Product Description:
Dazzling to behold, Gemworld is one of the wonders of the Federation: an artificial world composed entirely of crystal, its atmosphere held in place by a sophisticated network of force fields. Home to a half dozen different sentient races, this singular world is a low-gravity playpen of mammoth spires, endless fractal staircases, gemstone arcs, and dazzling prisms, oil carefully nurtured by the planet's many inhabitants -- until now.
Lieutenant Melora Pozlor, who previously served on Deep Space Nine™, is currently stationed aboard the Starship Enterprise™ where an urgent telepathic summons alerts her to the danger threatening her homeworld.
The crystals that once sheltered her people, and several other alien species, are now growing at a vastly accelerated and uncontrollable rate, wreaking havoc throughout the planet. Captain Picard orders the Enterprise on a rescue mission to Gemworld, but they arrive to find a world in chaos -- and an unexpected menace that traps the crew of the Enterprise along with the fragile civilization they hoped to save!

Both of the books are interesting reads, but its clear that they're both padded to make it a two book 'set'. Not cool bilking the readers out of an extra six-fifty.

There are two theories about Gemworld, one is that it is artificial and the more believable of the two is ... Read More

Star Trek-The Next Generation: Gemworld Book #1 written by John Vornholt is an action-adventure mystery with the main character being none other than Reginald Barclay helping a world experinecing a natural disaster.

The two Gemworld novels must be the most visual Star Trek novels I've ever read.
Think of a planet that is so old it has to be artificially maintainned by growing magnificent chrystal formations to keep the hollow planet from deteriorating to extinction. Due to the low mass of the "planet", there is virtually no gravity, and the six very different species that inhabit it are constasntly "flying" through the chrystal formations.
Sounds like a fairy-tale?
Well, it is. But the ... Read More

GEMWORLD is an exceptional effort from John Vornholt. I consider him a solid, workmanlike writer whose books are always reasonably interesting and well-told; but he's never before shown the great creativity evident here. Conceptually, his books have generally stayed within the same limits as the TV episodes: Earthlike planets, humanoid aliens, shipboard mystery or action stories, and in recent years a steady focus on the Maquis. But in GEMWORLD, suddenly a wealth of terrific SF ideas have come pouring ... Read More
