Rating: Summary: Excellent action-based story. Review: This is a very good Star Trek story if you're looking for edge-of-your-seat action with a modicum of fine characterization, particularly of Sulu, Checov, and Uhura. If you want a slower-paced, more thought-provoking story with fewer points that require effort to suspend disbelief, this may not be what you're looking for. As usual, L.A. Graf does a fine job with the writing itself, and if the plot has a few holes in it, it still moves well.
Rating: Summary: One Of The Best I've Read Review: This is, without a doubt one of the best TOS books I have read in ages. My favorite thing about L.A. Graf's novels is the focus on Chekov, Sulu and Uhura, instead of Kirk, Spock and McCoy for a change. It has a great storyline, the characterisations are well done, and the touches of humor were excellent. One thing though, why do they feel the need to beat Chekov up in all their books? C'mon guys, give the poor guy a break!
Rating: Summary: A great story, but what a bruiser! Review: This story, starring Chekov as the beat up hero security chief, is a fabulous tale of terror, death, and deceit. Also, there are many intricate plot twists, revealing the truth only at the very end. Graf is definitely one of the best Trek writers. I've read this book twice, and I continue to enjoy it. One of my favorite parts is when Chekov accidentally beats up a weasely Federation auditor. The ending had me perched on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend this book.
