Ancient Blood: Day of Honor #1 (Star Trek The Next Generation)

Rating:
Summary: Gag me with holodecks and blood...
Review: This is a book that really didn't need to exist. I was hoping for a great book about Klingons. Instead it portrayed them as a more bloody and savage race than ever before. And the revolutionary war side plot was distracting and unhelpful. It distracted Picard at a time when he could have been saving lives. Don't bother to read this one!

Summary: Maybe a good story blood gore ruin it
Review: This is one of the best Star Trek books I have read. It very neatly splits two story lines and keeps you wanting more of both. Picard teaches Alexander about the Day of Honor in a holosuite program designed around the American Revolution while Worf is on a secret mission fighting DISHONORABLE KLINGONS! Well written and a must for Worf fans.

Summary: Great action, blood, gore and lots of Worf!

Summary: This one kept me awake reading at night--a real page-turner
Review: This may very well be the best Star Trek book
ever. Asks some very deep questions to think
about. As everyone is saying, it is bloody,
but it seemed necessary for the plot.

Summary: A superb beginning to the Day of Honor series
Review: This was a great book that took the reader to an unexpected era. It's quite clear that the author has of love for sailing and historic vessels. She found a wonderful way to intertwine the 18th and 24th centuries. It was great to see Alexander make it into a book as well. Some minor portions of the book were a little hard to swallow, however, if Trek readers want reality they should stick with non fiction. Thank you to Diane Carey for a wonderful story.

Summary: Finally, A Star Trek Book of Substance!
Review: Tired of those one-episode Star Trek books? The new Day of Honor Series, at least Book 1, promises to be one of the first Star Trek books/series in years with depth. Ancient Blood intertwines two story lines, one a secret mission that challenges Worf's sense of honor and another that teaches his son Alexander about the concept of honor, uniquely not from a Klingon point of view. If you want action, this is also one of the most violent Star Trek stories I've read recently. Let's hope Book 2 is just as good

Rating:
Summary: Good concept, very bloody execution...
Review: Two major plotlines, one of substance revolving around Picard and Alexander learning about honor, while the other meanders through a botched mission and it's implications of honor for Worf. The holoprogram visit to the US Revolutionary War is fascinating and compelling. The rest is pretty well stock-in-trade. Good concept, competently wrought, however filled with blood and gore to excess
