Star Trek: Insurrection

Rating:
Summary: This is the best Star Trek book ever.
Review: I've read all the Star Trek movie books, and "Insurrection" is the one I like the best. The description of the Ba'ku and S'ona homeworld is breathtaking, and the action scenes are well described. Of all, I rate this book very highly and recommend it to everyone I can get my hands on.

Rating:
Summary: Over-rated and dull

Summary: Another great novelization!
Review: J.M. Dillard has with, Star Trek: Insurrection done another great job of novelizing a movie! I always approach novelization's with a little skepticism as far as what's put on page between the scenes on screen. That said, I don't really do that with her work. She captures the spirit of the film perfectly and put's some really good scenes in that we don't see on film. Thank you to the author for another great novelization!

Summary: Not bad, but hum seen it all before.
Review: The premise would make a fine end of season two parter , but a blockbuster movie I think not! A respected star-fleet captain goes renegade to protect a veritable Garden of Eden /Fountain of youth planet from exploitation from both the Federation and outside forces. Woahh! Excuse me didn't William Shatner already do this plot-line in his first Star Trek Novel: 'The Ashes of Eden'? Check it out; yes he did! And better too I might add. Lets stop beating around the bush First A Star Trek : Voyager: ; 'Mortal Coil' episode and now Star Trek 9 - Insurrection, pinching ideas and plotlines from the man who portrayed third Captain of the USS Enterprise. Anybody with half a 'Trek' brain can see it. In Voyager: The episode 'Mortal Coil' Neelix is revived from the dead by Borg nanite technology. A contrivance of William Shatner's to revive Captain Kirk in his book: 'The Return'. from his demise in the 7th Trek movie Generations. If they have any sense they'll adapt one of Kirk's books for the tenth film or do a crossover with some of the original Enterprise crew doing cameos.

Review: The Star Trek books are about in the same shape as the movies are. Poor plots and off characterization is the name of the game here.This autio tape and the film it's based on, brought the series to a new low creative wise and Trek has still shown no signs of visable recovery.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: This book had great potential. The movie had a character oriented enough story that MS. Dillard could have given us something in the way of a back story, or some character development, except in the very beginning. She is going downhill. She did an excellent job with Star Trek 5 and 6. Those were very good books, better than average for star trek books, and not bad even for regular books. Then with Generations and First contact, she still did an ok job, but they were short and had large print. In this one it is lacking development to the point of deficiency, and where are the color photos from the movie. Also, the best part of the previous two STTNG movie novelizations was the behind the scenes at the end. Where did that go. Not only is this book more expensive, but it also lacks that whichj made the others readable. By the way this book is 284 not 385 pages.
