Product Description:
On the edge of uncharted space. . .
Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ find their way forward blocked by a mysterious alien vessel, piloted by a race they will soon come to know as the Antianna. Unable to decipher the alien ship's transmissions, unwilling to risk a battle, Enterprise is forced to veer from its planned course.
Almost immediately, they find themselves in the heart of space ruled by the Thelasian Trading Confederacy, who have also had dealings with the Antianna. The Thelasian leader, Governor Maxim Sen, is in fact in the middle of organizing a war against the Antianna, to eliminate the threat they pose to the Confederacy's trading routes.
Archer suspects Sen has other motives as well. He also suspects that there is a reason for the Antianna's seemingly hostile posture. But with the assembled races of an entire sector against him, he needs more than just suspicions. He needs facts. And only one woman can give them to him: Ensign Hoshi Sato. If she can translate the Antianna language, peace may just be possible. If not, war -- a devastating sector-wide war -- will soon result.

As an official Star Trek geek, I will point out that there is no way that the Klingons had an entire fleet of cloaked ships by this point in time -- I doubt that they had cloaking technology at all, given that they got it from the Romulans, who were only experimenting with it at this time. However, that's a quibble that only a geek would care about, and otherwise, the story was excellent. Characterizations, plot, pacing, language are all excellently handled and there are virtually no careless proofreading/editing ... Read More

This story is set in the "Star Trek" universe during the period of Archer's "Enterprise." To be precise it is set between 27th December 2254 while the Orion women were passengers on the Enterprise as described in "Bound," and January 19th 2255 when the events of "Demons" take place.
As the title and cover indicate, the most important character in the book is Ensign Hoshi Sato, and her work translating alien languages is central to the story.
The book starts with a strange and very powerful ... Read More

I agree with other reviewers about the book being too long and slow, not delivering, and not up to par with other Star Trek books that I've read. The author also breaks a few rules of science fiction writing:
+ Don't make the enemy so technologically advanced and superior that they have no weaknesses and are undefeatable. It becomes completely unbelievable and readers can't relate; it crosses way over the line from science fiction to become fantasy.
+ When this superior enemy has the upper ... Read More

I love the premise of this novel, the notion of translating a previously unknown language. As a history buff, it parallels with the notion of the early explorers meeting peoples they had never before had contact with and had to find a way of communicating with them although they had no conception of their language.
Unfortunately, this novel got bogged down with a disappearance and political intrigue (which I would normally like, but I would have liked to see more focus on the alleged premise of the novel.) ... Read More

Star Trek: Enterprise, Rosetta written by Dave Stern is a book about tranlations and the origins of the universal translator.
The main plot is about confrontation and understanding as Captain Jonathan Archer and the Starship Enterprise crew are traveling in uncharted space and run across a race of beings called the Antianna. The Antianna have complicated language and it falls upon Ensign Hoshi Sato to translate this language and find out whether they are friend or foe. As Archer stears clear of the Antianna ... Read More
