Product Description:
Jean-Luc Picard. His name has gone down in legend as the captain of the U.S.S. Stargazer and two starships Enterprise. But the nine years of his life leading up to the inaugural mission of the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM to Farpoint Station have remained a mystery -- until now, as Picard's lost era is finally unearthed.
Following the loss of the Stargazer and the brutal court-martial that resulted, Picard no longer sees a future for himself in Starfleet. Turning to his other love, archaeology, he embarks on a quest to rediscover a buried age of ancient galactic history...and awakens a living survivor of that era: a striking, mysterious woman frozen in time since before the rise of Earth's dinosaurs. But this powerful immortal has a secret of cataclysmic proportions, and her plans will take Picard -- aided along the way by a brilliant but naive android, an insightful Betazoid, and an enigmatic El-Aurian -- to the heights of passion, the depths of betrayal, and the farthest reaches of explored space.

I just finished Christopher Bennett's book, THE BURIED AGE. Overall, I liked the book, but as I seem to say too often lately about many books recently published, it could use some more editing. Has there been a big cut back on editors at publishing houses or what?
That being said, I will share (other) observations I made on the book. First, the book flows much better in the first half than the second. I thought the court martial scenes were well done. Unlike some other reviewers, I thought ... Read More

I have to agree with many reviewers. I found part of "The Buried Age" to be good. We are indeed treated to a look at what Picard was doing between the years of losing the U.S.S. Stargazer and taking command of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D. My problem with the novel is, like many note, all the techno-babble that comes off as Christopher Bennett's attempt to make a simple novel overly complicated. It felt as if it dragged on. There is little action and even character development for Picard, the subject of the ... Read More

Bennett is an incredible world builder. The Star Trek universe presented in this novel is every tiny bit as consistent and plausible as any series of science fiction ever released, and applies such copious amounts of ingenious spackle that even TNG's first two seasons almost make sense. The achievements in this area should not be overlooked; I almost feel like one should read this before ever watching Star Trek, in much the same way that Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy so entirely improved the original ...

Christopher Bennett's "Star Trek The Next Generation: The Buried Age" is among the finer examples of "Star Trek" fiction that I've come across lately. It is a most engaging, quite exciting, exploration of first contact that works too as a decent space opera science fiction novel. Here we are given some interesting, quite tantalizing, glimpses into Jean-Luc Picard's character, looking more closely at his lifelong interest in archaeology, and the aftermath of losing the USS Stargazer. It is also a fine introduction ... Read More

This book started out great don't get me wrong but then it just became bogged down with the technical stuff which ruined the series at times as well. I give it three stars just because we learn so much about Picard and other characters.
