I think it's because the authors have used some well-known tropes from the original series, such as irritating planetary officials. But I LOVED how much like the TV characters the ones in this novel sounded!! So I do have some mixed feelings about the book.....Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-46409882244840421092018-04-01T13:52:24.223-04:002018-04-01T13:52:24.223-04:00Hi, Sue!

He's won teh Nebula Award, the Locus Award, and has been a finalist for the Hugo Award! I'm happy she turned her talents to Star Trek!! As for Zebrowski, he, too, is a renowned author. It's too bad, though, that this novel was not entirely satisfactory....<br /><br />Yes, there are A LOT of ST novels, not only forMaria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-80212563135311735452018-03-31T13:44:12.893-04:002018-03-31T13:44:12.893-04:00I've never read a Star Strek book but I loooov...I've never read a Star Strek book but I loooove the original series of Star Trek!

As per your commentary, some of the inhabitants of planets that The Enterprise crew interactes with are annoying and overbearing. Star Trek characters have always reflected people in the real world so this is at least realistic. <Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-42982006606787371152018-03-31T07:46:32.152-04:002018-03-31T07:46:32.152-04:00It’s great that so many Star Trek novels have been...It’s great that so many Star Trek novels have been written by well known SF writers. I admit it has been quite a while since I last read one, though; I think I was overwhelmed by how much there was, and after a while they began to produce trilogies, where I preferred stand alone. This one does sound like an episode. Maybe my library has a copy! Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.com
