the original Star Trek, Spock, and the second best character, his father. There have only been glimpses of Spock's family in the various series (e.g., "Journey to Babel", the animated episode "Yesteryear"), but this novel provides more of an insight into the difficulties Spock had as a child straddling two worlds, human and Vulcan. Nice book, but I've never been terribly impressed by Todd Cameron Hamilton as an artist..., and his work here is particularly derivative, obvious and uninspired.

Summary: The beginning of Spock's Starfleet career.
Review: This book is very well written it shows spock at a young age being the intellegent and also stubborn vulcan we all know. After a Diplomatic trip with his father a young vulcan seems to be a target for assination. Do you think Spock sits back and hides? Not our Spock.

Summary: The only Starfleet Academy never in the Academy!
Review: This should be in a series called Star Trek Kids, not Starfleet Academy. The story never took place at the Academy. It was a good book, don't get me wrong, but Spock should have been in the Academy for at least a portion of the story. The story line was great! Spock's family relationships were well thought out. Todd C. Hamilton did another supior job.

Summary: We meet one of our favorite Star Trek characters!
Review: When Barbara and I were invited to write a book about the young Spock, we were thrilled. We've been fans of the original series of Star Trek for years, and we've actually met Leonard Nimoy, who was charming. The opportunity to show Spock not as the assured, in-control Vulcan he became, but rather as a teenager having difficulty communicating with his father, was a challenge. We enjoyed it, though -- and we especially enjoyed showing Mr. Spock's very FIRST trip aboard the ENTERPRISE!
