Product Description:


DOUBLE, DOUBLE

On a routine exploratory mission, the Starship U.S.S. Hood picks up a distress signal from a research expedition thought lost long ago -- the expedition of Dr. Roger Korby, one of the centuries' greatest scientific minds. Korby himself is dead, it seems, but his colleagues have made a most incredible discover -- a discovery they insist the Hood's captain see for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down...

Meanwhile, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ begins long-overdue shore leave on Tranquility Seven. James T. Kirk is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation....until what seems like a bizarre case of mistaken identity plunges Kirk into a whirlpool of mayhem and murder.

And puts an inhuman stranger with his memories and anilities in command of the Enterprise.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An engaging read
Double, Double is one of the better Star Trek novels, with an engaging story generally well told. There are a few quirks: The turbolifts, no longer voice-activated, have a panel of buttons like a hotel elevator, on which one can choose the "Transporter Level." The U.S.S. Hood, which ends up under the command of the real Captain Kirk, suddenly becomes the U.S.S. Dunkirk around Chapter 26. A communications officer named Paultic is referred to as "Potemkin," right before he puts in a call to the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent work by MJF
I've been looking forward to this book for a while, as Michael Jan Friedman's first Star Trek novel, and I wasn't disappointed.

Several years after Captain Kirk found, destroyed, and covered up the android machinations of one Dr. Korby, the androids have returned, determined to fulfill Korby's dream of android humanity. An android duplicate of Kirk is created, and his goal is to dispose of his original and to capture the Enterprise.

This novel has conspiracy, intrigue, Romulans, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of Friedman's best.
This book is a sequel to the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?", and it surpasses the episode that is its inspiration on all counts. Its plot moves more smoothly, it has more consistent and plausible characterization, and is just generally a very good story, very well told.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Are humans imperfectable?
Remember the TV episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" Well, in this adventure Roger Korby's android assistant, Dr. Aaron Brown resumes the plans of the Creator (Korby) to populate the galaxy with androids, replacing the human race! (This Brown is presumably the second one Korby created, because the first Brown was destroyed in the episode). Brown creates an evil duplicate of Captain Kirk determined to control the U.S.S. Enterprise. Brown and "Kirk" lure a starship to planet Exo III where they lure ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun
For a book dealing with evil twins, this one's pretty darn good. It's a sequel to a weak-but-fun first season episode. Read it for excitement and fun.
