Rating: Summary: Best Book ever Review: one of the best books i have ever seen i wish they would make a movie on it
Rating: Summary: Shatner's best of the five novels he has written so far Review: What a great read. I really thought it was a clever idea to resurrect Kirk in the way Shatner did. The story keeps you guessing the entire time and keeps you not wanting to put the book down. At the end of the story, when Kirk throws the switch, I figured that was the end, being that he was killed off anyway at the end of "Generations". Then, a year later when advertisements came out for "Avenger", I knew there had to be some way Kirk survives.A great read for any fan. You don't even have to have read "Ashes of Eden" to understand this story, but I would still recommend reading it if you want to read all five of his novels. They all tie in sooner or later.
Rating: Summary: A good page-turner, Some flaws... Review: This book kept me on my feet the whole time to the point where I brought it to school because I could not put it down, and at the risk of being laughed at by all of my peers for reading Star Trek... To tell you the truth, I find the idea of the Borg-Romulan alliance pretty hard to grasp. Also, If the Borg were that easy to defeat, how come we didn't think of that beforehand? I miss Scotty, Sulu, Chekov, Uhura...also, I hate seeing everyone so old. Shatner should try to write some books dating back to the original series days. It might be interesting to see them all at the acadamy... Also, the sex thing is getting old. Overall, a great book. Would keep you on the edge of your seat if it were a movie...
Rating: Summary: Shatner's attempt to rebirth Kirk is imaginative... Review: When I heard that William Shatner wrote a "Trek" novel that brings legendary Captain Kirk back to life, my first impression was "How corny and desperate is Shatner to do this?" and I was reluctant to even digest the idea. However, being a die-hard trekkie, I admit I was quite curious to the concept. To my delight, Shatner's tale of rebirth and unification of Spock and McCoy with the Next Generation crew was not only un-corny, but very imaginative, as well. This novel combines the action and humor of both generations of "Trek" far superior than "Star Trek - Generations" did. The idea of a Borg / Romulan dissentor alliance was unique, and the way Shatner describes the re-generation tecniques is believable when put into a 24th century context. The new Starfleet equipment (starships, cloak detection devices, etc.) are very exciting, and one must wonder if the Borg are to make a return. (Their homeworld is destroyed and the remaining collective throughout the universe is in dissarray.) Can the Borg ever recover? That question may or may not be answered in the sequel, "Avenger", also written by Shatner, which I will start as soon as I finish this review. This is an excellent novel, a page-turner, and I have a new respect for Shatner the writer, and I may even sample his "Tek" series. This is for old-school trekkies such as myself...the constant references to the original "Trek" t.v. show were a delight, and the Borg / V'Ger connection was brilliant. Great work, Mr. Shatner.
Rating: Summary: Kirk is reborn and opens up a big can of whoop A.. Review: This is the best Star Trek book I have read. Kirk is reborn and opens up a big can of whoop A.. on Data, Riker and Worf, putting an end to any question about who's the toughest character in Star Trek history. Kirk, working for the Borg, takes on a feeble, emotionally weak Picard. You can tell this was written by an egotistical Shattner. If you think the original crew was the best, this book is a must read.
Rating: Summary: talent Review: It is scary how enertaing this book is.I didnt sleep for 2 days straight because i read the book before i went to bed. The plot is outstanding and although i dont think he can act,he sure can write! BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Rating: Summary: Best Trek I have ever read! Review: This book was THE GREATEST!!! I never knew that Shatner could write so well!! A must read for any Star Trek fan!!
Rating: Summary: This is a very good book! Review: IF you have seen Star Trek Generations then read this. It take s off where Generations ended. It features the Borg,Romulans Klingons, a familiar Vulcan, and more aliens.
Rating: Summary: Nothing is impossoble,although some things are harder.. Review: As the red Queen said to Alice, "I try to believe at least six impossible things before breakfast." To me, that is always how Jim Kirk has opperated. Now, I know it for sure. This is a great book for anyone who knows the TNG and origional series charictors and is a believer. Of the trilligy, this is the easiest to read on it's own. And, all you TNG fans, NOT ALL GOOD THINGS MUST END!
Rating: Summary: The penultimate Star Trek book. Review: This book is what the movies should be like. No messing around here, just Kirk kicking butt. Nothing beats "seeing" a Defiant-class Enterprise, captained by Kirk, Spock, and Picard, leading a one-ship assault against the Romulans and the Borg at the Borg homeworld. After reading this and the other books in the series, I feel justified in seeing Kirk being taken out in such a mediocre way in "Generations".
