Rating: Summary: Enterprise to the rescue again. Review: Another good book of the Star Trek universe. The universe is in danger again and CPT Kirk and the rest of the crew have to rescue us again. Standard formula granted, but the author pulls it off quite well. Enjoy.

Rating: Summary: ST-TOS: The Three-Minute Universe Review: Star Trek-The Original Series: The Three-Minute Universe written by Barbara Paul is a very well-crafted and written book that features Uhura.As Captain James T. Kirk and the Enterprise crew arrive at a planet and discover a ship in orbit, but is it the ship that devastated the colony on the surface? Kirk et.al. discover that this ship is one from a race that is called the "Sackers." A race that is shunned by all in the Federation. They are loathed, disliked, and detested becuse if you just glance at one of them you become violently ill. The "Sackers" actually have stolen an advanced piece of scientific equipment and have created a interuniversal rift. Kirk and Uhura are the main charaters in this character driven plot. Uhura is finally getting her highlight in this book. Of course, the author has structured this book quite well and I was staisfied with the flow of the story. As the rip in the fabric of space widens, one universe will leak into the other. It will eventually become one with the other , but there will be devasting consequences. This is where the Enterprise crew shines, the solution at hand, but will it work or will they have to go back to the drawing board. Will it just be too late as time is running out... the suspense mounts and you will be engaged into this struggle as our universe is being swallowd into the rift. You've got bad-guys, a situation of univeral proportion. and the Enterprise and her crew facing the incredible odds. All making for a very fast and fascinating read.
Rating: Summary: I did not expect to enjoy this book. Review: The title and the back cover blurb left me expecting a rather trivial, amateurish book. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the author actually has a good grasp of the characters, and writes an excellent book. Granted, the plot is still rather dubious, and for that reason I rate it four rather than five stars, but the story itself was actually quite moving, and quite enjoyable. Don't be put off if the idea seems silly to you; the book is well worth reading, in spite of a rather trite basic concept.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT TOS BOOK! Review: THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE FIRST STAR TREK-THEMED BOOKS THAT I BEGAN READING. I REALLY LIKE THE PREMISE, THE ALIENS, AND THE CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT. THIS IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW STAR TREK BOOKS THAT SHEDS ANY KIND OF LIGHT ON THE BACKGROUND OF UHURA. SHE PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE ALL THROUGH THIS NOVEL. THIS IS HOW THE UHURA CHARACTER *SHOULD* HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR IN THE CLASSIC SERIES. I RECOMMENED THIS BOOK HIGHLY!!!
