Editorial Review:

Product Description:


The fearsome progeny of forbidden technology, the Genesis Wave swept across the Alpha Quadrant, creating new life at the expense of everything that lay in its path. Only through the valiant efforts of Captain Picard and his crew was the Wave halted, and the cataclysmic threat to the Federation averted. Or so it seemed.

In the harrowing aftermath of the crisis, the Genesis Device falls into the hands of a dangerous religious zealot. But that disaster may pale beside an even more dire emergency, as Data develops a disturbing theory regarding the full cosmic consequences of the Genesis Effect: Can life truly be created from nothing, or must the entire Galaxy pay a terrible price for what Genesis has wrought?

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A wave of Nausea
The first two Genesis Wave Books really did justice to the premise of the Genesis Device and pointed out what Captain Kirk feared that this device could and would be used as not a life giving piece of Technology,but rather and assimulator of galaxie.When you read the first two books they slowly build up and explode with the intensity of a Neutron Bomb.In the secont book,you simply can't put the book down,you are compelled to read it until your eyeballs bleed THAT'S how good it is...

Sadly,instead ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - What happened?!!?
I was also going to title this review "ARRGGGHHHH!!!!". After two solidly-plotted books, the Genesis Wave saga falls completely to pieces with this third book. A Bajoran Priest steals a Genesis device, believing it to be the Orb of Life. The Enterprise, teams up with Admiral Necheyev and a small band of mercenaries to retrieve it. It's a good premise, but character-wise the result is such an illogical mess.

Firstly, I can understand why Picard is having a romantic liason with the Romulan Commander ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 3.5 Stars?
This is a fairly well-written book, interesting and quick-moving. It's something of a disappointment, however, because it is the third book of a three-book series which was quite adequately ended after two books; this is not really a continuation of the story from those books (although technically it is) but more of an afterthought tacked on, and it weakens the feeling of completion that the reader had after book two. It would actually work better as a stand-alone than as the completion of this series, although ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The sequel that should never have been written
What do you do when you have written a really great two-book series full of galactic destruction and adventure? If you're John Vornholt, you churn out a third book as a sequel to them (granted, it may very well have been the publisher's idea, but he could always have said no). Genesis Wave: Book 3 is everything that the first two books weren't: boring, plodding, with bad characterization and large stretches where nothing interesting happens. It is not only entirely forgettable, but it's also inconsequential. ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't Bother
Genesis Wave book 1 and 2 were excellent. I don't know what the author was thinking of when he wrote his 3rd book. He should have quit while he was on a roll.
