Summary: good book - bad publishing move
Review: can't resist putting in my 2 cents worth. A good NEW Star Trek series. But somebody at the
publisher's should be fired. The nerve of splitting what should be 1 book into 4 parts and
having it come out over 2 months. Bad form, guys.
I happen to know there's plenty of Star Trek books out there waiting to be published - there
was no need to do this. Hope it doesn't turn
people off what should be a great new adventure.
Best advice - hold off til all 4 volumes appear.

Summary: A new ship for Trek junkies with no television "bible".
Review: Despite the annoying publishing tactic of splitting one novel into four parts, the new series is a must read for Trek junkies. Without the televised framework of other Trek novels, you truly get the feeling that this series can go "boldly where no other ship has gone." The characters feel like old friends, with the potential of future conflict, love, and adventure. Let's hope the series continues - in full-size novels

Summary: New characters with possibilites, resurfacing of Shelby.
Review: Hated the shortness of the novels in this series, obviously split one novel into 4. This makes the book like a comic book series, you never know if the ends will be tied up or throw out the door. The underlying motivation of what makes each of the characters tick seems to be lacking, and the interaction between member of the crew doesn't seem to fit into the Starfleet norms. What bothered me most was the Vulcans seem so "emotional" with barely surfaced irritations and nasty comments to the other crew.Series has some good moments, but I suggest that all four novels be bought at once. Quick reading for each novel, good afternoon at the beach stuff.

Summary: Excellent continuation
Review: I was very anxious to read this continuation of the first book in this series. The only thing that let me down is that he left me hanging, waiting to read the third book.

Summary: Polished THIS one off in one night!!
Review: It's only 150 pgs, and needs to be more!! Can't wait for this future installments of this new series. Peter David has always been able to bring action, humor, and good characters together into a fast-moving format. And an interesting cliff-hanger at the end....

Summary: Review of "New Frontier, Book 2"
Review: Peter David is, without question, the best author of Star Trek books that there is. His "New Frontier" series is a delight to read, with excellent plot, characterization, humor, and competent writing. That being said, (and as I said about the first book of this series) this book wasn't really one of his better efforts. Granted, his "off day" is better than most writers' best, but still... We're two books into the series, and still, it feels like we're just setting the table. I'd really like to have seen more happening by now. And again, we end on a cliffhanger, something that I really hate. (Honest, I promise I'll buy the next book without a cliffhanger ending if the writing is good, and if it isn't, the cliffhanger isn't going to help, because I won't CARE what happens next.) Also, and this is just a personal preference, but I've always HATED the character of Shelby, so I could have really been much happier if she wasn't involved, but at least she's mostly being used for contrast between the "cowboy" Captain Calhoun and her own straightlaced, annoying self. I hope David doesn't start working at making her TOO sympathetic a character; I really DON'T want to start liking her. Definitely worth reading, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. Hopefully, things will start picking up in the next couple of books.

Summary: THE ADVENTURE CONTIUES!
Review: The second book in series follows straight on from where book one left off. This is great book for many reasons, it introduces an old enemy for Si Cwan as well as giving us information on his missing sister, and the interaction between Kebron and Cwan is absolutley great. This book has all the ingrediants for a perfect Star Trek story, action, humor and intrigue but it still feels that the story still hasn't kicked off yet.
