Rating: Summary: Another great Fan Creation Review: This book is on par with, if not better that the previous 2 volumes. I really thought some of the stories had a novel approach to writing Star Trek ficiton. The best example by far of this would be the story "Whatever You Do, Don't Read This Story". It's a truely novel approach. Two other truely impressive stories were "Out Of The Box, Thinking" whic deals w/ Professor Moriearty, and "The ONes Left Behind", a story about the family of a Voyager crewman's family. This is an excellent book. Don't hesitate to buy it.
Rating: Summary: ST: Strange New Worlds III Review: This is the third installment of the on going series that the fans of TREK submit stories for publication. Strange New Worlds III is a good look into the talent of some of the fans and what their preception of the STAR TREK universe to be.This volume contains 20 short stories and one is written in Klingon. The stories vary as to genre and are well written. As with other short stories, these help fill in some of the gaps to the story lines in films and televison series. And I must say that some are very inventive to say the least. All in all, this collection of short stories is well worth your time in reading, as they are engaging, entertaining, and insightful. The fans know what they like to read and some talented fans know what to write. It is heart-warming to see new talent continue the dream of Gene Roddenberry. As long as there is fan involvement the dream will continue to grow and flurish. Read this anthology and see the future writers of TREK evolve as they direct the course of TREK to new paths and fill in the gaps along the way. What an interesting future evolving on these pages, not only the storylines, but the grow to the authors themselves.
