Summary: STSCE #3 Hard Crash - A beautiful and well-crafted story!
Review: "Hard Crash" is another fine example of outstanding authorship by Christie Golden. As is usual with one of her stories, she throws in a feminine touch that brings about a subtle and very poignant atmosphere to the story. As is also usual with one of her outstanding stories, her plot setup and pacing is perfect, making for a quick and highly enjoyable read.This cover art for this third title in the SCE series serves well in continuing to show the readers the characters that largely populate the series. The premise: A strange and rather resilient ship crash lands on a planet in a highly populated area, fortunately for the residents there was enough warning time for the entire population to evacuate the area. Starfleet gets the call and the USS da Vinci is called in to render her services. Once on the scene, an away team is sent to the ship where they soon discover a dead alien in the command seat, 110 is rebuffed by the computer system and the ship, thought to be disabled, comes back to life... What follows from there is a very poignant page turner that once again reaffirms Christie Golden's status as one of Star Trek's premier authors. I highly recommend this title to any and all fans of not just the SCE series but Star Trek in general. {ssintrepid}

Summary: New series - old friends
Review: I think what I like about this series is that we are seeing characters from just about all of the tv series. This book is the 3rd look at the StarFleet Corp of Engineers, nicely written (if not a little short in pages). I enjoyed seeing the evolution of the main characters and look forward to the further adventures.

Summary: Great action, great suspense.
Review: This was a fascinating conclusion to the S.C.E. series. We learn more about the main characters, and at the same time, we learn a great deal about the so-called antagonists. The imagery and detail of this story was some of the best of any Star Trek novel that I have read. Combined with the action and unusual turn of events, it is truly one of the best of the Trek novels.
