Summary: Oops... wrong book!

Summary: Poor
Review: Star Trek books have become a joke and this one is the definitive proof. Lack of good story telling, inconsistent plots, and no attention to scientific accuracy have become the hallmark of Star Trek books in general. This one is no exception. Only Star Trek fans are dumb enough to continue to invest money in these trashy, poorly written and positively dull stories.

Summary: The Eary Years
Review: This novel was very true to it's source material. The death of Gary was a crushing blow to Kirk. We get to see what happened before they become officers. It's so unusual to hear Kirk having to answer to a captain! Gary turns out to be the one who influenced Kirk's life profoundly. It's his experience living in the large city as opposed to Kirk's confined upbringing as a kid. His friend helped him take risks at the right time to further his career and love life. That's why Kirk felt such a loss.

Summary: YEEEEAAAAHHHHH HAAAAAAA!!!!!
Review: This was a great books and a fun read. Unike, many Friedman books, this was a more serious book and did consist of that immature language that the author has been seen using. Fortunately it wasn't a a replica of a previous novel like he did with Saratoga and Reunion.

Rating:
Summary: Annoying.
Review: You would have to wonder, wouldn't you, if a StarFleet captain could describe the cituation with galactic barrier better, like maybe not giving that much weight towards glowing eyes and echoing voice and going for the sensor readings instead? I could never completely warm up towards the original ST tv series, because of their naivette and simplicity. I did, however enjoy the books. (The characters are great!) This book, unfortunately, managed to take all that I did not like about the series and bring it to the new level. As I said, annoying!
