Summary: Yet another fantastic Star Trek Original Series book!
Review: Again, A.C. Crispin has turned out a fabulous book that has all the trademarks of my beloved Original Series as well as filling the book with subplots, humor, and a somewhat unexpected twist or two. Definitely needs to rank with: "2001", "Rendezvous with Rama", "Childhood's End", "Foundation", "Ringworld", "Advent of the Corps", and so forth.

Summary: Tragedy, Action, Comedy and even Sex all in one book
Review: Great book! A biography and an adventure rolled in to one. Masterfully written my A. C. Crispin. This book takes us for a great ride at full impulse. We see a more human side of Spock than ever before seen. Great job in re-introducing Peter Kirk, a character many of us have forgotten about. A sad but fond farewell to a beloved character in the Star Trek universe and a great "fill in the gaps" story.

Summary: A Review of the Star Trek Book Sarek
Review: I have read over 150 Star Trek books and this one is my favorite. It is full of fun and adventure. It delves deep into the character of Sarek and the difficulties he faces. A side plot goes into the character of Peter Kirk, Captain Kirk's nephew. This is a very humorous book and is written in the spirit of Star Trek. A must read for Star Trek book fans!

Summary: A Review of the Star Trek Book Sarek
Review: I liked this book. It was a well written treatment of the original series characters set immediately following Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country. The additional characters were all excellent. Truly I would have loved to see this as a movie, but alas it would never come to pass now that both Mark Lenard, and Deforest Kelley are gone... The most interesting thing about this book, has to be the insight into Spock's father, Sarek. You read about motivations, and actions that shaped Spock. You have direct insight into why Sarek married a human. And you see more of the vulcan culture. A truly engrossing read!

Summary: a new favorite
Review: I loved this one, cause it really delves into Spock and Sarek's relationship, plus you get to see Amanda's point of view on things. It also show's a lot of her relationship with Sarek, shows the sentimental side of him that while loath to show it since it would be a emotional display it also makes you understand that they were truly in love and how they were able to make it work...because love is certainly not logical and humans are rather emotional about these things. I also enjoyed how it explained the falling out that Sarek and Spock had when Spock went into Starfleet. I've enjoyed the other books that I've read also that delve into the father/son relationship:
The Vulcan Academy Murders
The IDIC Epidemic
Spock's World
Definitly read this one

Summary: Deep insight into a much loved character
Review: If you've ever been curious to learn more about this character from the Star Trek universe, this is a great book for you.Admittedly, the book can get a little bit long around the middle, where there is much of Sarek reading bits and pieces of his wife, Amanda's, personal journal, but these scenes also strengthen the reality of what is happening. Still, it is a little slow here, so I can't really give it the full 5 stars. The book picks up the pace TREMENDOUSLY, however during it's last 3rd when the usual cast of the starship Enterprise get more involved in what's happening. I really couldn't put the book down once I got into that! The last part of the book makes up for the slowness in the middle. 'Sarek' also does a great deal to make connections between events that we see in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and even the two-part Next Generation episode which featured Spock. Crispin's attention to the detail of Star Trek continuity was greatly appreciated in this regard.

Summary: Great Book about Sarek
Review: If your a Star Trek fan of any series, you'll love this book. Star Trek: Sarek has a great story of Sarek's life and also has some adventures of the Enterprise-A. It takes place after Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country.

Summary: excellent reading
Review: Much above the level of most other Star Trek books. Strong, compelling characters (Valdyr, Peter Kirk and, of course, Spock and Sarek) and a great plot. Really nice love stories (both the one in the past and the present). I didn't expect much from this book but I really loved it. Read it!
