Summary: STNG #43 A Fury Scorned - Interesting but with faults!
Review: "A Fury Scorned" is the first novel in the Star Trek genre by Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski. As Star Trek fiction goes, this novel is a fairly decent one and this writing team has proven that they can write some fair to midland type Star Trek novels since this novel was published.The overall premise proves to be a fairly interesting one, where this novel falters is in the pacing and the execution of the plot setup. There were times within the story that the pacing was just too slow and the story somewhat stuttered, which detracted from the overall experience of the book. The cover art for this novel is pretty much the same standard fare for the majority of the novels published at the time when this one was. The premise: Captain Picard and crew find themselves faced with Epictetus III and one of Captain Picard's toughest dilemmas' ever; the planet's star approaching nova and too few ships available to evacuate the population of over twenty million inhabitants. As has happened many times before, Data proposes a radical new scientific experiment which "may" save the entire planet and its population... What follows from there is an interesting story but one that is ultimately non-engaging due to "quirks" within the plot setup and execution thereof and the pacing. I would recommend this novel as it is part of the line of all Star Trek The Next Generation novels for those that wish to read all of them but to the casual fan, this may be one to pass up on for it is not a "great" example of Star Trek fiction, but it is also ultimately not the worst either. {ssintrepid}

Summary: The plot is absurd
Review: Data's "revolutionary scientific experiment" is unbelievable. The outcome is predictable, so it simply wasn't enjoyable. There are far better TNG books to read. Also annoying is how Deanna Troi is addressed as "Lieutenant Commander" despite the fact that she is a full Commander (even the three solid pips on her uniform on the cover of the book indicates this).
Rating:
Summary: Ah! Another one of those save-a-planet books.
Review: I found this book to be boring and unoriginal. Also, I'm not much of a scientist but I don't really think you can make a planet travel through a wormhole.
Rating: 
Summary: Great but Needs More Details
Review: I would give it an eight out of ten becuase they could have used more details about what was happening when a piece of the planet slid off.
Rating:
Summary: A very good book, but don't expect too much action.
Review: More of a thinking than a doing book. Captain Picard is faced with a planet with millions of people on a planet with a sun about to go nova. He must decide to either take as many people as he can and flee the nova (which will occur in less than a week) or try to move the planet through a wormhole to another star- and risk both the Enterprise and the entire planet.
Rating:
Summary: How did they make that wormhole again?
Review: Ok, lets not kid ourselves. This is a good, solid Star Trek story, but it isn't brilliant, nor is it original. This book is just another Enterprise-saves-the-planet affair, only this time (wait for it...) the planet gets sent through a wormhole. That's right. If this were possible, wouldn't it be mentioned before in Star Trek? As it is Data's 'revolutionary scientific experiment' seems a little farfetched and ridiculous. It does manage to keep your interest though, and it didn't take me too long to read. I think the best bits were the part where that piece of the planet breaks off and the actual crossing through the wormhole. I will admit that once I managed to forget about the absurdity of the whole wormhole thing, I did enjoy this book, although I still think there are a lot of better save-a-planet books (Death of the Princes, Last Stand, Double Helix #1...) I think people who like that kind of pioneering/scientific Star Trek book will probably go for this. I give it 'average' - three stars.

Summary: ST-TNG: A Fury Scorned
Review: Star Trek-The Next Generation: A Fury Scorned written by Pamela Sargent and George Zebrowski is a Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise save-the-planet book. Faced with a population of twenty million and who and what to choose to evacuate Captain Picard and crew are facing steep odds. A dying sun, soon to go nova, threatens the planet Epictetus III and all that inhabits this planet. The U.S.S. Enterprise crew must come up with a solution or all will be lost. Running out of time, Data proposes a revolutionary solution to this ever growning concern... a wormhole. But, not just any wormhole, no sir... a wormhole big enough for a whole planet. I know it sounds quite farfetched, but this is scifi and anything is possible. But will this novel experiment work? Can the U.S.S. Enterprise be saved? Only time will tell and the answers are in the ending of this book. For action-adventure this is a good book as the narrative flows and it makes for a rather quick read. Captain Picard's trust in Lt. Commander Data and a solution that is highly experimental and weigh in the balance. But, this book will engage the reader till the end. This is not the best written book in the TREK universe, but it sure isn't the worst either.
