Review : |
This Duology had a interesting and potentially exciting premise, but was bogged down in very mediocre writing. Tons of redundant dialogue and lame character developement weaken what should of been a faster paced TNG in Dominion War novel envoking the great DS9 two parters. Granted, TNG was a different show, but it sounds like a lot of interesting stuff was happening not covered in the novel. instead of a two part novel, it should of been one book 3/4 as long as both. Definately no Battle of Betazed. |

You are sorely mistaken, Franz Joseph did a Tech Manual during the great Star Trek drought with some blessing by Roddenberry, then Roddenberry started doing the movies/TNG and sort of kinda screwed Franz out of being canon. Anyways, this guide is very cool. I learned where the aft phasers are. The author also did some nifty guide to Star Wars ships. |

Great read. Exciting, filled with solid action, but not dumbed down. Even though Troi is a main character, it doens't bog down the story. Nice to see the Ent-E wail on Dominion and Cardie ships. In my own mind, this was the REAL 9th feature film (maybe with a couple tweaks here and there). |

Sigh. Vornholt continues to mess-up established characters and bore me with lame new ones. I figured out who traitor was very early on. The ending was not very exciting. Data was way to absent from the novel until the end, as was the Enterprise-E. Riker was not handled to well and Dr. Crusher was barely mentioned. I had hoped Vornholt would pull it out, but I was wrong. Good ideas, bad execution. |
