Product Description:
If you think you know how it all began, think again...
Young Jim Kirk wants nothing to do with Starfleet, andnever wants to leave Earth. In the summer of 2249, he's a headstrong seventeen-year-old barely scraping by in San Francisco, haunted by horrific memories from his past.
In the same city, a nineteen-year-old alien named Spock is determined to rise above the emotional turmoil of his mixed-species heritage. He's determined to show his parents he has what it takes to be Vulcan -- even if it means exposing a mysterious conspiracy at the heart of the Vulcan Embassy, stretching to the farthest reaches of the Federation's borders. There, a chilling new threat hasarisen to test the Federation's deepest held belief that war is a thing of the past and that a secure future can be forged through peaceful means alone. But it is in San Francisco, home to Starfleet Academy, where that threat will be met by two troubled teenage boys driven to solve the mystery that links them both.
In time, the universe will come to know these young rebels as Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock...two of the Federation's greatest heroes. Yet before they were heroes, they were simply conflicted teenagers, filled with raw ambition and talent, not yet seasoned by wisdom and experience, searching for their own unique directions in life -- a destiny they'll discover on one fateful night in San Francisco, when two lives collide, and two legends are born.
Star Trek: Academy -- Collision Course sets the stage for an exciting new era of Star Trek adventure, and for the first time reveals Kirk and Spock as they were, and how they began their journey to become the Kirk and Spock we know today.

This is one such example, Burning Dreams is another.
Second, it is written after all by William Shatner and portrays a young James Kirk as Shatner would like to have him seen. It is in a sense ... Read More

It's really hard to say what this book is. A joke? The truth? Another parallel universe?
The story is about teenage James T. Kirk and his first encounter with Spock. It explains how a brash and confused Jimmy Kirk ends up at Starfleet Academy after fighting a criminal gang with his newfound Vulcan friend.
The first thing I noticed was that the writing was just all over the place. The narration bounced between great and ugly, exciting and boring, and witty and dull. Classy dialogue ... Read More

A fun novel for teens. Not as good as the rest of the Shatner Reeves Stevens collaberations.
Lots of plot holes but good spirited fun, adequately written and some more background about what happened on Tarsus IV

As a previous reviewer has noted, this novel is not intended to be great literature, but it is far more fun to read than that stuff anyway! It is obviously directed to fans of the Original Series, so my comments are only applicable to those readers. Yes, you will be required to suspend your disbelief in some parts, but if you do you will greatly enjoy the ride. I was very pleased that the events and characters hold very closely to canon, and any deviation was not enough to distract me. In reading Trek novels, ... Read More
