Summary: STNG #39 Rogue Saucer - A truly exceptional numbered novel!
Review: "Rogue Saucer" is, without a doubt, one of the best numbered novels in the Star Trek The Next Generation novel series. This exceptional novel was written by John Vornholt who, over the years, has proven himself to be one of the most consistently wonderful authors in the Star Trek genre. As with any of his other previous novels, "Rogue Saucer" once again reaffirms John Vornholt's extraordinary writing skills, from the exciting premise and the plot setup and execution to the fast pace, this novel scores in all areas.

As was standard for the time in which this novel was published, the cover art for "Rogue Saucer" is somewhat lackluster but it doesn't detract from the experience of the novel.

The premise:

This novel has some obvious influence from Star Trek "Generations," but it is placed shortly after the events in the seventh season's "Preemptive Strike."

The Enterprise's saucer section is put in "dry dock" for some needed repairs and the crew of the Enterprise is given the opportunity to test an experimental saucer, marrying it up with the primary hull. Before the command crew of the Enterprise, aboard the experimental saucer section, can get hooked up with the engineering hull, it is hijacked by the Maquis, in hopes of hijacking the primary hull of the Enterprise and using her against the Cardassians in the DMZ.

What follows from there is, as stated above, one of the best numbered novels in the STNG novel line. I truly enjoy how John Vornholt can bring in guest characters and use them so well, such as he did with this novel and Admiral Nechayev.

I highly recommend this and any other John Vornholt Star Trek novel as you will most certainly find in your hands, some of the best Star Trek fiction available! {ssintrepid}

Summary: ST-TNG: Rogue Saucer
Review: Star Trek-The Next Generation: Rogue Saucer written by John Vornholt is an action-adventure novel spiced with a plot to steal an experimental new saucer section being fitted to the U.S.S. Enterprise.

As the U.S.S. Enterprise has its saucer section being refitted for damage and upgrading a new improved saucer section is being issued to replace the old section. Adniral Nechayev, Commander Riker, Data, Worf, and LaForge are on the new saucer section taking it out on a shake-down cruise when all of a sudden it's being hijacked by a group of loyal Maquis. The Maquis are a band of rebels that want to drive the Cardassians out of the homeland planets by any means possible.

Now, faced with a dilemma, Captain Jean-Luc Picard must choose between his friends lives aboard the saucer section and his orders from Admiral Nechayev to destroy the hijacked saucer section. This storyline has a lot of action-adventure and will keep the reader on the edge of his/her seat as Picard must resolve this dilemma.

The saucer section being hijacked is a newer model that can survive a re-entry and landing and be reused again. That is why the Maquis are so interested in obtaining this new ship for their on going fight with the Cardassians. Commander Fulton, Blue Moon, and Peacock are the Maquis who take over and hijack the new saucer section.

Picard must solve this and other twists and turns in the plot in order to resolve the situation before it gravely affects the Enterprise in an all out attack.

You won't be disappointed in this novel as there is intrigue, some mystery, but there is a lot of action-adventure as the U.S.S. Enterprise is divided and under attack.

Summary: Maybe if you really liked Generations
Review: The author of this book obviously saw the movie, thought about the crash scene, and decided to base a whole book about it. Yes, it takes place before the movie on the Enterprise-D, and it includes an interresting terrorist to steal this recoverable new saucer section. But, what really got me was, after the crash at the end of the book, they self destruct it! What was the point of that? It was supposed to be recoverable.
