Summary: Wonderful Book!
Review: I read this book for the first time many years ago, and I think I've probably read it 10 more times since then. One of the most intriguing Star Trek novels ever. Sonni Cooper puts together a first class relationship with Spock and his Romulan friend. A must read (if you can find it).

Summary: If you find this book - buy it!
Review: I thought this book was excellent. I started reading it without too much interest - it was given to me as a gift. But the story quickly drew me in from the first chapter and kept my attention till the end. I especially loved how well Sonni Cooper portrayed the close friendship between Kirk and Spock. This book remains one of my favorites of the series!

Summary: Dissapointing.
Review: I'm a big Star Trek fan, but I didn't really like this book at all. I didn't even finish it, because reading it felt like the piece of metal that was wedged into Spock's back. And I know that the ST novels are set outside the regular Star Trek continuity, but the jump from Original Enterprise to first movie Enterprise in just a few months after an onboard explosion? Give me some credit.I'm planning to release my copy via BookCrossing at a movie theatre after Star Trek Nemesis opens, so I hope it'll end up with someone who'll like it more than I did.

Summary: One of the poorer Classic Trek efforts
Review: In my reviews of Classic Star Trek novels, it must be understood that I adhere to the original canon as invisioned by Gene Roddenberry, and not the "Star Trek" universe accepted by Rick Berman and company. I generally rate a classic novel thus: Adherence to Canon -- does this novel adhere to the vision of the original Star Trek? To a certain extent. 2.5 stars Believability (within the confines of 23rd century Star Trek viability) -- is this novel well-plotted and well
written? Can I picture this novel or imagine myself in it? No! Plot is pretty silly. Coherence and Consistency -- does this novel internally consistent? Is it consistent with other Star Trek
novels by the same author? Is it consistent with what is known of the CLASSIC Star Trek universe? No! It's quite difficult to fit this storyline with any amount of reasonability within the traditional "Classic Trek" canon. Mitigating Factors -- pluses or minuses which dramatically affect the enjoyment of this book. Minus one for a suicidal Spock. Sorry, just doesn't work for me!

Summary: One of the worst Trek novels
Review: In _Black Fire_ you get a hackneyed plot, which revolves around a piece of fabric. It's slow-going and the reader often wonders what is motivating the characters. It doesn't surprise me that this is the only Star Trek novel Sonni Cooper ever wrote. Considering the possibilities inherent in Star Trek and in science fiction, this book is a loser.

Summary: Cheesy fun
Review: So Leonard Nimoy would probably never play Spock this way. But this book is FUN! Especially for romantic Spock fans who like to see him play the rogue. A fun, light read for Spock lovers everywhere.

Summary: The Life and Times of Spock the Pirate
Review: Spock fans might enjoy "Black Fire," especially those who have always wondered what he might have been like as a 23rd century pirate. I had never wondered that myself, but apparently Sonni Cooper did, because there is not much else going in her novel. The story centers around Spock and Mr. Scott trying to track down the saboteurs of the USS Enterprise. Along the way, Spock tries repeatedly to commit suicide (which somehow sort of makes sense in context) and becomes the most famous space pirate of all time. It reads a little better than it sounds, but only a little.
