Summary: Easily the best Star Trek book for TNG & TOS fan
Review: This is easily my favorite Star Trek book. If you've seen both the original and TNG series and know most of the episodes, this book is for you. It cleverly weaves a story with three timelines using both crews and a number of well known episodes from both series. First Contact was okay, but I wished they had made this into a movie instead (First Contact takes some elements from this book). Advice: Make sure to check out the original series episode called the "Metamorphosis," which had the crew meeting Zefram Cochrane, the father of warp speed (on earth anyway), on a deserted planetoid with the "Companion." This book will go into detail on how Cochrane got to the planetoid and what happens afterwards. If you see the episode first, it'll be more enjoyable.

Summary: This is The "Trek" Book To Read!!
Review: This is one of those rare books that you just can't put down. This is a team of authors that you'll want to read again and again. They did a great job of bringing the Guardian back into the story. After "The City on the Edge of Forever" Kirk never spoke of the guardian until now. I had wondered how they were going to bring back Cochrine and the Companion into not only the first generation but the next generation. But all my questions were answered in this great book that literally spans the generations. Kirk and Picard need to be brought together more often and I hope that it's the Reeves- Stevens pair that brings them together. This is a wonderful book for all lovers of Star Trek and I strongly recommend it!

Summary: Possibly the best of the Star Trek novels
Review: This is the story as the Star Trek timeline recorded it not the bassackwards version that you see in STNG: First Contact. The authors bring to life the characters from two different series, and a few new ones, and immerse you in the magical yet dangerous vision of man's future initially imagined by series creator Gene Rodenberry. This novel is a supreme credit to the story and is likely to be of immense enjoyment to all Star Trek fans.

Summary: Complex Star Trek Novel
Review: This novel is definitely for Trekkies. I'd give it 4 1/2 stars. Basically, 3 timelines take place. One in the late 21st century, with Zefram Cochrane, the discoverer of greater than light speed travel, being pursued by a madman, one Colonel Adrik Thorsen, who is part of the Optimum movement. This movement sounds similar to 1940's Nazis. He believes Cochrane can create a warp bomb, which would be an ultimate weapon against all enemies of the Movement. In the 2nd timeline, Captain Kirk and crew, are boarded by Admiral Kabreigny, who is wanting an investigation into the disappearence of a vacation ship. She believes Kirk is hiding something in regards to the vanishing of this ship, and that it is related to their visit to Gamma Canaris where Nancy Hedford died. Kirk and crew has a secret concerning Zefram Cochrane, Nancy Hedford and the Companion, that they swore not to reveal to outsiders. So, here in lies a struggle on the ship, plus coming into contact with the missing ship, and a dying Companion, searching for lost Zefram, along with Orion pirates and Klingons. Finally, the third timeline concerns Picard and crew. Ferengi and Romulans are involved here. The premise is that the Ferengi steal Romulan warbirds and have in their possession a Borg artifact, that could help the Federation. Upon some investigation, we learn that not only is there a Borg artifact, inside the artifact itself, is yet another, which appears to have come from the Preservers. Another Romulan ship shows up with a defector. While negotiations are taking place, another Warbird decloaks, and begins to attack both Enterprise and the other Warbirds. The connection between all three timelines is Zefram Cochrane and Adrik Thorsen. Eventually, the old and new come together around a Black Hole, trying to rescue Cochrane. Plenty of dialogue, action, and suspense make this one of the better Trek novels I've read so far. Not 5 stars due to the slow start, but the authors really piece together events pretty well, without getting too bogged down in each timeline.
