Product Description:
Fate: It is an idea as old as life itself. Do our choices shape the future, or is it the other way around? And if the path we walk is predestined -- if the way we are to meet our end is knowable -- what might that knowledge compel us to do?
Titan 's travels take it to a world at the edge of reason. Orisha is a planet whose people have lived for centuries beneath an unfathomable celestial body in their sky. From the moment it first appeared, the object was thought to be something unnatural, an ill omen that has made them feel watched, exposed, vulnerable -- provoking a primal fear that has steered the course of their civilization. The Orishans call it "the Eye," and because it has consistently defied every scientific attempt to decode its true nature, many are convinced it represents an intelligence that is studying their world...and perhaps waiting to destroy it.
But the secret behind the Eye threatens Titan as well as Orisha...and it holds a special meaning for one member of Captain Riker's crew in particular, whose lifelong quest to balance faith and scientific truth is tested against the harsh, unblinking glare of inevitability.

I really enjoyed this whole series. I can't wait for the new one this fall.

I enjoy the Titan novels for the same reason I enjoyed Challenger, New Frontier, and Vanguard. That is, they are not the same old Star Trek. While it's good (and comforting) to read about familiar characters, it's *great* to read about entirely new ones. And Titan is packed with 'em.
When I first began to realize this was going to be a temporal story, I got a little nervous, thinking "oh, no, reset button." In the end, thankfully, it did not turn out quite that way. I was most impressed ... Read More

There is non stop action in this story and finaly some marriage tension between Troi and Riker I loved that part. Though the surprise in the story is a bit of a letdown because you know that the Titan is not actually destroyed. Still a great novel though.

Geoffrey Thorne is a relative newcomer to the published Star Trek mythos, with just a few short stories to his name. Sword of Damocles, the latest "Titan" novel, is Thorne's first full-length novel, and he's written an exquisite one. The Titan writers seem to be excelling at not having "villains" in their novels, instead having antagonists that have conflicting points of view with our heroes, and Thorne provides us with a perfect example of that here. All of that, and Pocket Books has given us technical diagrams ... Read More

I've really enjoyed the Titan novels, but this is the weakest of the bunch. It's a pretty interesting story once you get into it, but it takes a VERY long time to get moving. There's about 100 pages of activity on the ship before the main plotline goes anywhere. Character development is nice, but other Trek authors have incorporated it in more interesting ways than Thorne does here. The main mystery of the "Eye" is pretty confusing but has a creative resolution at the end.
