Editorial Review:

Product Description:


Eighty years ago, bodiless entities brought a plague of violence and bloodshed to the planet Vulcan. The nightmare ended only when the entities were trapped inside special containers.

Now, on the eve of a galaxy-scale scientific exposition, the containers have been opened, freeing the malevolent entities to possess the minds and bodies of all they encounter, including the crew of the Starship Enterprise™. Friends turn into foes, and no one can be trusted as Captain Picard faces a deadly and insidious threat. Unless the entities can be stopped once more, they will spread their madness throughout the entire federation.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Pace, Suspense and HORROR
A horror Trek story is not the norm and they pulled it off. I continually was thinking, "This could make a great movie!, This could make a great movie!" Plus the ending was classic. I love the unemotional Vulcan statement....I would share but don't want to spoil it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than the original.
This book is a sequel to the original series book #30, "Demons". I hadn't realized that fact until I read some of the other reviews here, and was prepared to blast Dillard for simply filing off the serial numbers and putting the same plot into a Next Generation novel as had been used in an earlier book; I can only plead in my own defense that it's been a LONG time since I read that book. This book is much better-written than that one, though; I suppose that Dillard matured some as a writer in the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A rushed job full of contradictions and repitition.
"Possession" was evidently written by two women who were having a fight and not talking to each other anymore. You could always count on finding a detail that would contradict something from a previous chapter. One chapter everybody on board goes into a medically induced 36 hour sleep, a few hours later a guard is easily captured because he "has not slept in two days." Hello?? First that new android has eyes that are superior to Data's, then the opposite is true.
And then the authors must have ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best of horror-suspense Trek.
This is a sequel to Dillard's Original Series book Demons. The possessing, evil aliens are back and set on taking over the Enterprise and then the galaxy. The writing of this book shows true quality. It has exactly the right mixture of suspense, macabre scenes, action and flashes of humour. It starts out and stays sombre, but without getting morbid and depressing as most of Dillard's books do. The depiction of all the characters is excellent, with the scenes of Picard fighting the influence of the aliens ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - STNG #40 Possession -- A rare horror style novel!
Oddly enough, out of all of the Star Trek stories that J.M. Dillard has written this is the only original Star Trek story of hers that I've read so far. For several years I chose to skip over the original series stories where she's written most of her original stories, something of which I corrected a couple years ago.

I found this story to be, while not extraordinarily original in theme, well told with an excellent premise, plot setup and execution and, in combination with Kathleen O'Malley's ... Read More
