| Review : |
Frankly, I didn't like this book. It is possible that my expectations were too high, because I'd read the Destiny trilogy just before Resistance. The main problem with is book is, that you get the impression that the whole Star Trek Universe consist of the Enterprise, and the Borg cube. And that the Enterprise has a crew complement of less than 10 officers - the senior staff. Because of this, the whole novel is 'introverted'. From a point, it's like a duet between Picard and the Borg queen. The plot is rather simple, you can anticipate the end of the story quite early. The characters are mostly flat, except Worf perhaps. Personally, I found the inner struggle of Picard a bit unrealistic, and hard to believe. On the other novel has some good features. The two new TNG characters Lio and Sara are well formed. Their relationship is one of the best features of this book. I also liked Worf's problems over becoming a first officer. The final confrontation at the end of the story is well written, and is both exciting and realisitic. In conclusion Resistance from J.M. Dillard has a mediocre story, mostly boring characters, but the final 50-60 pages are reasonably good. |
