Title :

A Flag Full of Stars

Rating :

Writers :

Brad Ferguson

Year :

1991

Review :

A good book, though it seems that they are rather slow in building up the suspense. I wish they said more about the globe that G'dath made. The climax is a little short-lived, too.

Title :

Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future

Rating :

Writers :

Denise Okuda, Michael Okuda

Year :

1993

Review :

This compliments such books as the encyclopedia by listing everything in chronological order. They do need a new one, though; it's 12 years out of date.

Title :

How Much for Just the Planet?

Rating :

Writers :

John M. Ford

Year :

1987

Review :

This was by far one of the strangest Trek storylines ever. It seemed fairly entertaining, but got a bit confusing at the end.

Title :

Spock Must Die!

Rating :

Writers :

James Blish

Year :

1970

Review :

Despite the odd title, the book isn't bad. The story does have several parts which seem rather advanced for the time; the Klingons' shield didn't seem realistic for the 23rd century. Plus, the Klingons getting it up in the first place seemed implausible. A nice, if mildly confusing, read; I wouldn't recommend this to a nitpicker, though.

Corona

Rating :

Writers :

Greg Bear

Year :

1984

Review :

I agree with Bates; the story is just too cold. It's just so, I don't know, dark, I guess. This book could have used some major revamping.

Title :

Do Comets Dream?

Rating :

Writers :

S.P. Somtow

Year :

2003

Review :

The book didn't always make sense (I read over one or two parts twice just to make sure), but it had a good feel to it. No major problems with it. I liked it a lot.

Title :

Death Count

Rating :

Writers :

L.A. Graf

Year :

1992

Review :

It did have a good feel - it seemed like it should be in that era. Overall, a pretty good book; it was nice to see two minor races (the Andorians and the Orions) talked about in this book, instead of the Klingons, Romulans, or someone that was made up just for the novel.

Title :

The Romulan Prize

Rating :

Writers :

Simon Hawke

Year :

1993

Review :

This was a very good book. Though details on the Syrinx were sketchy, the rest of the story made for a good, enjoyable read. Definitely a book worth getting.

Title :

The Abode of Life

Rating :

Writers :

Lee Correy

Year :

1982

Review :

A very interesting book. Though I do think that if they had tried to stabilize that star later on, it would have made it that much shorter. In short, a good, and rather fast read.

Title :

The Physics of Star Trek

Rating :

Writers :

Lawrence M. Krauss

Year :

1995

Review :

This was an impressive and interesting look at the physics and technology of Star Trek. I do believe that images taken from the shows would have made it better, but, as is, it's pretty good
