Summary: Great Book!!
Review: Clearly one of the better Star Trek™ novels. It starts out with an explosion on Centaurus and goes quickly into the history of the meeting between Kirk and McCoy. After that it's a race to see who will get the terrorists who exploded the bomb. I especially like the part when Kirk goes to his cabin and is surrounded by hostile forces. The only bad part was Ferguson had the Enterprise™ going into the atmosphere. Every good fan know the starship cannot go into the atmosphere. Other than that a great story with a great ending. A must read!

Summary: Code: Wildfire
Review: The crew of the enterprise is really challenged in this adventure. First they get up only to find that the Enterprise is got something wrong, then they get a message that something really bad has happened. How bad, really bad. This is another book that shows what humans can really do when push comes to shove. Even Spock is impressed. All the while try to help save more then one life. If not, many more will die without knowing what happened. Even the Enterprise comes to the rescue when the Captian needs here the most.

Summary: Mediocre.
Review: This is neither an especially bad Star Trek novel, nor an especially good one. The characters were handled, for the most part, with a deft touch, and the main plot was interesting enough, if not spectacular. But unfortunately, the author set up a situation that would have been too easily solved if the Enterprise were working properly, so he felt the need to fall back on the trite old standby "the Enterprise is malfunctioning, but needs to complete a difficult and dangerous mission anyway" routine, a badly overused plot device. Further, his eventual explanation of what caused the malfunction was so comletely implausible as to challenge the abilities of even the most forgiving fans of the unlikely to suspend disbelief. Further, he flubs rather badly in one of his attempts to reference original television episodes as history for the story; at one point, Kirk is reminiscing about the events in the episode "The Galileo Seven", and "remembers" that only some of Scotty's best transporter work saved the crew of the shuttle. Only problem is, Scotty was one of those on the shuttle being beamed to safety. A trivial point, I know, but if you're going to refer back to the show in the first place, you should be careful to do it ACCURATELY.
