Product Description:
Capt. James T. Kirk's historic voyages have seldom been recorded fro, the vantage point of those who served "below deck" on the Starship Enterprise™ NCC-1701. This new trilogy reveals the courage and dedication of the men and women who constitute Kirk's crew, as well as the unearthly dangers faced by any who dare to explore the final frontier!
THE JANUS GATE
book two of three
FUTURE IMPERFECT
On a desperate rescue mission to recover their missing captain, the shuttle Copernicus and its crew have become lost in time and space, transported by a powerful subspace vortex to a hellish future time line where the brutal Gorn Hegemony has all but conquered the United Federation of Planets. Stranded on a transformed Federation colony, now a Gorn mining world worked by oppressed human slaves, Helmsman Hikaru Sulu meets an older version of a man he barely knows, Pavel Chekov, who now leads a ragtag band of freedom fighters against the Gorns.
Teamed together for the first time, Sulu and Chekov must struggle to survive in a future that should never have happened!

Well, here we are with book 2 of the Janus Gate trilogy. As has been previously mentioned, this is by no means a stand-alone. I have no problem with that; if I'm reading a trilogy and I start with book 2, I deserve any headaches I get while trying to glean what happened in book 1.
This book is better than "Present Tense" in that things get moving story-wise, and especially toward the end, I really got into the story. I will definitely be reading book 3, if only to find out how this ... Read More

For instance, the back cover blurb, while still clearly inaccurate, isn't quite as blatently inaccurate as was the blurb on the back of "Past Tense", the first book of the series. For another thing, while still ending on a cliffhanger, this book at least does us the courtesy of doing so AFTER resolving a major plot point. And the writing is just as good as it was in the first book of the series, which is saying quite a bit.
Unfortunately, while this book comes closer than book one did ... Read More

The second book in L.A.Graf's "Janus Gate" trilogy is an exciting adventure which builds on the ground work laid in book one. This time there is more of a science fiction edge, as the true nature of the Janus gate mechanism is revealed, and just how out-of-sync the time stream now is becomes apparent. The future adventure with Sulu and an older Chekov fighting the Gorn is an excellent idea, and the fact that the author found a new and interesting way to use established characters and aliens from ...

This book was still very good, and is a good timeline novel, but it is not the best of the three in the series. The book makes a good effort with the Scheenag, but the end falls apart in a strange cliffhanger.
Rating: -
Book one was basically the setup for the story that finally gets moving in this book. Having the alternate Sulu and Chekov interacting with each others counterparts is interesting but not. The young Kirk comes across as a typical teenager. The L. A. Graf writing team have written Uhura Chekov and Sulu stories before and are once again on the mark.
