Into the Void (Star Trek New Frontier, No 2)

Rating:
Summary: The Journey Continues
Review: This sequal to the House of Cards has made me a true fan of the New Frontier series. The story is great, as well as the characters, that are both from previous Star Trek tv shows and from past books, or just new from Peter David's head. Be sure to have the next book ready to go.

Summary: Polished THIS one off in one night!!
Review: This series doesn't quite make a "1" rating (it's so bad it's good). Still, I stand in awe of it, because it is just plain awful. Would-be writers and editors can have a field day. Groan, as you correct the spelling and grammar. Yawn, as you eliminate redundancies, thus cutting the verbiage by about two-thirds. Grimace, as you wonder how the author could have missed so many opportunities. Evince no surprise as your pet goat refuses to eat it. Sigh with relief as you tune the tube to the more literate adventures of Hercules and Xena. Otherwise, have a nice day

Summary: New Ship...New Crew...New Possibilities
Review: Where the first volume of this series laid a good foundation, this book starts to flesh out additional members of the crew of the USS Excalibur, and gives the reader a whole new host of species to learn about. Commander Shelby, of Borg-collective-expertise fame, finally makes her appearance as first officer -- and we get to meet a Hermat engineer who is of dual sex. It makes for some gender bending interest that is humorous as well as enlightening. The short serial nature of these slim volumes leaves you hanging and waiting for more. A far cry from the usual novels that have to wrap up all the conflicts and resolve all the problems before you run out of pages
