Summary: This is really a crossover! 2006-11-14
Comment: This is what a real trekky always love. A crossover between favorite characters of the different Star Trek series! Besides, the plot is easy to follow and very exciting. Michael Jan Friedman is very good at that. I definitely recommend this book and hope that more like it are currently being written.

Summary: "-I- AM SPOCK-TACUS!" 2005-12-17
Comment: You can bet that if Peter David had lifted a cliche as hoary as the "I am Spartacus" moment for one of his stories, he would have at least given a nod to his source! Spock as messiah became fairly tedious, as did the rehash of 'old codger from OST becoming a liability and then proving himself' plot line from RELICS. Dry, humorless, with action scenes that lead nowhere and a seemingly superficial grasp on what makes the characters tick. I just don't get why Mr. Friedman is so popular. I've been so pleased with the overall improvement in the ST fiction offerings in the last few years - Kevin Ryan, Peter David, Greg Cox and others have all been able to incorporate and expand the dimensions of the trek universe with wit, heart and intelligence. Like another reviewer here, I keep trying to like this author's books since he is so prolific, but damn it, Jim, Star Trek fiction should never be a chore!

Summary: Not a bad book, admittedly 2005-09-14
Comment: I picked this novel up on a whim long ago during my Trekkie phase, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. Not only does it bring back the memorable characters of TOS cast in TNG universe, it incorporates them and their motivations in a way that the shows never really did.
The story deals with Spock finally coming under Romulan capture during his lengthy task of reunification. Held by an ambitious governor, he is scheduled to be executed along with his followers, and thus the stage is set for the political intrigue and philosophical side of the novel.
Starfleet's response is swift and sure. Spock had an amazing memory, and 150 years of top-level Federation secrets locked within his mind. The security threat is staggering. Thus, one of Spock's old friends -- a certain Doctor Leonard McCoy -- is brought aboard the flagship Enterprise to help negotiate the prisoner release before the romulans discover Spock among the unificationists.
At the same time, retired engineer and genius Montgomery Scott intercepts a message from Starfleet to the Enterprise, and decided to go after Spock himself. To do that, he needs a ship, and so in pure Scotty fashion, steals an ancient constitution class starship in hopes of getting Spock out of Romulan territory himself.
The novel is a joy to read, and so I won't say much more. I will say, though, that this book really captures the adventure feel of the original series with the amazing characters of the next generation. In dealing with these relics of the past, the clash of tactics comes to the fore, and in the end it is a mesh of those tactics and philosophies that finally is needed -- but are the stubborn people of both crews and times able to meet that middle ground?
It's an interesting though, and explored fairly well.

Summary: Good Tale, Only a Little Choppy 2005-04-27
Comment: This review is for the abridged audio version (2 tapes, 3+ hours). Jonathan Frakes did a great job reading this, he has a good voice, and does a credible job in recreating all of the characters. The story itself was very engaging, but disconnected in a few places (not bad, but it was obvious that some things ended up on the cuttingroom floor). The sound affects were good, never drowning out the narrater. Overall a good purchase, and I recommend it.

Summary: Star Trek Crossover: This should be the next movie 2004-02-09
Comment: This is the best story to combine characters from both the original Star Trek series and The Next Generation. Jonathon Frakes gives an outstanding performance as he reads for characters like the surly Admiral McCoy, the stoic Ambassador Spock, and the irrepressible Captain Scott. His Picard, Data, and, of course, Riker are top notch, too. The story involves Picard and crew on a diplomatic mission to return a group of captured Unificationists from the Romulans, who don't know Spock is among them. McCoy, who is 145 years old, is brought in as a mission specialist since he knows more about Spock than anyone alive. He's old, cranky, and arrogant, and there is great tension between him and Picard. Scotty, learns of Spock's capture and launches his own rescue. This story would make an outstanding screenplay for the next movie. Make it so!
