Product Description:
Shell Game
While on the routine mission to retrieve a research drone for recycling, the U.S.S. Enterprise™ encounters a Romulan space station adrift within Federation borders. Exploring the lifeless station, the crew finds ghostly apparitions flitting at the edges of sight.
Soon the U.S.S. Enterprise is also inexplicably without power. Captain Kirk and his crew must now solve the mystery of the strange apparitions before the Starship suffers the station's fate.
The situation becomes desperate when a Romulan warship arrives looking for the station, and the Romulan Commander accuses the Federation of treachery. Before Captain Kirk can save the Starship Enterprise from complete destruction, he must avoid becoming drawn into a deadly shell game -- a game that will leave no winners and no survivors...

I'm fairly surprised this novel was published. There's nothing wrong with the writing - in fact the writer creates some very vivid images. But, I'd rather read a poem or Shakespeare if that's what I'm looking for. I honestly felt this book could have been written without losing any plot or value in less than 20 pages.
Simply put, nothing happens! I read most of the ST series, and this one was among the hardest to have to pick up and read a few pages at a time. If you enjoy deep ... Read More

I have to admit...this is my favorite Star Trek book, and Ive read a lot in my time, believe me. Im not going to give you a detailed summary of the book because, frankly, you can read that in the summary above.
A lot of this book is told in McCoy-perspecitive, which makes for a very amusing time. Lots of the Spock-McCoy banter that we've all come to love. Id definatly suggest this novel to McCoy fans, like myself. Also, Chekov actually gets a part in this story, a part beyond his usual "Keptin, ... Read More

Somewhat poor execution.
Set in the period, as near as I can tell, between "Star Trek I: The Motion Picture" and "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (based on the fact that the apparently original Enterprise is intact, and Chekov is security chief rather than navigator), the plot of this story is something of a cross between the original series episode "The Immunity Syndrome", in which the Enterprise encounters a giant, energy-eating space amoeba, and the pilot episode of "Star Trek: The Next ...

In this, an Enterprise landing party explores a lifeless space station and experiences eerie, seemingly ghostly phenomena, while the Enterprise itself slowly loses power. The author does an excellent job of maintaining the spooky, tense atmosphere throughout the story. The writing is generally quite good. The descriptions are excellent and the action scenes as various people get into trouble very well done. The characterisation and dialogue is great, McCoy in particular having some classic commentary and ... Read More

Star Trek The Original Series: Shell Game written by Melissa Crandall is a story filled with mystry and intrigue as Kirk and crew try to solve the enigma as to why a Romulan space station is a drift in Federation space.
The Enterprise and crew are again on a routine mission like most of the Trek books start, but this time Kirk has to stay behind on the away mission. For Kirk to stay behind chewing at the bit is a hard swallow, but this time it is Spock and McCoy that go on the away mission and ... Read More
