Summary: A good follow-up book
Review: This book picks up seconds after book one. By the end of the book I was left thinking that this was a perfect ending to the story. Here again we see Geordi dealing with his love interest Leah Brahams. She has been busy moving up the chain of command and now has a crew of her own. The crew of the Enterprise start succuming to the aliens that set off the Genesis Wave in order to save their dying civilization. Billions are dead and the Klingons are in the unconventional roll of acting as transport ships of the injured and refugees left in the wake of a massive evacuation that has decimated much of the alpha quadrant.
Makes a nice tie-in to the Star Trek S.C.E. series.

Summary: Star Trek 2
Review: This is one of the best Star Trek books I have read this month. After reading the first book, I had to get this book.

Summary: The Omen!
Review: This is the first book of the Genesis Wave Trilogy. I am no scientist, but I do know that waves can travel faster than light.Now to the book. John Voornholt is a great author. This book meets the standards of Star Trek 2 The Wrath Of Kahn. This is the best of the best. Leah Brahms is the only character who survives the destruction of Seran and goes to warn the federation about the wave. I like how the radiation suit saves her life. The Klingon Maltz is kind of crazy when it comes to things like that. I also like the characters Data, Troi, Crusher, and Linton. I also cannot believe that the wave turns a planet to sludge. This book along with book 2 has parts that lean more towards horror. This is one of the best audio books I've ever read. I also like the character of Beckra who is the romulan spy. I highly recommend this audio cassette to future Star Trek Fans.

Summary: Not Bad, but Not Great
Review: This is the first book of the series that I've read, so take what I write for what it is worth. Since it builds on the first a little bit, you're left wondering how a couple of the characters came together. It is a fast read, but sometimes the settings are not fleshed out enough.

Summary: The story continues
Review: This pickes up only minutes after book one concludes. I was glad to have it on hand to finish a very suspensfull cliffhanger. This trillogy, however, seemes to suffer from 'Trillogy Syndrome'(seems many do) in that it starts with a bang, and then fizzles out in the second and third books. There's a "sneak preview" of a chapter of book three at the end of this book, and just from that little bit seems to be streching it out for all it's worth, but losing momentum. There are some great scenes with the Klingons, in fact, I belive the best part of the book is how Dr Braums, as captain of the Klingon vessle Hos, interacts with her crew, and the heroic actions of the Klingons she serves with. Genisis Wave also gives more detail about the horror of what they're up against.....and how they are able to launch such an incredible attack when they've hardly been heard of previously. Some conflict is also given when they show a more spiritual side of these creatures. Also, it's important to note that the charachterising isn't really up to par, and it seems Captain Picard and Dianna Troi both have some flatness, and speak in a way that just doesn't seem to fit thier personalities. Dianna does have a very important heroic part in all this though. On a good note, Geordi is more thoroughly explored, and Data saves the day as he is the only one immune to the effect of the creatures. Worth it to finish the trillogy, I'll be reading the next book ASAP as well. A good, albiet not great story.

Summary: Good. . .but WAIT for the paperback version
Review: This was a good book, and is necessary to complete the storyline so artfully begun in Book One of the series; HOWEVER, it felt like it was originally three chapters that were stretched out into a complete book (like it probably was). The book IS worth reading, but NOT at hardcover prices. If you haven't read the first one yet, then wait and buy them both as either individual paperbacks OR in their eventual "single-bound" version. THEN you can enjoy it. If you HAVE read the first one, then put it aside and have Amazon "email alert" you to the paperback's release. Or, try your local library. Once you get the second one, skim through the first book (you'll need to, even if you only walked away for a couple of weeks) to remind you of the storyline and where all the characters were last left standing.

Summary: A large disappointment as a conclusion
Review: Though book one was a griping tale the follow-up by Vornhort was disappointing. The enemy was an interesting choice, well thought out, and presented new challenges developed from Star Trek lore. The mystery of book one was lost and though the story telling was masterful, the climax and resolution were not only much too quick, but below the level of energy and enthusiasm you felt throughout the story. Almost as if Vornhort tied some pieces together to meet a deadline, not to complete what had promised to be one of the better Star Trek stories. An intriguing adventure that ultimately went no where...
